    Human League, Mirror Man but very hard to think what anything by Human League wouldn’t beat.
    Kylie, Locomotion. Neither are fantastic, in my opinion.

    Status Quo In the Army Now. Fun fact, the original version was sung by a Dutch duo called Bolland & Bolland, who co-wrote Rock Me Amadeus, which destroyed Enya in an earlier round. :)

    From what's gone ahead so far, I would definitely be of the opinion that most of the music I liked in the 80s did not make it to number one. :pac:

    Yeah probably me too. I was more of a shoe gazer. Cure, Smiths, The The etc.
    But now that I'm older I appreciate the cheese for the happy boppy tunes they were :D

    I think the majority of my favourite 80s tunes did not get a sniff at Number One in either the UK or Ireland. :D There are some honourable exceptions of course!

    Some Cure. Definitely The Smiths and The The. Loved (still do) New Order. Some random acts from the 80s (with an eye on the charts): Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, Suzanne Vega, Frankie goes To Hollywood (some of their stuff anyway), Imagination, The Cult, The Mission and ....wait for it: Johnny Hates Jazz!

    Depeche Mode for sure and, like New Order, I did not stop at the 1980s. Echo & The Bunnymen had a few gems too.

    Neil Hole in My Shoe. I actually bought this. I was very drunk at the time. So drunk that straight after my friend and I went to see Beverly Hills Cop and I struggled to understand the plot. :D. Oh, and this all happened at about 2 in the afternoon. Sometimes afternoon drinking can really get out of hand!
