    #49 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
    #50 - Everytime You Go Away (love Fleetwood Mac but Everywhere is not one of their best)
    #51 - Seven Seas (never been too fond of The Clash, though I'd probably opt for Rock the Casbah if it was here)
    #52 - Tainted Love, by a whisker

    U2 - Sunday, Bloody Sunday – It’s just okay. It has not stood the test of time but still much better than below so: My Vote.

    vs

    Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf

    R1/Match 50


    Paul Young - Everytime You Go Away – Good soul vibe but just pipped by below.

    vs

    Fleetwood Mac – Everywhere – Nice tune. My Vote.

    R1/Match 51


    The Clash - Should I Stay Or Should I Go - Great punky vibe. My Vote.

    vs

    Echo & the Bunnymen - Seven Seas – Not one of their better ones.

    R1/Match 52


    Soft Cell - Tainted Love - It’s okay, but…

    vs

    Hall & Oates – Maneater- Great 80s AOR tune. My Vote.

    Gonna vote Paul Young in the second clash.

    I really really hate Bono. Like a lot.

    But... Sunday, Bloody Sunday is the better of the two songs.

    Ouch, some very tough ones here. :(

    #53 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (not U2's best, but then the other isn't Cyndi Lauper's best either)
    #54 - Close to Me - the travesty of Just Like Heaven being knocked out so early means we need this one to stay in!
    #55 - Love both but Dancing In the Dark just about pips it.
    #56 - Just Like Honey (kudos to whoever nominated this!)

    Love Is a Battlefield

    Fight For Your Right

    Reasons: First 3 matches here were all very difficult to decide, as all the songs are great, while the last one was an obvious choice.
