Hmmm...it's been three years, I thought FreeWave was going to post his tabulation of all the combined lists here? With that in mind, here's my top 5 songs about this thread:

1. Where Were You?-The Mekons
2. Promises Promises-Generation X
3. Destination Unknown-Missing Persons
4. Save It For Later-The English Beat
5. More Than This-Roxy Music [:D]
