I only see one of his songs there, the forgettable “I Still Can’t Get Over Loving You”.

The marvelous "The Other Woman" made the 1982 list: https://radioinsight.com/ross/185677/how-lost-are-pop-music-lost-hits/

Bustin' landslide

correct winner. kind of feel like it's the only thing that makes the song worthwhile anymore.

Notable Bustin' victory but nice to see so many different parts got some votes. Slightly disappointed that nobody went for that seductive "If you're all alone, pick up the phone. And call.".

Concerned the horn synth vote will be split

I figured everyone would just go for the first one, but didn't group the three sections together for the possibility of people adding extra value to the timing of the section within the entire song - sometimes I think too much. The votes actually ended up being split: first occurence 3 votes; second 1 vote; third 1 votes.
I suppose it's up to anyone whether to make it 6 votes for the part in their own mind or not. It's the difference between sole third placing or shared with "I can't hear you!".

This Mortal Coil should have covered this.

Jedward - the secret glue, as we are now finding out, that has been holding ILX together all along:

(no footage of their version of “The Other Woman” exists, unfortunately)

Chevy Chase doing that thing with the cigarette has haunted me for 40 years.
