To assert that "Africa" is the best song of the 80's...

[Rebeccaslicker]

"live forever" is the best song of the 90's; "mr bright side" is the best of the 00's and "get lucky" is the best of the 20-teens.

What have you got for second place?!

Rufus and Chaka khan ain't nobody

Wham Rap. I know all the words. Actually I know all the words to Wham songs. I wanted to be Shirlie.

But how about GM and Aretha Franklin 'I Knew you were Waiting for Me', that's a tune!

Nah, sorry, just making it 80’s (written 79 but released 80), it’s definitely
Love Will Tear Us Apart
Joy Division

90s - No Doubt (Gwen Stefani) - Don't Speak
00s - Rihanna - Umbrella
10s - Bruno Mars, Uptown Funk

True Faith - New Order
This Corrosion - Sisters of Mercy

If we're talking George n Andrew, it has to be Young Guns. Or maybe Everything She Wants.

All of the Spice Girls' first album is stolen from the Wham back catalogue.

Don't sully this thread with talk of the Spice Girls. Shudder.

Club Tropicana?

Oooh Laiste I’m listening to This Corrosion now!
And a bit of The Cult (Ian Astbury....swoon)

Karma Chameleon - obvs

If it's Culture Club that would be 'Victims'.

Club Tropicana is one of the greatest songs ever written (I would never have admitted this in my indie kid phase 20 years ago).

I remember listening to The Holy Bible (Manic Street Preachers) in my room at uni and my friend rocking up with her Wham best-of. Needless to say we got pissed and danced to Wham instead.

Dead or Alive - you spin me round is brilliant imo
