"No1 song of the 80s as voted by the public (channel 5) top 50
Wham..last xmas
Get fucked.. What's yours?
"
They probably did the survey in December and it was the first track that sprung to mind.
For me, it's Vienna by Ultravox. |

"Too many to choose but could come up with 50 that should be higher than Last Christmas IMHO - to be fair it's not a bad song as Christmas songs go, but best of the 80s? No chance "
Get of the fence man!! |

I really couldn't single put just one song but any of the following would be on my list...
Ghost Town - The Specials
Embarrassment - Madness
Happy Hour - The Housemartins
Temptation - New Order
Going Underground - The Jam
Rip It Up - Orange Juice
When Love Breaks Down - Prefab Sprout
Mirror In The Bathroom - The Beat
Do It Clean - Echo & The Bunnymen
Close To You - The Cure
Kick Over The Statues - The Redskins
Geno - Dexys Midnight Runners
And I could go on and on |

"You could easily name 50 superb singles from the 80s off the top of your head.
I'm not sure if you could do with any other decade."
Name one Lionel, happy new year by the way  |

To be fair I probably could for the 60s, 70s and possibly the 90s too without too much effort
I could also probably name more awful songs from the 80s than I could any other era without too much thought |

I'd struggle to name 10 from the 70s.
Every decade had shite in it..The 90s especially..the 80s only really went bad with that stock aitken Waterman shite.
Even the 80s cheese was decent.. aha.banarama.duran Duran,spandau ballet etc. |

Try the following for some absolute garbage from the 80s:
No-one Quite Like Grandma
Day Trip To Bangor
Arthur Daley E's Alright
Star Trekking
One Day At A Time Sweet Jesus
Shaddap Your Face
Add to that any of the SAW stuff, especially the relentless tide of Aussie soap stars and the likes of Nick Berry and Anita Dobson...and the 80s doesn't look quite as rose tinted.
Don't get me wrong, my musical tastes were forged in the late 70s/early 80s - I just don't think they are as great, or greater than any other era - each era has its mix of good and bad |

Every decade had some shite..The 80s only really went crap near the end of the decade, but by then you had early house.
Like someone said earlier ,its the decade you grew up in,you always remember.
But the 80s was the best

I can add to the list:
Paul Simon -Graceland
Queen
Dire Straits |

Tennent and Lowe were so fed up with some of the dirge in the charts, they got together and this track was the result. Sounds fresh even today. |

Pretenders: Brass in pocket
Blondie: Denis
Soft Cell: Tainted love
Adam and the Ants: Kings of the wild frontier
Bodysnatchers: Let’s do rock steady
I could go on and on. Love Wham but Last Christmas seems a bit of a cop out.
