Please don't. We haven't forgotten the Top 3 songs by the Top 10 artists thread

There are so many...so very many. A small selection of the slightly lesser known could be:

Like a rollercoaster (Sugar and the Lollipops)
Luna Square (Boytronic)
Bolero (Fancy)
What shall we do with the drunken DJ? (Radio Pirates)
Passion (The Flirts)
Right on target (Paul Parker/Patrick Cowley)
Ghostbusters (Ray Parker Jr.)
Hell was a city (Marc Almond)

you and I might not see eye to eye but I get this sense of euphoria when Joe yells "Rocket! Yeah! Satellite of love!" and in the closing chorus of Breakthru, Freddie sings "if I could only reach you, if I could make you smiiiiiile, if I could only reach you, that would really be a breathru". Very uplifting for me. A song doesn't have to have a dance beat to be uplifting...

Just you wait until the original Satellite Of Love (Rocket was inspired and namechecks several 70s acts and songs|) is remixed and is a HUGE anthem this summer, by Lou Reed featuring David Bowie, obviously
