Vastly under-rated and influential synth pop band from the 80's, fronted by Tony Mansfield.
Here are CFNY's annual 'Best of' lists from the Eighties. Yes, I finally have them all, and some from the 90's too! I also have the 'Greatest Music of All Time' from 1982, and the top 102 songs of the 80's, not to mention an embarrassing Thursday Thirty list from 1989.
All charts were compiled from votes submitted by CFNY listeners. Charts which only have the top 10 listed now have links to the scanned images of the full charts as they appeared in the Toronto Sun and other papers.
As well, we have the 'Top 1002 Of All Time' as broadcast in 1991, and the 'Top 1002 Of All Time' as broadcast in 1999.
Please if you have any other CFNY/Edge 102 lists like these.
