    Glad you like Stand & Deliver too. :) AntMusic didn't make no 1 though. :( Mind you, my 2nd favourite Ant song is Young Parisians. ;-)

    Hello again. My favourite A&TA's single is Cartrouble.

    I will sneak Call Me into next poll and mention it in the intro as to why. Maybe it will pull a few votes. Can't bear The Tide Is High - much prefer Rapture.

    So am I. I imagined Ashes To Ashes would win hands down.

    David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes
    Atomic, Winner Takes It All and Ashes To Ashes for me. The only ones I don't like there are Kenny Rogers and Barbra Streisand; even Johnny Logan and St Winifred's School Choir are bearable if only for nostalgic reasons. Makes you realise just how much chart music has died a death in recent years.

    David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes
    I like most of the songs listed. I eventually selected Atomic, Ashes To Ashes, and Xanadu.

    John Lennon - (Just Like) Starting Over
    I voted for John Lennon - Starting Over.

    The song had only been released before his untimely death in December 1980.
    I think he is the first singer I remember hearing had died and I was only 10 at the time

    Thank you. Poll closes Friday so results to be announced, top three songs through to the final, year 1981 to be posted Saturday including Blondie's 'Call Me' - a glaring omission from 1980 poll.

    Excellent news!

    Those three are all excellent songs imo. Chart music really was much better back then (imo again, of course).
