Smash Hits was excellent wasn't it? I know people say the 80s was the peak and reading this I'm inclined to believe so, but even the 90s version I grew up with was better than most other magazines I read at the time.
On Youtube there are a good few recordings of the Poll Winners Parties from late 80s/early 90s, they've cheered me up a lot during lockdown.

Would be a fun thing to listen to every single that came out in 1985, week by week.
Pretty sure Marcello Carlin has done this and written about it, somewhere.

I'm On Fire is an amazing song impeded by its production. A better version of it would be the best track here.

yup, "I'm On Fire" in the style of "Nebraska" would rule.
FYC FTW.

Nebraska in the style of Tunnel of Love would be Springsteen's best album.
smash hits was absolutely my number one source of music news when i was in my early teens and going through a bit of a goth phase. used to cut out every picture of the cure, the cult and the banshees and stick them on my wall. getting this sticker was an absolute highpoint though:
