All of these songs are fine to good. But if I recall correctly, Queen has won a lot of rounds already and they're not a fave of mine, so I'm mixing it up.

The wrong Tina song is nearest the trapdoor.

The Ultravox song is Ok to good but they did several better and it doesn't shine in this company.

Clearly both of these are minority opinions however.

I agree on both counts with GUB; that Ultravox song doesn't quite stack up in present company but it's still good so I'll allow it, and WDNAH is the better of the two Tinas but that'd definitely be a losing battle so I'll back the other, still brilliant one.

Sticking with the "5 from the top 6 and get rid of the bottom 3" strategy, but they're all good. Surprised Electric Dreams is now struggling, from that opening riff onwards it's an 80s classic.

I'd be reasonable content if this is how it finished, but, although the Ultravox song is one of the top 5,  its more of a number 4 or 5 than number 1 (imo). Also, the wrong Madonna song is still there.
