"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?! Wink

If I make it to a nursing home it has to be one that plays 80s muusic., mainly British.

I'm not saying I agree with it:

But the song of the 80's, empirically, is 'Do They Know It's Christmas.'

Marianne is the first track i heard by Sisters Of Mercy. I was in a dingy market in Kensington and that hypnotic bass line started vibrating through the place at about 100 decibels. I asked a stall holder if they knew the track and they told me what it was. I went and bought the album there and then :) Marianne and This Corrosion take me waaaaay back Grin

Memories of The Cult: saw them lots live - then saw them towards the end of the 80s and Ian had put on so much weight we (the crowd) had to do 80% of his vocals. Heartbreaking!! :(

You DO know that unless you are high up in the sky you cannot see the Serengeti from Kilimanjaro? I therefore despite it being the best song of the 80s because it is geographically inaccurate.

Tanith - no not Ghost Town. Too Much Too Young is the best Specials song.
