Last week this very community declared that Steve Harley & his Cockerny Rebellion and those Swedish songsters ABBA were on equal footing as the best number one of 1975 (see below for the tie-breaker)! Your main poll action however today features the Golden Pop Year of 1986:

It's not a Paul Heaton song!!!!

He's coming on the caravan, you know.

Ewww.

It's a version of a song on which he performed. That's reason enough for me.

I would like to put him in a caravan and shoot him out into the depths of space to test his theory.

WHAT THE HELL AM I ON ABOUT ?!? I was thinking of 'Planet Caravan', which is a Black Sabbath song... and is great!

I would still like to launch Paul Heaton out into deep space.

Slap my thigh and call me General Levy, but i still think Paul Heaton has an amazing white soul voice. I spent my formative years listenign to the Housemartins when I should have been listening to The That, but even so...check out Build, or the gospel covers on tape 1 side 1 of Now That's What I Call Quite Good, which I'd check for the actual track names if builders weren't knocking chunks out of my flat right now...
