January 7, 20169 yr I really thought 'Mowgli's Road' would divide opinion too much to be this high :o. Nice to be proven wrong though! Would slightly prefer it to 'Oh No!' as the winner but that'd also make a fitting #1 so who cares really. Excellent work, Buzzjack (and Joe for hosting). :cheer:

(11), randomfurlong (11), cremey (11), Tony (11), Parallel Reality (11), Heezus Froot (11), dandy* (11), Lindsey (11), Cody (10), Cameron (10), Henderella (10), princess_lotti (10), Harry Flynn (10) I never expected the very first Marina song I heard would make it so high into the rate, just 0.01 point from winning the entire rate...but the scores say otherwise. Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music/v4/d8/bf/52/d8bf529d-842f-53d0-af06-8ad5d0a7af9d/cover170x170.jpeg#1 Oh No! Average: 9.76 HIGH: Froot. (11), Tony (11), Cameron (11), Cody (11), Joe (10), Henderella (10), Lindsey (10), Mr_pmt (10), princess_lotti (10), Kuki Sanban (10), Viper (10), Harry Flynn (10), Parallel Reality (10), 152chris (10), randomfurlong (10) And obviously, the winner is the ever popular 'Oh No!' I don't know how to explain what it is about this song that makes it Marina's most popular song, over some of her others but I'll give it a try; everything just fits together perfectly. It's loud, catchy, colourful and memorable without ever being annoying. What an excellent winner, vintage Marina at her best. Thanks everyone, that was fun.
January 7, 20169 yr Oh No! is the PERFECT pop song, so I'm glad to see it do so well again. :wub: I'm a Ruin continues to grow and astound with every listen, the lyrics are perfection. I particularly love how it is paired with Blue in Froot's tracklist. Hearing Marina say she's going to break up with her partner and then you have the opening line of Blue: 'We've broken up and now I regret it' and the whole subject matter of Blue. Perfect, again. :heart:
January 7, 20169 yr *.* Oh gosh Buzzjack you couldn't have picked a more perfect Marina top 2. I don't know how I never saw this rate but Oh No and Mowgli's Road would have been the two scrapping it out for my 11 so I couldn't be more pleased with your choices.

I don't know how I never saw this rate but Oh No and Mowgli's Road would have been the two scrapping it out for my 11 so I couldn't be more pleased with your choices. You were allowed 3 non-album confined 11s, so both could have had that honour. What would your third have been?
January 7, 20169 yr Oh right! Probably Numb then. I've said that's my favourite in the past and while I think those two have overtaken it lately, I do adore ballad Marina. (and I seem to be heavily weighted to the first era)
January 7, 20169 yr Oh yay Oh No won :D my second fave of the top 5. Radioactive ending at #3 :funky: Need to hear the first album again.
January 7, 20169 yr Great and worthy winner, everything about 'Oh No!' is just undeniable. :wub: I'm shocked 'Mowgli's Road' came so close to winning. :o 'Radioactive' over time emerged as my Marina favourite, I thought at the time that it sort of just slipped under the radar but it seems to have gained cult status over time (particularly in the gay community).
January 7, 20169 yr Perfect top 2 and in the correct order. Mowgli's Road is her most Kate Bush moment and all the better for it. Oh No! is still the best pop song of the decade.
January 8, 20169 yr rite so I clearly need to listen to more of her older stuff cos I've never even heard of oh no and for it to be above im a ruin it must be good
