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.

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."

Blue Room, Saturday, 26 May 2018 21:25 (five years ago) link

WARM.
LEATHERETTE.

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.

Bee OK, Monday, 28 May 2018 19:46 (five years ago) link

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

Echo & The Bunnymen fanclub evaporated?

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 29 May 2018 00:04 (five years ago) link

stunned that o superman didn't win

probably something to do with the britishes bank holiday

mookieproof, Tuesday, 29 May 2018 00:05 (five years ago) link

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