Ooh I thought I might’ve been the only voter for my +18 pointer, glad that’s not the case! Instead it’s twenty one pilots who are next to drop out of my votes. I really got on board due to ‘Stressed Out’ and then the following era produced the goods too <3
‘Tainted Love’ is one of my favourite hits of the 80s  I strongly considered putting The Beach Boys in my votes! Glad they didn’t go home empty-handed. |

I'm not a fan but surprised to see Beach Boys with only one vote.

I'm pleased to see that someone else voted for the Moody Blues.
Sweet, Soft Cell and The Beach Boys are all very good. |

QUOTE(Jason @ Oct 18 2020, 02:34 PM)  A little review of every group voted would suit this thread perfectly though.  Rather than reviewing, which I'm not particularly good at, here's my 3 favourite songs from the groups I voted for which have been eliminated so far [and not all of these were Top 40 hits]: The Jam (3 points) - Going Underground; That's Entertainment; Down In The Tube Station At Midnight Crowded House (4) - Four Seasons In One Day; Into Temptation; Distant Sun Specials (9) - Gangsters; Friday Night, Saturday Morning; Nelson Mandela Pogues (14) - Fairytale Of New York; A Pair Of Brown Eyes; The Body Of An American Beach Boys (18) - Good Vibrations; Wouldn't It Be Nice; literally any of their songs about cars / girls / surfing |

21 Pilots seem to be the first group with three votes.

Never got the fuss about Mumford. Yeah they've released a few decent songs (Little Lion Man is probably my favourite) but I can take or leave them.

Yeah agree. I loved their debut but they've got progressively worse with now the occasional decent single.

Friendly Fires' one top 40 hit is hardly even one of their more memorable songs as well. Same with Two Door Cinema Club.
Mumford & Sons' first 2 albums were both great, I have lost a bit of interest in them since then though. |

Yes the first two Mumford & Sons albums are the only ones I really like and the first more than the second. My favourite songs are The Cave, Winter Winds and either of the title tracks next.

Booty Luv getting two votes
 I thought they were long forgotten about! They did have some decent singles tbf.I'm 99.9% certain that my 21 and 22 pointers are coming up next because I can't for the life of me imagine anyone else voted for them! |

When I did my list I ended up with a top 70 shortlist!! Mumford were in my top 60 and Beach Boys Top 50. Vienna is an all time classic from Ultravox and I liked a few of their other singles.
