1987

The regulars stood tall, proud and not so proud. Mozzer, Thatcher and Peel all had repeat wins. There were a couple of new faces in the form of Suzanne Vega and The Proclaimers.
Giving a nudge to the future, our man said: “The disintegration of The Smiths…does, however, add new interest to the top of the ‘Best Band’ category. Or rather it should, but looking for next year’s top combo isn’t quite the adventure it should be. Current evidence point to the ascension of either U2, New Order, or REM all groups that formed before the dearly departed.”
