I am re-starting this thread after a few changes to the format. This year we are expanding things from a Top 10 to a Top 20 from the year 1980 Can everyone post their 20 nominations in the thread below. Once the nominations are in I will compile the data and set up the poll for you to vote on. The only rule is your song must have featured on the UK Top 40 singles chart during 1980.Ok Del. Got it. I'll have a proper think and post the list when I'm ready
