While I love "West End Girls" I really would query that top ranking.

And some seem to me fairly lowly, The Jam only at 40?

And I find the Bowie choice of Lets Dance a trifle odd given that Space Oddity is an option.

I know it's personal taste and subjective but still comes across as a little contrary.

Yep, I struggle with the number 1 for West End Girls, I would have been happy with almost any of the others in the top ten.

It's wrong. By law Bohemian Rhapsody is always number one in these polls. The instigators should be rounded up and incarcerated.

I think a Stewards Enquiry is called for.

Roy Orbison at #96 yet T Rex are at #21 - sacrilege, no 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me' by the Divine Dusty and yet, surprisingly, ABBA are included but not The Wurzels, and Dead or Alive are there but not Telly Savalas!

I rest my case.
