If I stop and thing for 30 minutes, it will keep changing.

OK. I've reached the same conclusion as you. As of 16:55, my choices are:

Emma's House - The Field Mice
Destroy The Heart - House of Love
Good Life - Inner City
Purple Rain - Prince & The Revolution
Therese - The Bodines

Was this meant to be UK singles only?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Song to the Siren - This Mortal Coil
Temptation - New Order
Atmosphere - Joy Division
Love like Blood - Killing Joke
Bleed for Me - Dead Kennedys

Therese was the very last track I listened to, as it goes. On the NME C86 thing, at lunchtime.

(Just prefer 'Heard it all' if the truth be told)


I've changed my mind. It Happens, by Primal Scream needs to be in there. LWTUA misses out.

Yeah, I've changed my mind now too. Probably best not to think about it again.

 

[Trufflehound]

The Cure - Boys Don't Cry

Was remixed (poorly) and re-released in the 80s, but the original 7" version (b/w Plastic Passion) was 1979.
