    #1 Dancing in the Dark - great catchy song that holds up better on repeated listens than Take on Me, which I find myself getting a bit tired of after a while. Bruce's baritone is easier on the ears than that Take on Me falsetto.

    #2 Birdhouse In Your Soul - I imagine I'll be in the minority here but I just prefer this kooky weird feelgood number over a song that's perfectly listenable but doesn't really make me feel anything. Also Mr Clash should clearly Go if the resultant trouble is only half that of Staying, so the whole premise of the song is flawed to begin with. :rolleyes:

    Dancing in the Dark - a) It's The Boss; and b) It's not A-ha.

    Should I Stay or Should I Go - One of my nominations and The Clash are awesome.

    Under Pressure - tough call, but Under Pressurr just clinches it for me.

    Call Me - very close here as well, but more likely to throw this one on more regularly.

    I listened to both Dancing In The Dark and Take On Me just now and I'm not a big fan of either. My vote goes to....


































    Dancing In The Dark! Sorry Mam Of 4.

    #3 Let's Dance - we have enough Queen, let Bowie stand alone!

    #4 Call Me - simply a fantastic, infectious, feelgood song.

    Blondie (Call Me) v Bangles (Manic Monday) - I will vote for Call Me because it is a better song.

    Livin' On a Prayer - it's a classic, and not mad about the other song.

    White Wedding - potential overall winner for me, and we've enough bloody Queen already.
