80's cd prop bet

[Ginger]

Kev's starts with some promise, but then aliens take over his body. 87, 88 and 89 are shocking choices!  82 and 84... hmmmmm    , 85 the less said about that the better. 

Bring back the real Kev with good music taste!

[Colchester Kev]

Sigh ... its a competition , it has to appeal to a wide choice of punters ... my selections reflect that.


Its not lets do a CD of OUR PERSONAL 80's fav's ... its a CD which will be a commercial success in the OP's prop bet.

[action man]

might have to put a squueze number in there also.

Kev, it's naff and you know it, don't try to sell Tiffany as a mass draw for the 80's!

[Colchester Kev]

[Tractor]

Kev, it's naff and you know it, don't try to sell Tiffany as a mass draw for the 80's!

have to confess it was one of the first songs I thought of - it's just so very 80s and it's one of those that when it comes on at a disco I have to get up and dance.  Please note, however, that I stopped short of posting it on the thread!!

Exactly, because although we all remember it from back then (and have some rather embarrassing memories...) , it hasn't really stood the test of time.
