Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me

Despite them taking out my pick in Crowded House this is a quality song.

Huey Lewis and the News - The Power of Love

Cos you don't need a credit card to ride this train

to the next round that is... I hope.

Love Shack - better song of the two

Everybody Wants To Rule The World - tough choice, but Tears For Fears just edges it

Let's Dance - only because there's a question mark over whether Another Brick should even be eligible

Heaven Is A Place On Earth - both songs are class, but Belinda Carlisle is easily the better of the two

Mam of 4

Ultravox - never fails to catch me ,

Cyndi Lauper- one of her best songs imo,

David Bowie - class song and video

Kenny Loggins - Upbeat , makes me smile

#21 - Vienna

#22 - Everybody Wants To Rule The World

#23 - Close call but will go for Let's Dance, partly since Another Brick in the Wall has had its integrity questioned!

#24 - Heaven Is A Place On Earth, although tbh I wouldn't have put either of these this far in the competition.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I'm right there with you. Want To Break Free isn't even a good Queen song. Has no business knocking out Don't You Forget About Me - that one should've been a walk in the park for Simple Minds...
