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

    Tougher call but much prefer the Jam and this ditty to Joy Division.

    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

    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.

    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... :(
