[Goldstone Rapper]

The Style Council - 'Money Go Round' was like a socialist manifesto you can dance to. How the seven minute version didn't bring down Thatcher, I'll never know. Incredible track.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Wow! Some great songs.......

 

[Rambo]

You could say 90% of that Top 40 are quality songs with most still known today, could you say that about the current Top 40 or in fact anything over the past 15 years?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

And some absolute crap. Modern Romance, good grief!

 

[Return of the Rev]

[hans kraay fan club]

Amazing that Blue Monday is that old, and how well it has dated, compared to the rest of that list.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Well, this hasn't dated at all either. Still cutting edge musically and sartorially, still relevant social commentary

 

[Pevenseagull]

Now That's What I Call a top 40

 

[Leighgull]

I see Man Utd's FA cup song was sitting at no. 15.

 

[Seagulls over Essex]

It's amazing how numbers 2, 3 and 4 are still considered classics after all these years

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

The Style Council - 'Money Go Round' was like a socialist manifesto you can dance to. How the seven minute version didn't bring down Thatcher, I'll never know. Incredible track.

Very much this, excellent stuff

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

And some absolute crap. Modern Romance, good grief!

Loved all the modern romance stuff.....

 

[portlock seagull]

Have to agree, that's some top 40 compared to today's. Numbers in the 30s positions probably sell more than a no.1 today. And yes, so many ate still frequently played today. Doubt that will be so with today's in 2040!

STOOL PIGEON, ah ta ta taaa!!
