Most of my listeining is to music from the 80s - wot a decade -so these songs would appear in my all-time top five!
1. "You Spin Me Round" Dead Or Alive 2. "Ride On Time" Black Box 3. "Making Your Mind Up" Bucks Fizz 4. "I Should Be So Lucky" Kylie Finding a 5th would be veyr difficult so I'll leave it at 4 - there's be a lot of joint 5ths although Karma Khamelion would be in with a vERY good shout! There was so much fab stuff around - especially the trash. Trash = the 1980s! Oh, and "There She Goes" by the LAs is from 1990. |

In fact. I'd put Super Trouper in at 4 - therefore making it
1. You Spin Me Round 2. Ride On Time 3. Making Your Mind Up 4. Super Trouper 5. I Should Be So Lucky Working out a Top5 or Top 10 of fave songs is sooo difficult! |

Any Depeche Mode from the 80's or early 90's goes down as a classic IMO especially People Are People, A Question of Lust, Master and Servant and Stripped -Cor, pervy lot weren't they!!
