24 Baby You're Dynamite - Cliff Richard
Now surely this classes as a really dodgy Cliff single, its not soppy or oid fashioned which is a good thing but it is just too cheesy for me. Yes I know I am hard to please with Cliff songs.

23 San Damiano - Sal Solo
At last something from a new act shame its this dodgy project from Sal Solo, which got shoved down our faces on Saturday Superstore. Thankfully Christian pop isn't something that took off in any big way in the UK.

22 Let It All Blow - Dazz Band
Now its a song that I was never sure if I liked it or not. Its a bit Art Of Noise which is a good thing but its also a quite annoying but at least its trying to do something new. A curio maybe rather than a bad track just not something I would ever choose to listen to.

21 Madam Butterfly (Un Bel Di Vedremo) - Malcolm McLaren
Same really applies to this, its pretty creative I guess but the appeal goes right over my head. Just not for me.

20 Passengers - Elton John
Now this is defintely a category one song. I have had no Elton in the list at all although a couple were close to making the lists. But this one I have disliked since the first day I heard it. It has also been a permenent ear worm, I still sing this in random moments 38 years later, why!! What did this song to to me. I never knew what the song was even called until the internet age where I finally managed to find out what that 'Ahwalla get on' song was.

18 Cool It Now - New Edition
Ok from now on the standard really drops and we still have some big names to come along with the novelties. The Uk quite rightly ignored this. I wish I had.

17 Police Officer - Smiley Culture
I quite liked Smiley Culture at the time, he was probably our Fresh Prince but it hasn't aged well and I really dont get it now, i'm afraid.

15 Apollo 9 - Adam Ant
What I said in 1983 again, the songs are just no good now. A sad decline.

14 Farewell My Summer Love - Michael Jackson
I said there was some big names, I just never liked this again I know he has his fans here but in 1984 we and he had moved on, no need for this to be issued.

13 Where Is My Man - Eartha Kitt
I just can't stand Eartha Kitt, I think she is very marmite and this is definitely not one of her better ones.

12 When You're Young and in Love - The Flying Pickets
The last few minutes of their 15, thank goodness. This is maybe worse than 'Only You' but thankfully it hardly got played

11 The War Song - Culture Club
I hovered over 'Karma Chameleon' but didnt add it to my list not that it would have been the top 50 but this I always didnt like this one and I probably dislike it more now.Yes 'War Is Stupid' but thats all I need to know.

10 I Feel Like Buddy Holly - Alvin Stardust

9 Obscene Phone Caller - Rockwell
Always had a special place in my heart for 'Somebody watching Me' but can he repeat the same magic, The answer a very big no. Showing that the real talent was the MJ guest spot, this is almost unlistenable. UK right again to ignore this.

7 I Just Called To Say I Love You - Stevie Wonder
Anyone surprised I have included this category 1 song, probably not. Just never liked it. If you dont like a number one at the time it is always hard to get over it. Its just not for me, like the next song.

6 Hello - Lionel Richie
See my comments below, I just about could handle the song on the radio but I just found the video way too creepy, again 13 year old me takes over. This song will always be one of those for me that I will never like.
