Violent Femmes - 95

Steven Ray Vaughan - 75 (not really my thing, but I don't dislike it either)

The Smiths - 98 (or to use Alex Markham's scale, 19,343,223)

Quiet Riot - 90

Other singles I love from 1983:

U2 - New Years Day (their first top ten hit in the UK)

Bananarama - Cruel Summer

Depeche Mode - Everything Counts

Michael Jackson - Beat It

Tears For Fears - Pale Shelter

Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know?

Echo and the Bunnymen - The Cutter

Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams

David Bowie - Let's Dance (not a yuck from me, I love it)

KC and the Sunshine Band - Give It Up

New Order - Blue Monday

Human League - Keep Feelin' Fascination (Another hilarious misheard lyric in the chorus, courtesy of my children: "Keep feeling flaccid bacon" - particularly amusing considering they probably thought that because I am vocal in my strong views concerning bacon, ie it must be crispy).
