Default TiBB's Favourite #1 of the 1980s! [Round 8]
Penultimate round now! Pick 6 of these 20.


General observations:
- A Eurovision winner here, and it wasn't an act representing the UK Germany sent Nicole to Harrogate in 1982 and emerged triumphant; Germany's first Eurovision winner. I doubt it'll bother this round much.
- If you want to take five-six minutes of your day dramatically running around your house to Bonnie Tyler's melodramabanger, no one will blame you.
- There was once a time when it was apparently possible to get Whitney Bloody Houston to record an official song for the Olympics; the 1988 Seoul ceremony was made 3000x more memorable thanks to one of her greatest ballads.
- Simple Minds might be best known for "Don't You (Forget About Me)" but at a paltry #7 chart position, it is vastly outperformed by this serene song about the Troubles.
- Awaiting post from Niamh about how little she enjoys Neil Tennant's voice in 3...2...1...
- Who will win the battle of the synthpop classics? Soft Cell or the Human League? Will they both make it through? Because they bloody well should.
- I have been dying for Kelly Marie to be a Drag Race lipsync for years, because, well, just bloody listen to it. A BANGER.

I nearly voted for Candy Girl without clicking on the link, because I'd confused it with Candy by Cameo... so naturally I instead voted for Billy Joel (yes, Uptown Girl is a bop and I won't hear otherwise)

Billy, Bonnie, Soft Cell, Human League and Wham are automatically through. Whitney and ABBA are tied for the final spot on 10, which should be enough to see both through.
