I did this on another forum I am a member of - would be interested to compare the results.

1-0 to Billy Ocean then.

Eddie Grant:

Electric Avenue big hit around 1983-84. Gimme Hope Joanna was an anti-apartheid song also in the 80s at the height of the state of emergency in South Africa. Romancing the Stone was on the soundtrack to the 80s movie Jewel of the Nile with Michael Douglas. And then he had “Don’t Wonna Dance”.

Found out from doing these polls that “Electric Avenue” is actually the name of a notorious dealers street in London.

So what is your no.1 Billy Ocean song? “Get Outta My Dreams; Get Into my Car”; “When the going get’s tough”; “Loverboy” or “Caribbean Queen”?

Caribbean Queen - reminds me of hot windy summer nights with the roof down driving in my car.

For me it’s:

1. Loverboy
2. Get Outta My Dreams; Get Into My Car
3. Caribbean Queen
4. When the Going Gets Tough (The Tough Get Going)

All 4 easily make my Top 100 Songs Ever and Top 80 Songs of the 80s.
