To narrow down a whole decade of music and select pick one track as the best, to the serious music lover thats the equivalent of the film 'sophies choice'

So you're saying you couldn't put one record on right now from 1980s?

It’s so difficult as there’s so many different genres I like too.

But I’ll go for Atlantic City by Bruce closely followed by Soft Cell Say hello wave goodbye

I *know* 'not best', though its personal choice. What I like is not going to be the same as other people, which is why it's fun reading threads like this.

There and to the left a bit

I could be here all night listing contenders but if I had to pick just one it would have to be from my favourite band (who coincidentally I shall be seeing twice this coming weekend at Butlins) and the biggest selling singles band of the 80s.....

......Embarassment - Madness

Possibly the finest 3 minute odd pop song with a darker meaning that you'll ever come across - has a touch of Motown, great driving brass and Suggs deadpan vocal keeping it moving

Personal favourites:

Kill your television - neds

Abacab - genesis

Market square hero's - marillion

Give a little respect - erasure

Two tribes - frankie
