May 30, 201510 yr Hmmm, not exactly going the way I imagined there (or wanted!). The runners-up in most categories seem to be the ones I go for. happily Ive already voted for The Smiths best records and can safely give no more points to any they have left higher up, possible exception of Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, so that should put paid to any more victories for them :lol:
June 1, 201510 yr It's very different to how I expected the 21-40 to look too. Guess a lot of the big alternative acts tended to peak around there - like Abba ;) - you could arguably open up some of the multiples if you wanted to impose a rule that only one record gets through per act, but it's mostly a good listen at the moment. The top 20 should be far more varied. Joy Division getting in though - yay! Let's hope Love Will Tear Us Apart comes in at both number 13 and number 19 too! :D :D :D
June 1, 201510 yr Ooh no once a track wins it should be banned from another win or else blue Monday will fill half the slots in the 20 :lol:
