Save It For Later
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 24 May 2018 00:35 (five years ago) link
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.

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."

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.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 24 May 2018 16:36 (five years ago) link
Tainted Love just sounded so massive at the time, and was everywhere.
― campreverb, Thursday, 24 May 2018 17:08 (five years ago) link
Killer list but easy vote for O Superman
― flappy bird, Thursday, 24 May 2018 17:12 (five years ago) link
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.

fuck it, going Warm Leatherette
― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Friday, 25 May 2018 18:40 (five years ago) link
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
― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 25 May 2018 21:21 (five years ago) link
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.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 26 May 2018 01:21 (five years ago) link
Lot's of great tracks here but definitely Smalltown Boy.
― daavid, Saturday, 26 May 2018 03:14 (five years ago) link
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.
― daavid, Saturday, 26 May 2018 03:18 (five years ago) link
Out of these I'm picking "Love Will Tear Us Apart."

IMO as well.
I'm voting for Look of Love.

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

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