Well I took a different approach then you Brian, Here are 5 great songs that I think have a chance to be on the list;
1) Farytale of New York - Pogues
2) With or without you -Ubiquitous 2
3) Comfortably Numb (OK Dec 79, but dominated the 80's)- Pink Floyd
4) Fall on Me - REM
5) Fishermans Blues -Waterboys
6) Ashes to Ashes - Bowie
Sorry Brian one extra just to piss you off....
