Me first (from 1973)

1. Bad Bad Leroy Brown - Jim Croce

2. Killing me softly (with his song) - Roberta Flack

5. Lets get it on - Marvin Gaye or Angie - Rolling Stones.

Just quietly that's a terrible top 5

1985 - everything was good

*Edit*

I was going to select a Top 5, but most are soppy love songs and I don't want to look like a sissy

Great topic, FC!

Here's my top 5 for 1983 (in no particular order):

Billy Joel - Uptown Girl
Joan Armatrading - Drop The Pilot
Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance
Elton John - I'm Still Standing

From 1986. Id hardly call them a favourite song of mine, but when its on I sing along:

You give love a bad name- Bon Jovi
R.O.C.K in the USA- John Mellencamp
Party all the time- Eddie Murphy
Take my breath away- Berlin (I first heard this song on the footy DVD "Electrifying 80's, background music to speccies...oh- and Top Gun- bit of an association choice that one )
Walk of life- Dire Straits

From http://top100singles.blogspot.com.au/20 ... -1971.html ...

The Mixtures - The Pushbike Song

George Harrison - My Sweet Lord

T.Rex - Hot Love

The Doors - Love Her Madly

Deep Purple - Black Night

(all fairly MOR stuff ... but to be expected from a "top X of Y" sort of list)

No words needed!!!

None - I didn't take much notice of songs and music until I was about 12.

Favourite song from 1974...
