    M90 - I love that Police song, but Sweet Sixteen wins out for Steve Coogan's rendition on the BBC followed straight away by "Come Out Ye Black and Tans :) )
    M91 - abstain; never heard of either
    M92 - 19 (Ha! Age-restricted video)

    As regards Show Some Concern, this was an Irish charity record by various well-known Irish performers and others associated with the entertainment industry. I think it gets shown on Reeling In The Years.

    People bought some real dross back then :(

    It hasn't changed really, the number 1s of today are pretty crap too.
    The only difference is they dropped the amount of sales you need to make it up the charts, it is much easier to chart high nowadays compared to then.

    Richard Marx Right Here Waiting Vs Chris de Burgh Missing You - Both are just about tolerable!

    Jason Donovan When You Come Back to Me Vs Men at Work Down Under - Barely tolerable - used to like it a bit more!

    Richard Marx Right Here Waiting - to get him over the line
    Mike + The Mechanics The Living Years - I like both but the Phil Collins song hasn't aged very well for me.

    The other 2 already decided - fwiw I would have voted for the winners anyway

    Richard Marx Right Here Waiting - I always thought this was a Bryan Adams number!
    George Harrison Got My Mind Set on You


    Jive Bunny: yeesh, that's a blast from the past: more of the absolute dross i was talking about earlier (not a vote for it btw, Kol)
