I Love #1s - 1983

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Last time on the #1 polls, 2002 saw the battle of the girlbands, with Sugababes narrowly pipping Gels Alahd to the post, with Freak Like Me getting a massive 41 ticks. Now dudes, its time to rewind twenty years - oh man, I've been looking forward to this year for ages. Boyband FITES! Yazoo covers getting the wobs top spot! Dave Bow-tie rescuing his career! Put your hands up for 1983!

[Poll #977180]

Argh sorry dudes, managed to post this twice. Re-tick pls!

Nearly ticked 'Every Breath You Take' but prefer Puff and Faith's version so no.

Please tell me that 'You Can't Hurry Love' is not P Collins desecrating the Supremes.

Alas it is.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's not that bad, really.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Yes but you liked the Futureheads desecrating Our K8 as well.

:) quite pleased to be remembered

even if only in a negative sense ("This is one of the ones we should burn at the stake first :)")

No, it's really not bad at all, Lex. Quite faithful to the Motown sound.

Mind you, I liked Phil Collins anyway at this point in time. His first two solo albums are - genuinely - GREAT and GOOD respectively. He went downhill after that, though.

I think the idea of P Collins being faithful to the Motown sound is actually even more repellent...

Have you actually heard it? It's quite good you know.

I ticked it bcs it is one of the first 3 songs that I ever remember hearing and singing along to, and I didn't KNOW what a cvnt P Collins was at the time (being only 6).
