The number 3'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 #3 of 1985. I'll probably leave it open for a few months, to make sure we get everyone's votes.
n.b. Where the single is listed as a double A side, I have gone for the "lead" of the two.

07 Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? {1985 - Deducted 2 points for being already including as a 1984 UK #1} Yeah, I know. I toyed with the idea of excluding it.

It's a genuine #3 of 1985 so should be included.
I don't agree with docking it points for that reason. Either you think it's a 9 or not

I've always known the title "See The Day" by Dee C Lee but never knew it was that song lol. Some great 80s staples there, but some boring duds as well.

Not sure Band Aid really belongs here but you may have included other re-issues that peaked higher originally. It isn't a new version it's just a re-issue of the 1984 release.

I couldn't remember if I had or not included one twice due to a reissue, so kept it anyway. Interesting to see if it gets roughly the same score!

Either you think it's a 9 or not I'm merely being consistent with what I have done in other equivalent threads. As it was the last UK #1 of 1984 I gave my 9 points then. As it is a reissue it is not a genuine 1985 UK #3 hit, hence the 2 points penalty.
