Early thanks to our host for not only hosting but initiating this whole idea, it’s been great fun and it’s appealed to a wide range of people. I’ve enjoyed being a part of it and hope to do so for the next edition too!

Will be interesting to see what does well or not here. I'm predicting a PSB win just cause they are extremely popular as are Depeche Mode. That said wouldn't totally surprise me if something more obscure triumphs tbh.
No clue how mine will do but hopefully not too badly. This post has been edited by Roba!: 3rd October 2022, 06:08 PM |

I think I'm predicting a PSB victory also. Paninaro is a good track and they typically have a wide following on here so even discounted votes may be enough to storm to victory... but we shall see!

1. Jade
Jade started off by sending the wonderful Waves by Blancmange but then changed her mind and entered this song from 1984. I'm glad she did as I don't think I've heard it before. Vicious Pink were a duo from Leeds (Josephine Warden and Brian Moss) who started out as backing singers for Soft Cell. Cccan't You See was their third single and biggest hit, reaching number 67. QUOTE 12 Hashim - Al-Naafyish (The Soul)
10 Charlie - Spacer Woman 08 Depeche Mode - Strangelove 07 A-Ha - Scoundrel Days 06 A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran 05 Naked Lunch - La Femme 04 John Foxx - Underpass 03 Psyche - Misery 02 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Telegraph 01 Camouflage - The Great Commandment xx Pet Shop Boys - Paninaro xx Thomas Dolby - Windpower xx Vangelis - Blade Runner (End Titles) amazing edition ![]() |

Great choice from Jade - still think the radio version may have been a better bet but I guess the extended version suits the theme of the contest more *.*

After 2 votes:
1. 22 Charlie - Spacer Woman 2. 22 Hashim - Al-Naafyish (The Soul) 3. 15 A-Ha - Scoundrel Days 4. 9 Depeche Mode - Strangelove 5. 8 John Foxx - Underpass 6. 7 Alexander Robotnick featuring Martine Michellod - Problèmes d'Amour 7. 7 Camouflage - The Great Commandment 8. 6 A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran 9. 5 Naked Lunch - La Femme 10. 5 Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See (French Extended Mix).......Jade 11. 3 Soft Cell - Memorabilia 12. 3 Psyche - Misery 13. 2 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Telegraph 14. 2 Book Of Love - Boy There's a tie for first place after Jade and Chez both put Charlie and Hashim in their top 2. A-Ha are the only other act with a double figure score. 11 songs are still without a point. |

I always assumed Bladerunner was a late 70s movie.

The radio edit would definitely have made sense but just went with my preferred version!
Not at all surprised to find out that Chez was behind that one ![]() |

![]() Can't not be sending the haunting soundtrack to one of my favourite films ![]() I'm hoping the winner isn't something too obvious (like PSBs), there were some really great under the radar discoveries here. |

Nice pick there Jade. Obvious as can be with Chez on that one. Was also decent.
