    I for one don't know any other of their songs.

    Atmosphere was their other hit single. It does get the very odd airplay.

    In relation to other songs (not hits), there is a much played performance of them on the BBC. You will find it on Youtube, where they perform Transmission and She's Lost Control. You should listen to the tracks off their second album Closer, such as Decades and The Eternal.

    Nena, because out of all the last 8, the only one I'd not really like winning is The Buzzcocks.

    Will wait to make a decision on the other.

    QF3

    The Safety Dance. It's great fun and I just find Baker Street very tedious.

    QF4

    Ah crap, now I know how Meryl Streep felt in Sophie's Choice. :D

    I'll go with Ever Fallen in Love, although on another night I could easily have chosen Nena.

    Baker Street - its a David vs Goliath type showdown and in this instance Goliath wins.

    Ever Fallen In Love - extremely tough call, love them both, but love this one just a little bit more.

    The Safety Dance as if a pile of sh!te like Save Tonight, which sounds like it was written by a five year old, can make it to the semi finals, why not Men Without Hats

    Second one is a toughie, but Ever Fallen in Love is such a good song, it gets my vote

    QF Match 3 - Gerry Raferty - Baker Street.

    QF Match 4 - The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love

    Some of these match ups have the feel on voting on which was your favourite of two exes when you still have a lot of time for them both.
