    On a geographical note I'd like to point out that Outer Mongolia isn't a country. :pac:

    I was curious myself and Googled it. You are correct, but it's close enough to modern day Mongolia so I allowed it. :D

    So just to clarify, should the top song be scored as number 1 or 10?

    Yeah I think we all had issues with this when running these :)

    Lets go with your song at the top of the list is your number 1 choice, scoring max points, or just write number 1 beside the song so everything is clear.

    Lots of classics, picking a top-10 will be very difficult.

    Youtube Music playlist, if anyone else uses that rather than Spotify...

    There's 2 songs that I've never heard before and are in my top 5!

    This is a win right there!

    I went the other way. There were two songs I thought I knew and loved, then when I listened to them I realised they're not that great :(
    Obviously I haven't listened till then for ages, I'd got an idealised memory of them in my head

    Some absolutely cracking tunes in here.

    I absolutely love the start to the Blue Monday song (had heard it before many times just in case there's an accusation of under rock living ;) )

    I might recognise them when I listen to them later, but straight off there are four songs on the list I don't know, and also the artist for one of them. Really good list though (well maybe with the exception of Wham :D), just adds greater credence to the fact that the 80s was the best decade for music.

    Can I say which one it is that I am 100% sure I have never heard?

    Yep I have to admit I don't know without listening:

    Democratic Republic Of The Congo - Suzanne Vega - Left Of Center
    Iceland - Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam - Head to Toe
    Ireland - Hall and Oats - Out of Touch
    Mexico - Journey - Be Good To Yourself
    Netherlands - Toto - Rosanna
    Outer Mongolia - Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet
    Palestine - Demolition Group - You Better Stay Alive
    South Africa - Hall and Oats - You Make My Dreams
    Wales - Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot

    Maybe I do live under a rock - was only born mid 80s so I'll blame that

    I'm sure I'll recognise the Journey and Dire Straits one once I hear them!

    There was one song I was almost certain someone would use and it wasn't. Fed up seeing it in Walruses at this point.

    Top ten was fairly easy to pick for me

    What was it? Might it be something that you Alone are fed up of seeing?

    I'm in. One surprising omission was no Frankie Goes to Hollywood, I was sure someone would have nominated probably the most 80s band there was.

    List in. Was tough to narrow it down to 10. Ended up leaving some heavy hitters, that I thought were definitely gonna be in my Top 10 when I first saw the contenders, off the list.
