I actually don’t mind the Midge Ure song but it needs bringing down a peg or two as Feargal is a definite top 5 here.

I like the Eurythmics, but that's probably my least favourite song of theirs. Too warbly.

I agree but it is their only number one

 

I would much rather have seen 

 

Sweet Dreams

Who's That Girl

When Tomorrow Comes 

Don't Ask Me Why

 

However it is still head and shoulders above the competition here

01. Who's that girl

02. Love is a stranger

03. Here comes the rain again
