Following gravey's boardicide, this rankdown needs a new host, so I've stepped up to finish this. If you haven't given the original thread a read yet, this is a rankdown of every song that placed between 11 and 20 in the 1980s year-end rankdowns.
You probably all know how these work by now; just PM me your list (with the songs formatted as they are here) with these songs ranked from #1 (your favourite) to #100 (your least favourite). Unfortunately, gravey didn't leave us a participant list or ask for anyone to take over before he left, so if you've already sent him a list, you'll need to re-send it to me for it to be counted.
There are a lot of songs to rank here, but chances are you've heard most of them before if I've tagged you here, so I'll put the deadline at the 6th November for now. Below are the songs in alphabetical order, a preference revealer and list numberer, and a Spotify playlist, as well as links to the '80s YE rankdowns.
