It's just bird noises really, I came into this with an open mind, loaded them all up in a playlist and was by far the worst #4 of 1980, it got 1 point simply because it beats yodelling or convicted sex traffickers

Thank you everyone for your participation in the 80's rounds. I don't know about everyone else, but I think a number fives might be pushing it, but can give it a go if anyone's game!

I'm happy with a #5s rate.... Less happy with the low position of the fantastic 'Sexy eyes' though!

I was just looking at Everyhit expecting not to know any of the early 80's ones, but I surprisingly did!

1) Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers 8,17 As expected Sweet People a clear last place - Madness and Peter Gabriel very close at the top. Great winner imo. Totally agree. Thank you everyone for your participation in the 80's rounds. I don't know about everyone else, but I think a number fives might be pushing it, but can give it a go if anyone's game! I'd definitely be up for this. David Bowie, Roxy Music, Spandau Ballet, The Police, Kate Bush, OMD, Duran Duran, Blondie, Madness, ABC, Dexys, Captain Beaky..... All the greats, and that's just looking at 1980, 1981 and 1982.

Number 5s is good but I'd like to see us go through more of the 70s, we only did the number ones. Maybe we could have 3 rates, from the 70s, 80s and 90s?

I am happy to revisit the 1970's as I didn't finish it. The reason I didn't come back to it right now is because there has been a lot of 70's action this year, including a 70's contest that we are half way through!
I will pick up the 70's again in the new year after HF10.
