BuzzJack Music Forum _ 20th Century Retro _ Which idea will be the best for my next countdown ?

Posted by: Sword of Justice 9th April 2015, 05:38 PM

Firstly, I can do my final good-bye to Eurovision Song Contest and complete all-time top 100 ? Seems good for 60th anniversary of the contest.

Second idea is the selection of 100 songs, which represent my vision on last 50 years of pop music (1964-2014). It's similar with all-time chart, but there will be some restrictions : no more 2 songs from any singer / group + no more 3 songs, but minimum 1 song from each year.

Third idea is top 100 singles (or maybe top 150) of my favourite time period in music charts, when pure pop was everywhere.
From late 1997, when Aqua released their first album to Christmas 2003 (Sugababes - Too Lost In You).

I can do all three, only need to know the order (because every countdown need many free time) and the chart with the most followers will be the first.

P.S. : Please, don't move this thread.

i like the sound of option 2, but then I'm old enough to remember the last 50 years

It's eternal party for two.

John, thanks for your opinion.

There will be many pop classics from 60s, 70s and 80s, 90s is 50 / 50, from last years mostly I include low-known or flopped songs from the most my iconic modern singers / groups. Even add some non-singles, because I prefer them to all singles from those artists.

I go with the 50 years of pop music idea too.

OK, this list will coming soon.

Some years kills my mind and it's not easy to choose two songs for ABBA, Madonna and Sugababes.
OK, I always can give a wild card for Heidi Range's solo material.

I've no problem choosing 2 songs from anyone

Bad news : I don't have enough free time for 100 songs selection

But there is a good news : I choose my all-time top 100 Eurovision songs, only need to complete the order of ranking.
It's a good tribute to 60th anniversary of the contest.
