Keep the votes coming! This is a close one on who is getting the chop!

The lack of votes for Phyllis Nelson is DEEPLY disturbing.

It’s one of the greatest ballads of the 80s

Scratch that, EVER

I think it was Capital FM’s “The Looove Zone” slot in the 90s that completely overdid that one for me.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

God I used to love listening to Capital in the 90s when I was in London. It always so seemed so big, exciting and cosmopolitan.

Then there would be an advert for a second hand car dealership in Hounslow, which took the edge off somewhat.

I’ve never heard it

 

[funky]

Yes you have!

 

[funky]

Surely everyone knows this?

 

[lolly]

Yes you have!

It wasn't a hit in the US

 

[funky]

Oh! That’s interesting.

Sorry Joseph

 

[Madison]

I only really know it from this:

 

[lolly]

I don't dislike it by any means, but it does make me think of school discos.

 

[Joseph]

Surely everyone knows this?

Ok I’ve heard it now and I still wouldn’t vote for it

Eurythmics getting more votes than Into The Groove

I mean I'm not complaining, but even as the biggest Annie Lennox fan I don't know which I'd choose between the two

 

[Shoat]

I know Into The Groove is an objective classic and all, but it leaves me COLD

It wouldn't even make my Madge top 40

 

[Joseph]

It’s a top tier classic

 

[Vicky the Vole]

Tbh, so many of these songs are 10/10 that on another day I could have voted entirely differently.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Feargal only has 9 votes? Surprised by that, it’s a great pop song and those backing vocals are lush.

 

[Ellie]

Shocked at the lack of votes for Wham!

 

[funky]

I don’t mind that Feargal track actually, a great nostalgia song. But it was a victim of I’ve already voted for too many songs

 

[Joseph]

Shocked at the lack of votes for Wham!

Yeah that’s wild to me

It’s one of their best IMO

 

[Shirley]

If you're gonna DO IT
DO IT RIGHT BABY
DO IT WITH ME

 

[Shoat]

Forever tainted by Shane Richie I'm afraid

 

[funky]

Christmas time aside, I just don’t care for Wham
