Default TiBB's Favourite #1 of the 1980s! [Round 7]
Three more rounds of the first stage remain, so I'll post them in one big trio rather than eke out a solo round at the end for no reason. This'll take a while. Bloody Youtube links. Pick your favourite six of these twenty!


General observations:
- I nearly discounted the Spinners' cover at the bottom of the list because I assumed they were a band from the 50s who had later success like Jackie Wilson, but it turns out this was recorded and released in the latter end of 1979 before charting in April 1980, so that's fair.
- Bowie will probably struggle to qualify here... there's some big camp bangers here in Irene Cara, Kylie, Berlin, Diana and Tiffany, and then there's Foreigner I wouldn't rule out Men at Work or The Jam here either.
- MARRS is probably the most contemporary-sounding offering here, so maybe that'll give them a leg up on the competition. Genuinely assumed that was a 90s song.

This round is so hard...

Pump up the volume seemed to be the sound track of the 80s but it did not hold up over time lol.

David Bowie I love more today than I did back then and is something I listen to now

Irene Carr is serving my dance moves from the 80s for sure

I love Men at Work... but I love Colin Hay in his solo work as well.

The best stalker song of all time can't be left off

Tiffany is a Canadian icon so can't be missed...

Spirit in the Sky we just had on the playlist for last weekends bonfire/bbq in the yard

And you can't leave off 80s power ballads from Foreigner or Berlin

Urgh

Round closed. Kylie is out Police, Jam, Diana, Irene and Tiffany go through. Bowie and Berlin tie for the 6th spot, but with 10 votes apiece, both are likely through to the QFs whether qualifying automatically or as "the best loser".

I voted probably too late and it doesn’t affect the vote, but those two now have 11 votes I guess if it is to be counted
