    Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen Vs The Police - Wrapped Around Your Finger Please get rid of that awful Come On Eileen! :mad:

    Belinda Carlisle - Heaven is a Place on Earth Vs Guns N' Roses - Paradise City - There was a time I would not have voted for the first at all and, conversely, would have definitely voted for the second. I have mellowed towards the first and grown tired of the second! :confused:

    If it was any other John Lennon song I'd vote for it, but Woman is a truly awful song. And I definitely wouldn't be voting for Johnny Logan, that's even worse than Woman.
