    Smalltown Boy - if it was up against a better Bryan Adams song, would be a different story.

    Karma Chameleon - great song, and I don't really understand all the love for Vienna, which is pretty meh in my opinion.

    Bronski beat - love this tune

    Ultravox - classic and I nominated it.

    I'd say neither should be progressing tbh this is about far enough but gotta choose one


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,031 ✭✭✭Declan A Walsh


    Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy - classic.

    Ultra Vox - Vienna - It's okay and just pips the other

    It just sounds like something that gets thrown on at a wedding and people lose their shít over because they know the words or something, but I only vaguely remember hearing it once or twice prior to this comp - others here clearly have some sort of attachment to it that I'm missing. Anyway, looks like it'll live to fight another round anyway, but there are far more worthy winners in the mix.

    I think it's one of the best song still here. Fun fact, it was voted the best song to peak at no 2 in the uk charts in a poll collected back in 2012.

    I love the song Vienna and the video is real 80s escapist stuff. I would have thought Karma Chameleon would be your more classic DJ wedding-type material.

    Everybody Wants To Rule The World - worthiest of the two, although both great songs.

    (I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight - again I like both here, but Cutting Crew is one I associate most with the '80s.
