TwistedElegance™ Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Back by popular demand! If you're new to the game or need a refresher, it works like this ----> Listed below are all the songs from each respective year of the '80s which reached the Top 5 of Billboard's Hot 100. Your mission is to whittle them down to a shortlist and ultimately determine a winner for that year. Eliminations are held at least once every 24 hours. A couple of changes to the game... Firstly I am introducing a vote-off/save system so when you cast your vote you can also cast to save, however the save vote is optional. Secondly I will not be participating in this series since it was a point of contention during '90s Survivor and I'd like to try my hand at just being the host, so it's over to you guys. Have fun! 1980 Note: For this round you can vote up to three off and opt to save one. List of songs (in alphabetical order): Against The Wind - Bob Seger All Out Of Love - Air Supply Another Brick In The Wall (Part II) - Pink Floyd Another One Bites The Dust - Queen Biggest Part Of Me - Ambrosia Call Me - Blondie Coming Up (Live At Glasgow) - Paul McCartney & Wings Coward Of The County - Kenny Rogers Cupid/I've Loved You For a Long Time - The Spinners Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen Cruisin' - Smokey Robinson Desire - Andy Gibb Do That To Me One More Time - Captain & Tenille Don't Fall In Love With a Dreamer - Kenny Rogers & Kim Carnes Drivin' My Life Away - Eddie Rabbitt Emotional Rescue - The Rolling Stones Escape (The Pina Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes Fame - Irene Cara Funkytown - Lipps, Inc.
