    You guys are intent on murdering all the rock songs :(

    It'll be interesting to see what great eighties songs no one has nominated.

    I was gonna nominate Master Of Puppets (yes, it was released as a single) but then realized it would probably be thrashed 6-nil by the A-Ha fanclub so didn't bother!

    I would have voted for it, I'd prefer it to One, which was nominated.

    We did that drinking game back in the day Necro.

    Actually had 2 bottles.

    Left hand Roxanne, right hand Red Light.

    Got messy very fast.

    I actually don't mind Roxanne (prefer it to the Police songs in this thread anyway) but all I have here to drink is water, so it won't so much cheer me up as make me have to pee constantly.

    Bonnie Tyler, classic power ballad also power of love masquerading as a Christmas song always annoyed me

    If I'm counting correctly Bronski Beat vs The Waterboys is now 5-5 so next vote wins.

    Pink Floyd, Bonnie Tyler and Ultravox are all through.
