The number 2's from 1985
Please rate the following out of 10. If you don't know a song, please look it up on Youtube before voting.
I'll tot the scores up at the end to see which is Havens favourite #2 of 1985. I'll probably leave it open for a couple of months or so, to make sure we get everyones votes.
n.b. Where the single is listed as a double A side, I have gone for the "lead" of the two.

The original version of Axel-F wasn't that bad... however there are no very poor singles on this list and perhaps that is just the least good in some people's opinions.
8 Prince - 1999 7 King - Love And Pride 8 Alison Moyet - That Ole Devil Called Love 9 Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasure Dome 10 Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World 6 Duran Duran - A View To A Kill 10 Marillion - Kayleigh 6 Madonna - Crazy For You 5 Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F 4 Madonna - Holiday 9 Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out For A Hero 9 A-Ha - Take On Me

For what I think of as a fairly mediocre year (in the midst of a stretch of similarly mediocre years) for pop music, this is a really rather strong set of songs!
07 - Prince - 1999 08 - King - Love And Pride 06- Alison Moyet - That Ole Devil Called Love 03 - Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasure Dome 08 - Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World 07 - Duran Duran - A View To A Kill 08 - Marillion - Kayleigh 08 - Madonna - Crazy For You 08 - Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F 07 - Madonna - Holiday 07 - Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out For A Hero 08 - A-Ha - Take On Me
Really disappointed to give one of my lower scores to probably my favourite artist overall on the list (my fellow Essex compatriot Alf, not Frankie!), but, well, she did very much better on other occasions.

* very useful as a chat-up line; if a girl says her name is Kayleigh, and she looks mid-20s, ask her if she was born in 1985 or 1986...
