Which of these songs in the year 1979 in your view should not have been #1, I am doing polls for the whole Seventies this time, once we have 10 winners (we have to split up some years there is not enough options on a poll to match the #1's in a year plus joint winners) we will have a last poll to decide which song out of the years 1970-1979 should not have been #1.
These are 3 day polls this time.
Happy Voting

Two to choose from - one is simply annoying because of its ubiquity, and the other is pretty obscure and a total cringefest. I picked the latter.

Two really dreadful ones in that list.

I agree there are 2 to choose from. Not sure if we all agree on the same two but for me both of them were sung by solo female singers. Anita Ward isn't that good either but she isn't one of the two I was referring to.

Pretty obvious what will win this but I didn't vote for it.

I don't like the song ,but thought Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick would top the poll.
I forget who I voted for - it must've been Rhythm Stick or Another Brick In The Wall.

Have you ever heard Rhythm Stick ? It's a work of pure genius. Band as tight as a duck's orifice, wonderful piano melody, great sax break, and genuinely original lyrics.

This is why I scarcely bother with these threads. It beggars belief anyone could vote for Rhythm Stick. Ian Dury was a genius.

So Lena Martell "One Day at a Time" goes through to the decade final.
