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. |

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
