Ashes to Ashes is one of the greatest songs of all time.

These polls just serve to summarise what a dearth of decent music there was in the 80s

A dearth of decent number ones, I would counter. Look through the charts throughout the first half of the 1980s and I think you'd see there were many great bands and artists. Number one hits don't give a clear picture.

The winner takes it all.

I'm sure some people will vote Bowie because they are TOO SCARED to admit that ABBA's BANGER should take this round.
