Takeaways from this round:

1) I had no idea Coldplay borrowed the hook for their song "Talk" from Kraftwerk
2) TWO classics later covered by Atomic Kitten here. Why did they stop short of a third in Pass the Dutchie?
3) Was not aware the chap from Soft Cell went solo and topped the charts.
4) Sister Sledge ditching the disco sound is just upsetting
5) It's been almost 19 years since the film and *still* all I can picture when I hear 'Relax' is the attempted assassination of the Prime Minister of Malaysia in Zoolander.
6) 'A Different Corner' is so, so, so gorgeous a ballad

I had this dismissed as a weaker round but now I list off the potential winners it could be pretty close (George Michael, Black Box, Pink Floyd, Blondie, Bangles, Band Aid, Duran Duran, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Spandau Ballet and Kylie/Jason)...

Also Liz McClarnon's cover of Woman In Love which definitely isn't forgotten.

Blondie, Spandau Ballet, Kylie/Jason, Black Box, the Bangles and Frankie Goes to Hollywood go through.

Another Brick in the Wall... somehow doesn't. Not as good as that awful cheesy ballad I guess.

I voted another brick in the wall but it went to no.1 in 1979 so don't know how much it counts.

Why tf has it got so little votes though?

That was Number 1 when the 70s ended and 80s began.
