Welcome to the sixteenth edition of Kill or Save! We are now back in the 90s, and I'm sure that my fellow KoS host TQR is excitedly waiting for this game to begin.
Here are the links to the previous games if you want to relive the action:

Tears for Fears- Mad World
These are the rules:
- Each song starts with 20 points.
- You can vote once a day. Since we all live in different parts of the world with all sorts of different timezones, please add a date at the top of your votes to avoid any type of confusion (e.g. 18/9/24, 18th of September, Wed 18 Sept, etc.).
- Each day you can give 4 points and subtract 6 points to any song on the board, you can split your points between as many songs as you want.
- Placeholder posts are allowed, but if you don't edit your votes within 5 minutes, then the next person can go and do their votes.
- Consecutive votes are not allowed.
- Before voting, please listen to the songs of each round and vote according to your own opinions, don't vote for songs because they're high/low on the board or because of your opinions about the artist, only the song matters.
- Make sure you copy and paste the most recent voter's scoreboard when you take your turn to score. For your own ease, ‘paste as plain text’ to get rid of the previous poster’s formatting. Then, delete their +/- scores, add yours, adjust the song’s points total and make your scores bold

The last time we saw Tears for Fears in a KoS game, they placed second in the 80's Number 2s. This time Curt & Roland managed to win the whole thing by being the ultimate compromise candidate. "Mad World" rarely moved throughout the final until the last few days of voting, where it received a huge amount of support since some voters had lost their favourite songs. Who would've guessed that a song with the lyrics "The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had" would be generally popular with deadpoolers?
The Gary Jules version of this song might have had a higher peak in the charts, but the original now has the highly prestigious "Won the best UK number 3 of the 80s according to the deathlist forums"™ award, whilst the cover version was going nowhere, going nowhere in the 2000s No.1's game.
The other artists in the top 3 were familiar faces in these games, since they already had some decent placements in previous KoS installments, so we can tell who are the forum favourites purely based on the final results of these games.
Mad World peaked at number 3 for 3 weeks in November 1982, with only Culture Club's "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me", Eddy Grant's "I Don't Wanna Dance" & Dionne Warwick's "Heartbreaker" reaching a higher position.
This is how the final round played out:
01 Tears for Fears- Mad World
02 Kate Bush- Running Up That Hill
03 The Bangles- Walk Like an Egyptian
04 The Vapors- Turning Japanese
05 The Damned- Eloise

07 Madness- Baggy Trousers (winner in my heart
)
08 Ultravox- Dancing with Tears in My Eyes
09 Tina Turner- We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)
10 Queen- A Kind of Magic
11 Queen- I Want It All
12 Aztec Camera- Somewhere in My Heart
13 Roy Orbison- You Got It
14 Soft Cell- Say Hello, Wave Goodbye
15 Eurythmics- Who’s That Girl?
16 Bronski Beat- Smalltown Boy
17 Heart- Alone
18 New Order- Blue Monday 88
19 Yazoo- Don’t Go
20 Michael Jackson- Bad
21 Earth, Wind & Fire- Let’s Groove
22 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark- Souvenir
23 Jona Lewie- Stop the Cavalry
