Save It For Later

I changed my vote three times ("Love Will Tear Us Apart!" No, wait, "O Superman!") before finally settling on "Save It for Later." Could have easily voted for at least five others than those three, though.

(Vol. 4) Tainted Love - Soft Cell 13
(Vol. 9) Save It for Later - English Beat 17

+1

11+ of these I would strongly lean toward, often for very different reasons!

Got a real head-heart battle going on here between "O Superman" and "Head Over Heels."

something happens and i'm head over heart

Roddy gets my vote a second time.

Voted for Fascination. The Look Of Love and Head Over Heels are the runners up.

Head Over Heels is my actual #1 here but I didn't see it and voted Human League.

I thought the bridesmaid poll had better choices but obv ILM liked these tunes more. Think I’m voting for Tainted Love.

Vol13.

No bothr

I think I agree that the Bridesmaids poll had better choices. Thou this one is pretty tough too.

Tainted Love just sounded so massive at the time, and was everywhere.

Killer list but easy vote for O Superman

Which may be unfair given how different it is from the rest of the list. Cars and Warm Leatherette close behind.

Heavyweights.

O Superman vs. Warm Leatherette vs. Homosapien but it's the first of those in all truth.

Here in my car
I'm starting to think
About

fuck it, going Warm Leatherette

this list only has two "oh, fuck no"es for me. i think love will tear us apart over like, 6 songs for tied for second. i think homosapien is the one i've loved turning up to 12 the most, and save it for later feels _best song_ in so many ways.

tainted love

is "Love Will Tear Us Apart" really New Wave? i do know KROQ played it but they played every New Order single so much more.

Lot's of great tracks here but definitely Smalltown Boy.

I'm really surprised at the love for "Head Over Heels". It's alright, I guess, but not even the best New Wave song called "Head Over Heels", IMO.

Out of these I'm picking "Love Will Tear Us Apart."

WARM.
LEATHERETTE.

I'm really surprised at the love for "Head Over Heels". It's alright, I guess, but not even the best New Wave song called "Head Over Heels", IMO

IMO as well.

I'm voting for Look of Love.

Smalltown Boy but O Superman, Tainted Love and Warm Leatherette all very close.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Keep Feeling) Fascination - The Human League 22 ultimately got my vote.

After careful deliberation, my vote goes to "Save It For Later".

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Echo & The Bunnymen fanclub evaporated?

stunned that o superman didn't win

probably something to do with the britishes bank holiday

Every song got a vote, as it probably should be.
