    The Riddle - absolute tune.

    Eye Of The Tiger - it'll do I suppose.

    Billie Jean - forgot to type this one in too. Great tune.

    Q/Match 65

    Michael Jackson - Beat it – Kind of catchy but…
    vs
    Paul Young - Everytime You Go Away – Nice kind of soul groove so : My Vote.

    Q/Match 66

    The Jam - A Town Called Malice – Nice bit of new wave rock with a bit of a modish soul vibe – My vote.
    vs
    Nik Kershaw - The Riddle – Was a bit interesting on the first few plays but became a bit boring!

    Q/Match 67

    Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days – Interesting mixture of musical genres.
    vs
    Big Country - Big Country – Stirring Celtic Rock.
    But…. My Vote goes to Dance Hall Days.

    Q/Match 68

    The Cure - In Between Days – One of their more tedious songs.
    vs
    Survivor - Eye of the Tiger – It’s alright if over-played. It just gets My Vote.

    Q/Match 69
    Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want to Have Fun – It’s a happy tune but I’m fed up of it!
    vs
    Queen - One Vision – Amusing little ditty! My Vote.

    Q/Match 70
    Pat Benetar - Love Is A Battlefield. Very much of its’s time and it has lost some of it’s 80s appeal, but still has something. My Vote.
    vs
    Wham - Wake Me Up Before You Go Go – Awful.

    Q/Match 71
    INXS - Never Tear Us Apart – Not their best song but it’s tolerable. My Vote.
    vs
    Whitney Houston - How Will I know – Boring ‘80s soul/pop.

    Q/Match 72
    The La's - There She Goes – Great jangly guitars and harmonies. My Vote.
    vs
    ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man – It’s just alright, but a bit boring.

    Match 69 - Queen - One Vision. Not one of Queen's best, but still pretty good all the same.

    Match 70 - Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield. Always reminds me of MT USA with Fab Vinny on a Sunday afternoon.

    Match 71 - INXS - Never Tear Us Apart. Love this song, it was very nearly the first dance song at my wedding.

    Match 72 - ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man. Another that featured regularly on MT USA, you can't beat a bit of ZZ Top.

    Queen - One Vision. My fvourite song of all time. Roger taylor originally wrote it as an homage to the "I have a dream speech" and then Freddie came in and piece by piece, changed the entire song except for that line, which is uttered during the bridge.


    Wham - Wake me up before you go go :: Jitterbug. brilliant song, brilliant vocal and so much better than Pat Benetar
