@Yvonne Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but @tracy has Tippi Hedren

A suggestion for the headline: Putting the Carter before the Hearse

A huge turn around

Really. Starr always looks to me like he has just been woken up. McCartney has been vegetarian for probably over 40 years and is still active

The fact that Ringo is still alive suggests there is no reason why he wouldn't be

Not sure where best to put this but S Club 7 are now going back on tour Paul Cattermole looks like he should be teaching Geography in an inner city comprehensive school

I am finding the presence of Barbara Leigh-Hunt on this list very disconcerting. She has been on my radar for years but I associate her primarily with the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride & Prejudice where she was the definitive Lady Catherine de Burgh

I have a lot of nostalgia for this. I am a big Genesis fan and took my then girlfriend (now wife) to see Buster when it first came out. We had the cinema to ourselves so we danced in the aisles to Two Hearts (a much better song). Phil Collins like Paul McCartney gets a lot of stick for being very good at that easy listening approach. I think his Disney songs are quite good but his ballads are better. If Against All Odds was in this competition or One More Night it would be getting huge upvotes from me. Groovy Kind of Love was one of the six I selected but I will probably not struggle in vain to save it at the expense of my other selections

That is quite a collection of No.2s in the full lavatorial sense of the word. Only a couple strike me as deserving No.1s

I would respectfully suggest that Like A Prayer is Madonna's best eighties track and surprised that it is not doing better here. Have we got PSB fatigue after putting through two in the last round. Heart was written with the intention of offering it to Madonna but they feared rejection so recorded it themselves. In respect to Kylie surely I Should Be So Lucky is an iconic eighties anthem whereas I cannot even remember Hand on your Heart. If I Wanna Dance With Somebody can't get through to the final then no other WH track deserves to.

Whilst Rolf seems to be the over whelming favourite here. Do we have any evidence to his state of health or are we relying on the lack of evidence that he is moving about?

I have updated my original list which is now a round 20.

Ah yes. I had him under D not S

That's a ripe old age for a rapper
