On the current scores above I think you have the 8 v 1 the wrong way round for Dire Straits and T.Rex in the 70's

The Smiths are the most marmite band of all time...you love or you hate. I'm with you. Awful voice, makes Bono look good

50's/60's

Donovan 'Hurdy Gurdy Man'
Hollies 'Bus Stop'
Doris Day 'Move Over Darling'

70's

10cc 'The Dean and I'
Temptations 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone'
T Rex 'Metal Guru' - really like both of these, unfortunate pairing.
Bob Marley ‘Three Little Birds’

80's

U2 'The Unforgettable Fire'
Duran Duran 'Save A Prayer'
Echo and the Bunnymen 'The Killing Moon' - and again, nice song by Alphaville

If it's any consolation I feel neither song will win the 70's decade final as there is one clear favourite in this group of songs & a worthy one too !

NP as is the case with most of these Polls I find all the songs I like don't generally get as far as the semi finals and this is the case this time there's probably one song I like left and that's in the 80's the rest I'd turn the radio off if they were played
