Denying that these songs are good (even in their own way) is sacrilege.

[Yudster]

Sometimes its not the "best" song that leaps out at you, or even your favourite song, but the song that most effectively evokes memories and atmosphere.

[CassieJackson]

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell



I think it's a safe bet that Yudster will be getting my vote this week, looking at what's up so far.

[Nicola_Red]

There was a website somewhere, where you can find out what was the number 1 track when you where born. I think mine was Paul Young's "Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home", what a lovely track

everyhit.com can do that as well - just search on the date. Mine is Down Down by Status Quo!

anyway - back to 1985. I think I'm gonna go with How Soon Is Now by The Smiths.

[English Bob]

Polls up! Vote vote vote!

[le_moribond]

Kate Bush for me. She's mmmm in the video.

[Johnny 1989]

Tough, tough choice, a lot of great ones in there. In the end I went for Nicola's late entry, How soon is now? A great track by the Smith's & still sounds rather fresh today.

[MK Chris]

Johnny 1989 this week.

[Munki Bhoy]

Billy Idol wins it this week for me.

[English Bob]

Bonanzoid for me. Cheesy 80's rock for the win!

[Bonanzoid]

I feel dirty going with a Man Utd fan, but Aha takes it on for me.

I went with Rebell Yell.... purely because Scooter did a version

[Johnny 1989]

Starship is popular this week

[Zoot]

He'd be allowed to vote though? The link he posted was to bonazoids choice

[Nicola_Red]

I actually don't really like anyone else's choice this week! Bad times.

[Johnny 1989]

Really? Not even Billy Idol, Kate Bush or Simple Minds?

[Bonanzoid]

Or Starship?!

[Munki Bhoy]

I worry about the tastes on here that Starship is so easily winning this.

Although, it does prove the 80s were shit.

Only for this week - Bob will put another one up for next week. And like Zoot said, if you haven't already, you can still vote in this one.

I honestly can't stand Billy Idol or Kate Bush (sorry!) As for Simple Minds...meh. If it was Alive and Kicking maybe...but then that'd be a different year!
