i meant for this poll to end on 11/11, meaning tomorrow in my time, not "today" in the rest of the world's time.

Damn, I missed this poll. I just got Basia on mp3. My little sister had it in high school....I have to go with Basia here.

Intro of Breakout sure sounds like West End Girls. Missed the poll, but I'm with the sister

Corinne Drewery's vocals on the chorus of this ACR track are lovely. I think, making a rather starchy funk tune something quite special, esp towards the fade.

So weird that these were the options in this poll I've never seen before, because I've been volleying these songs back and forth on Spotify for a good part of the past hour.

I listen to way more Basia than is in any way defensible.

Latest Swing Out Sister album is a pretty decent slice of sophistipop.

Something tells me this paragraph violates Wikipedia’s style guidelines:
Although Corinne Drewery rendered what is possibly the definitive vocal interpretation of the song, the Swing Out Sister recording contains a lyric which their fans have interpreted as being "Am I the same girl who knew her soul?" Still others have interpreted the line as "Am I the same girl who knew YOUR soul?" If one listens to the song as sung by the very first vocalist to record it, (Barbara Acklin, literally before the piano instrumental hit which debuted the song in 1968) one hears Acklin sing "Am I the same girl who you hurt so?" This would seem to be the original line in the song—because of Barbara Acklin's personal relationship with the writer of the song, in 1968. This is somewhat confounding in light of how the Swing Out Sister recording sounds to those who have been motivated to present the lyrics online.

Basia is better than Xanax imo.
