In between speculation linking us with Carlos Kickaball from Yokomato Dragons for £8 million and awaiting the fixtures, we need something to bring NSC #Together once more.

I therefore give you the opportunity to decide on the DEFINITIVE best number 1 UK song of the 80's, as I too am bored silly. There are 191 to narrow down.

Please vote for up to THREE songs from each list. The top TWO songs will go through to the next round.

A mention to the brilliant 'That's Entertainment'. The Jam awkwardly didn't release this as a UK single, so the import sold massively.

The Jam has stood the test of time better, but Geno was truly ground breaking back in the day.

Bunked off school to get Going Underground from Virgin in Queens Road on the day it came out so that wins it for me.
Atomic (and Heart of Glass) were Blondie at the peak of their power.

Bit harsh to have two Blondie tracks in the same round.

A long way to go, I know, but I can only see this developing into a struggle between Glenn Medeiros and Rick Astley.
