    M1 - Nena. I have a grá for this one, probably since learning it in German back in secondary school
    M2 - Bad
    M3 - The Singing Priest (Communards)
    M4 - Moonlight Shadow; another guilty secret from that era

    :D

    You mean of course the Rev. Richard Coles, the keyboard player, not Jimmy Somervllle, the singer. Who would have thought that the former is the one who are you more likely to see/hear on tv and radio these days!

    M5 - Walk of Life. Definitely a step too far for Jack here.
    M6 - Star Trekkin. Love it; don't care if it's a novelty song against an Irish rock classic.
    M7 - Queen. Very tough, but Queen have woefully few number 1s, so have to back them on this.
    M8 - Bonnie Tyler. Definition of 80s power ballad stuff.
