Damn, good shout bmstinton93.... there's so many from this year that I like.

There's Lennon, Bowie, Pink Floyd, Queen ( including the Flash Gordon tune!..... "he'll save every one of us" ;) )

I'll probably stick with Ashes to Ashes right now unless I can think of something else:

I absolutely love this song, it was the reason why I got into The Jam as well as (whispers it) The Style Council :lol:

The Style Council's first two albums were brilliant, it all went a bit Pete Tong after that. One of the great disappointments in my life is that I haven't enjoyed anything that Paul Weller, who I regard as a legend, has done as a solo artist.

Do you guys have a web site that gives the year of the music? The one I used last week was seen to be incorrect, as you are all annoying arseholes who check the dates of the * songs I choose perhaps we could agree a source for external verification, and also so I can one day catch Sidders out please.

musicoutfitters.com is what I usualy use.... But to be fair I only get there by googling 'hits of 1980'. Wikipedia are good for lists of number ones from each year, but you don't always want songs which hit No1.

I have every song that hit number 1 from 1956 to this years x factor 2010 single on my computer but otherwise i use either wikipedia or sort music by year on my itunes.

Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall.

Worst Pink Floyd track ever. I always wondered if they did it as a joke, its so far below the standard of their usual stuff.

Released in 1979 but included on the 1980 album "The Age Of Plastic", ladies and gentlemen, I give you the first ever music video played on MTV:

Gotta say, I agree with Bob. Surely its the year of release, not the year it featured on an album, or we enter a whole new domain with 'best of' releases. With that logic you could have a lot from the Jackson 5 for 2009..........?! Doesn't seem right to me.

I would imagine it would be the original album it appeared on, excluding best ofs or compilations and soundtracks - I would imagine. Otherwise you can't have album tracks that weren't released, can you?

Sat and today are up
