Didn't take my opportunity to vote yesterday after end of the fag end of the 80s round. This is a decent finale, most of them are good songs and think it could be close among the final 3 or 4.

I know I already said this but this is by far the best list of songs we have had to vote on, and it’s stunning these are #2 songs.  In almost every case I’m left exclaiming in a loud high pitched voice ‘if that song was only #2, what the hell was #1?!’
