1. Don't Stand So Close To Me - The Police (1980)

6. Head Over Heels - Tears For Fears

I missed the special 80s ten, and these would have been my nominations, so I'm really happy they made the regular ten

[Liberal]

Gloria might of made it to some higher slot. I have a standard that I listen to all nominees before voting.
