We have made it and are down to the last two songs, but who will win the final, Elvis Costello or Split Enz.
The choice is yours, thanks to everyone who has voted and contributed to Horace's Top 40 Poll.

Difficult one this for me,both are great songs and great bands from the best era of music. Both acts have survived (Finn Brothers)and prospered since. So my choice would be...... . . . . The son of the secret lemonade drinker Our American friends wont get that link!

I had already voted but didn't have time to comment at that moment. Neil Finn/Crowded House have been the band I have seen most part from ELO so it was straightforward for me. I love the melody.I also bought it when it originally came out so have it in the attic along side my other vinyl singles somewhere.
Saying that though Oliver's Army does have an interesting background though being a comment on young unemployed men from Britain being used as soldiers to police the troubles in Northern Ireland.

I've signed up for the Army as well.
Looks like Elvis Costello is here to stay, Elvis Costello is on his way....

Oliver: I have an army. Me: We have... voted for Elvis Costello.
(And boy, has that keyboardist got some moves! )
Both excellent songs though, in fact they've all been, thanks for the fantastic poll Horacewimp!

Split Enz, I love that song.
By now it seems my vote won't change much though... oh, well, nothing that I haven't experienced recently.

We have a winner, Elvis Costello’s Oliver’s Army is in your opinion my best single. Thanks all for voting. To celebrate the occasion and to prove I own the single I’ve taken a trip up the loft and it’s playing now.
