The Masses Against The Classes is so underrated! I'm pleasantly surprised it was remembered well enough to avoid finishing around the bottom!

Beautiful Day is one of U2's best and is truly anthemic, it finishing below ZAYN and Cheryl is truly despicable x

Zayn will never release anything as good as Pillowtalk. It's epic imo. wub.gif
Shame Buzzjack is always predictable, I knew he wouldn't go through to the final round. Justin Bieber should be the next one eliminated. sad.gif

Poor Nico & Vinz sad.gif Their first album was so good, so many potential hits from it! Such a shame their more recent stuff has gone downhill.

38. The Jam - Going Underground/Dreams Of Children 130pts

Writer - Paul Weller
Top points - jimwatts 23,RabbitFurCoat 20,Bre 17


'Dreams Of Children' was supposed to be the A side of this single with 'Going Underground' as the B side but a mix-up at the pressing plant led to both songs being printed as A sides. DJs decided to play 'Going Underground' on the radio and the rest is history. I've just listened to 'Dreams Of Children'. It's a decent song but not as commercial as 'Going Underground'.

I wish all of their singles had already gone.
I'm thinking more than 15 Spice Girls, Abba and Madonna combined songs will be in the final round while some great singers/groups won't have any. mad.gif
