A good if not spectacular selection of songs for this week, but Billy Ray Cyrus, Inner Circle and Enigma got my votes.
Right Said Fred for worst, not as bad as 'Deeply Dippy', but still.

Prodigy, Sub Sub & Enigma for the best.

Was only going to be the Run For You cover (which I hate) for the worst but I listen to the Right Said Fred one for the first time for the sake of a fair vote and it gave me the ick. I'll take Deeply Dippy any day over that so got a vote too.

Richard marx and Enigma easily the best on that list 9and getting my votes), but I do rate SWV too.

Worst is Ugly Kid Joe, not even close - as per usual I think the other candidates are pretty good, while the godawful Achy Hatey Heart is in the Best list?! Presumably here cos he's Miley & Noah's dad.... laugh.gif

I also would have included Achy Breaky Heart in the worst category
as bad as Rage and RSF
compared to Achy Breaky Heart, the Madonna one is a masterpiece


bestest by miles is Annie Lennox

Me and Dandy ensuring SWV makes the best list cheeseblock.png Went for that, Charly, Temple of Love, Hazard and Return to Innocence. Achy Breaky Heart's iconic, stop the hate x

Ugly Kid Joe for worst, bad name, bad song x

I'm a bit confused as to how Sweat is better than This Used to Be My Playground.

My shortlist would have been slightly different - I’d have had Billy Joel and maybe Dawn Penn, and not Inner Circle. But it’s not like any of those would have been top 3 contenders anyway.

Yes I agree, River Of Dreams is wonderful and so is Dawn Penn's. That was played at the ska club night I went to t'other month and it sounded great, while I have my ticket to see Billy, hopefully he'll do River Of Dreams.

How the F the Madonna song is listed as worst. One of her best songs. And a song like Achy Breaky Heart as best.
