There are simply too many choices!!

I think that, in retrospect, the 80s probably had the greatest selection of pop. You could have 'deep meaningful synth-pop', 'tabloid titty-lation pop' and 'bizarre Germanic beat-pop' all in the space of the top five! *writes wearing rose tinted goggles*

Oh and New Order - Blue Monday is probably my fave.... probably.....

Visage - Fade To Grey. Not sure if it is my favourite but I was listening to it yesterday and thought maybe it is.

I said video killed the radio star was the first song played on MTV.

Then they took my quote and twisted it. Does someone in here work for a tabloid? LOL
