Please nominate your 10 favourite Eighties songs here ;D When we have enough, I'll stick em altogether in one big block and you will rank em out of 10, I will then tot up the scores and average em all out, and find our winner, or put the top 10 to an individual poll... Cheers, choose wisely, if someone has already chosen one of your songs, try to choose a diff one as a song does not need 2 noms to be entered, just the one...Do try and choose songs that everyone else will know as we are relying on their scores after all... Thanks.

You can't have an 80s chart without the great man taking part. These should make the chart interesting.
Rock me Amadeus - Falco Atomic - Blondie Blue Monday - New Order New Years Day - U2 Road to Nowhere - Talking Heads 1999 - Prince Dignity - Deacon Blue Gloria - Laura Branigan Baggy Trousers - Madness I'm gonna be (500 miles) - The Proclaimers

Here's a few that haven't been mentioned that I remember fondly
2 Tribes - Franky Goes to Hollywood Tainted Love - Soft Cell (i think) Girlfriend is a Centerfold - J. Geils
I'll stop there for now... anything else I can think of is far to weird...
