Kill or Save: UK No.1-hits of the 80s

Of the songs left, it and Ashes to Ashes are my favourites. If only the Pet Shop Boys and Dusty hadn't been kept off the top spot by Rick Astley, I much prefer that of all the PSB songs...

 

Mind you, most of my favourite 80s songs (For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica, Free World by Kirsty MacColl, etc) never troubled the charts at all! 

 

And some big favourites got kept off top slot by utter shite.

 

Free World is fantastic should have done so much better

Indeed - though it doesn't stop George and David being the best of those which qualified! (imo) :D

 

After all these weeks if Careless Whisper comes out top (even of what was available) I'm going back in time, creating 45 shill accounts and upvoting the wabbit.

Before the final started I listed all 25 tracks in order of preference

 

Remaining we have positions 3, 4 & 5 then a big gap to 13 & 15 and then three in my bottom four 22, 23 & 24

 

I did a top 5, and only one of those songs remains.

It’s A Sin is easily the most iconic song in this game, and that was too much for some people to deal with. Hey ho. In the face of absurd adversity it survived for a long time.

It’s NOT iconic it’s not even one of the best three songs on Please.  Speaking on behalf of a country, they were a one-album wonder (as great as it was).  When you chose to senselessly attack Madonna, who defined the 80s album after album, your personal favourite was done for.  Consider it tit for tat. Don’t hate the players, hate the game.
