As a great fan of the UK Top 40 in the eighties, I can remember exact 3 songs of this "Top" 30: - #30 Nicole, because as a German, I certainly remember Germany's first ESC victory, - #28 Dave Steward / Barbara Gaskin, because I liked this song very much, - #21 Neil, because this song was so incredibly weird.
A few categories stand out here: Forgotten follow ups to a song that's more remembered e.g Liquid Gold, Pepsi & Shirley and D-Mob. Covers where most people would prefer to hear the original e g. Dollar, Martin Webb, Trevor Walters.
The Dave Stewart/Barbara Gaskin record was a No 1

Oops - Marti Webb.
Not surprised.
Oh dear Modern Romance have 2 entries in this list.Still some decent songs in here.
Why is this billed as a quiz?
Top ten on what list? I know 80s music pretty well but have heard of none of these songs.
They did make the UK Top 10 in the 80s. I never cared for many of these,but think there's a handful in there that deserve better.
