    There are lots of bands I was sure would be in it but aren't. Bryan Adams, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith & Run DMC to name a few. No Thin Lizzy or solo Phillo either.

    There's a reason for those examples not featuring. They all had hits in the Irish Charts, but none of them had Number 1 singles in the Irish Charts during the 1980s!

    Which is quite a suprise when you see some of the garbage that did reach no. 1!

    Maybe, in the future. someone else could have a Boardsies Greatest Irish No. 2 of the 80s tournament, and maybe someone else could have a Boardsies Greatest Irish No. 3 of the 80s tournament! Just throwing it out there! :)
