    #15 - Tough one as I like both, but I'll vote for Atomic as the one I'm more likely to listen to on a regular basis (although Call Me is the superior Blondie track!)

    #16 - Neither of these do much for me but I'll go for Bon Jovi here - of their two songs in this thread I prefer You Give Live a Bad Name to Livin' on a Prayer.

    My votes:
    Tears for Fears - Everybody etc. - great tune.
    Cutting Crew - I Just Died etc. - classic 80s mid-tempo ballad.

    You're not too late for the second. The first one has been decided. EDIT: Actually someone just beat you to it for the second one! You just missed out!

    Call Me - tough enough call here, but Blondie just wins it for me by a slight margin as it just screams '80s to me that little bit more, this is the better of Bon Jovi's songs left in the comp though.

    Sweet Dreams - easily one of the best songs left in the competition, and would be a deserving winner. Livin' On a Prayer is overrated and has no business winning against Sweet Dreams, which bleeds '80s!!!

    My Votes: Blondie - Call Me. It is an okay song and is better than the Bon Jovi song in this particular case.

    Bon Jovi - Livin' on A Prayer. It is a very catchy number and has lasted better over time than Sweet Dreams.

    R4/Match 1
    Blondie - Call Me
    The much better song and also down with Bon Jovi for knocking out Cutting Crew.

    R4/Match 2
    Bon Jovi - Livin on a Prayer
    Damn it. This is a better song over Sweet Dreams. I prefer rock to pop. So much for down with Bon Jovi :rolleyes:

    #1 - Call Me
    Simply a great song - infectious and feelgood as I said in an earlier post.

    #2 - Sweet Dreams
    That synth is unmistakably '80's and I find Livin' on a Prayer a little tedious; someone talked about "wedding songs" earlier and it falls into that category for me, it's not unpleasant but I'd never actually choose to listen to it.
