BuzzJack Music Forum _ 20th Century Retro _ Bananarama - The Rate

Posted by: Acidburn 29th May 2015, 12:35 AM

Welcome Buzzjack Retro Forum

To my first ever rate on this forum and I have decided to choose Bananarama, as they are one of my all time favourite girl groups of all time and just thought that maybe do a little something different, and hopefully I can make this a success. I may have been too young to remember these girls in action during their hey day, but I will always remember first listening to "Venus" as a kid and became hooked, and so I sought out their Greatest Hits album and just fell in love with them, and then collected all of their albums and been a fan ever since. With a career spanning over 30 years and with sales of over 40 Million worldwide with iconic memorable hits such as "Cruel Summer", "Love In The First Degree" and "I Heard A Rumour", you can definitely see that they have been an inspiration for many successful girl groups throughout the years.

Here I have selected 33 of their singles for you to rate in the list below, I have left out a few but I have decided to only include songs that have charted, but if I made any glaring admissions just say so in this post and I can add it to the list.

Rules
Please rate every song between 0 and 10.
Half marks are allowed but no 10.5's
You can rate one track 11 and one -1, but those are optional.
