Interesting that Robson and Jerome weren't on TOTP 'live'. The must've known the gig was up! Also, the best best new one by miles (pardon the pun) is One and One.

I was getting used to the early 80s again!! Look forward to 1988, the year I started to buy music properly.

1982 nearly over already! Hideous number 1 of course, but I’m a huge fan of Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth.

Faithless - one of the best dance tracks of the 90s, so dark and brooding. Love it. Suede - Beautiful Ones is a fantastic single, probably the most iconic on Coming Up. Spiceys - Say You’ll Be There is my favourite single of theirs, brilliant video and impressive sales. Cast - Flying is pretty good, though I forgot it got as high as 4!

Rio - my favourite Duran Duran song :wub:

Love Maneater, so 80s.

Pulp - Common People Simply the best song of all time :D

12. Severin Severin sent Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart - Becoming More Like God Firstly, Severin wants me to clarify that the version of this song on the Spotify playlist isn’t the one he sent, but the youtube version is right. It was too late for me to tell you about this due to the number of votes received and the timings. Hopefully, you all listened to the youtube versions (like me) to vote and things are subsequently all fair. Sorry for the confusion, Severin. Jah Wobble is the stage name of John Joseph Wardle, the original bass player in Public Image Ltd. Becoming More Like God was released in 1994 on the album Take Me To God which reached number 13 in the UK album chart. wsgA0s2T8Js
