1985 B-Side QUARTER FINALS
Read and comment

We’re down to the last 8 competitors in the A-Sides (on Twitter) and the B-Sides (here!). The winners in these matches enter PollHalla, the pop poll hall of fame, and you have less than a day to make the choices.

I’ve not re-ordered the YT playlist but these tracks are all there, and linked in the matches. And Tenor Saw is starting us off anyway…

…in an all-reggae clash with Sophia George!

Our second Quarter-Final puts our last remaining song from the Global bracket, Youssou N’Dour, up against Detroit’s Model 500.

Chicago house in QF 3 – it’s Mr Fingers vs Lone Justice

And finally back to dancehall as Wayne “Sleng Teng” Smith goes up against Squirrel “Every subsequent post-rock band” Bait!
