1985
R&B - I'd have put Dare Me #1, Abrams is a tad overplayed, but still good. The other eight I either don't know (most) or am not very fond (DC Lee, Five Starr, Oh Sheila).
New Wave / Pop / Rock - weird choice for #1!!! Good song, though, but I prefer the songs off The Raw And The Cooked more. All the others are good, Waterboys being my favourite by a country mile.
Obscure album - I NH the whole album, but remember the main singles off it and I liked them both. Also, do you recall the early 90s MTV Europe' Greatest Hits show? Paul was the VJ.
Legendary artists - nothing to argue here. Big wooo for including that underrated Phil song, one of my favs from him.
Classic tunes - all classic indeed! Huge wooo for the top 2.
Hi-NRG - wow, we have a lot in common as far as 80s taste goes! Really happy to see the excellent and massively underrated They Say It' Gonna Rain!! Fancy is superb, too, his best by miles IMO.
Will look at the earlier years soon!
Unban Misha, bring back John and Dan and tell all stans to go to hell
