Hope people don't mind. I find the search function a bit of a chore at the best of times and often can't remember whether to search in Comeback Corner or chart & lists so thought I would index a load of retro threads here. I plan to add to it and suggestions are welcome. Perhaps it could become a pinned thread - as we don't have any in the Comeback Corner as yet - if people find it useful? If something isn't listed above it's because nobody's been posting in an artist's thread for months so don't blame me it's not my fault!
I miss @Tommy Johnson's Polls! I can't believe how few threads there are discussing specific years. I'm gong to tidy up the threads for 1980-82 and start one for 1983.
Thanks. Unfortunately polls here are limited to 10 options which makes doing charts a bit pointless! However if you care to visit the Steve Hoffman forum you’ll see I’ve created many U.K. and US polls there!
The "Ultimate 80s" rate we did a few years ago - which I hosted - could perhaps be added to the relevant category. It provoked a lot of discussion and participation.
