Top two out in front, but only four votes between them. Could be a nailbiting 48 hours.
As the great philosopher [MENTION=448]Scotty Mac[/MENTION] once said, "choosing one of those is like picking which one of your bollocks you are going to hack off with a rusty saw"
I've gone for the two that mean the most to me and my crazy life at that time

The 80's were too painful PERIOD. As borne out by your poll results. Utterly shitty decade for music. In fact if it wasn't for the glorious inclusion of Frankie Goes To Hollywood (twice), anyone might be mistaken for thinking that the Eighties was all over by the start of 1982.

Quite ridiculous that there is no Manchester stuff there - what about New Order and Blue Monday from 1983 and then practically the whole of the debut album from the Stone Roses in 1989.

It's not the best song of the 80's though, that's a completely separate poll!

The most curious thing..
Can't you make this a public poll, so we can all see what terrible taste everyone has got?

OK - don't think I bought any singles in the 1980's - wasn't really interested in the charts - too busy sorting out my Krautrock Albums - now there is a poll!

Why isn't Break my stride by Matthew wilder in this poll? I challenge anyone to come up with a better world beater than that (with a small nod acknowledging Rat Rapping)

IS the right answer although at present it is lagging behind Going UNderground which surprises me

A winning formula doesn't need to have 'everything', it just needs to be good, which is why Going Underground is winning.
If 'having everything' were a measure of musical greatness, that would make MacArthur Park by Richard Harris the best song of all time.

Bowie again for me, love long intros and outros and is a class song.

Some of us managed to get hold of it too. After it was also banned. It felt really naughty- like when we first saw the video to Duran Duran's 'Girls On Film'.
