This is a 90s number twos rate using every song that hit number 2 but failed to go to number 1 in the 1990s. What will happen is there will be 10 rounds, the first being 1990, then 1991 etc. up to round 10 which will be 1999. The top 4 from each round will go straight to the final, and 5th to 7th placed will go in a "wildcard" round.

 

The top ten songs from the "wildcard" round will be put into the final round to make a top 50 of the decade. After the final the next rate will be 00s number 2s

 

How you rate the songs; exactly the same as last time, you do not rate every song that hit number two, you just rate your ten favourites and your least favourite. You give +15 points to your favourite song, and the rest are as follows; This is to hopefully stop ties from happening inside the top 3.

 

+15 Favourite Song

+12 2nd Favourite Song

+10 3rd Favourite Song

+08 4th Favourite

+06 5th Favourite

+05 6th Favourite

+04 7th Favourite

+03 8th Favourite

+02 9th Favourite

+01 10th Favourite

 

-02 Least Favourite, or Most Hated depending on what way you look at it

 

 

These are the songs you need to rate from. You have 2 days for every round to rate. This means the deadline is Friday morning and hopefully round 4 (1993) will be up by then.

-2. Undercover – Baker Street - I had no idea of the existence of this song until I've just gone on Youtube. What a horrendous version, even worse than Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey!

:( @ 2 Unlimited missing out

 

again, I don't know most of these, had to rely on youtube- luckily I made some good discoveries :o

It really is horrible eh? Didn't help that the lead singer looked like a geography teacher at a school disco.

-2 Iron Maiden – Be Quick Or Be Dead

 

I was going to say this is a horrible year but it's actually a pretty good list - it's just I've never had SO many different candidates for my -2 before and they all jumped out at me before the decent songs. But there's plenty of good stuff here, for sure, including one absolute classic and plenty of fun elsewhere.

-2 Michael Jackson - Heal the World Could have given this to Kylie, 2 Unlimited, Ce Ce Peniston, Guns N' Roses, Nick Berry or Undercover as well. Too much crap!

 

Not voting for The Temptations (even though I love it) as it belongs in the the 1960s.

It's funny though, even the tracks which aren't re-releases or covers were very sample-heavy. The KLF sampled Jimi Hendrix and themselves, Kris Kross the Jackson 5, Shut Up and Dance Marc Cohn (famously) and then Arrested Development was a cover of Sly Stone. Not a very original time at all!

+15 The KLF 'Justified and Ancient' This is a classic, even if what she's saying in the chorus makes no sense at all

+12 Undercover 'Baker Street' R.I.P. Gerry Rafferty - original is better but this remix isn't bad

+10 SL2 'On a Ragga Trip'

+08 Ce Ce Peniston 'Finally' How would of they said her name on radio :lol:

+06 Michael Jackson 'Heal The World'

+05 Kris Kross 'Jump'

+04 Prodigy 'Everybody in the Place'

+03 Dr Alban 'It's My Life'

+02 Smart E's 'Seasame's Treet'

+01 Shut Up and Dance 'Raving I'm Raving'

 

-02 Mariah Carey 'I'll Be There' This is for ruining the Jackson 5 classic. I was almost going to give The Temptations -2 but it was a re-release from the 60s so its a bit unfaire

I actually came *really* close to giving SL2 top marks there but decided against it.
