NME was always very right-on indie wasn't it.
I'm not seeing AC/DC Touch Too Much and Iron Maiden Sanctuary there.

Big misses for me - OMD should be on there with 'Messages' or 'Electricity',and the B-52s for 'Give me Back my Man' and 'Private Idaho'.
The real surprise is Redemption Song not being there.

John Peel's "Festive 50" of 1980:
"Listeners in the month of November were invited to send in a list of their three favourite tracks ever and I was going to... in order, y'know, whether they be album tracks or singles, and I have worked these into an attractive chart to be broadcast between now and, well, Tuesday week, tomorrow week. And it's difficult to say, actually, because I never count the cards to be honest, but I suppose that probably something of the order of 6 or 7000 people bothered to write in."
"And at #1, and with more than twice the number of votes that "Atmosphere" had, this again."

My sentiments entirely with 'Rescue' and 'Song from under the Floorboards' close behind.......The Fall, the Bunnymen and Magazine were terrific live...saw them all many times especially the Bunnymen....oh for the good old days
