I don't really care about INXS (song's fine, but no connection to me). The rest it starts getting really difficult. Save a Prayer is my favourite Duran Duran song, Susanna Hoffs is a goddess, 1999 is a proper bop, Pet Shop Boys are the Pet Shop Boys, Queen are Queen (although I don't think Radio Ga Ga is peak Queen, it's grown on me), and the top 3 are all absolute 80s classics!

As far as Prince is concerned, if it were just 1999 I'd be downvoting by now. Little Red Corvette is awesome though so that saves it for me.
