Welcome to the final, the best music act of the 80s as decided by you guys.

In a break from tradition here, we will do this final voting via PM, please do not place your vote in this thread as it will not be counted. A reason is appreciated but not neccessary. If you do give a reason, it may be posted here by me. All votes will be reveal at the end.

Please keep discussion going here but refrain from saying who you voted for.

Are nominations not closed since six? That's what it said on thread.

I'm happy enough to wait for the voting. My tastes are very mainstream. I won't be coming up with anyone 10 others didn't nominate already.

You'll regret saying that, when you see that the 20 or so of us who nominated went for all the niche and obscure songs, while none of the obvious ones get nominated...

PM Vote in, I think I have finally voted on time great game Kolido

Irish Aris

My hope was for Duran Duran to make it all the way, but I'm quite happy with the 2 finalists and either of them would be a worthy winner.

that was a very enjoyable competition, kolido you were a great host as usual!!

I wouldn't count on it. I've been slowly and cleverly converting some of the regulars around here over to some lesser known songs, via Levar-ovision

Lesser known songs accompanied by one vastly superior song whose inclusion is unfair on the others
