October 23, 20204 yr Adam and the Ants :wub: I've really got into all three of their albums lately - with 'Kings of the Wild Frontier' being my favourite. The double-drumming tribal energy, post-punk/new wave sound, fun lyrical style and Adam's voice are all so infectious. Top 10 songs right now are probably... 01. Stand and Deliver 02. Prince Charming 03. Antmusic 04. Kings of the Wild Frontier 05. Ants Invasion 06. Dog Eat Dog 07. Don't Be Square (Be There) 08. Physical (You're So) 09. Zerox 10. Scorpios Great videos too - the embedded 'Prince Charming' one is a lot of fun! It's a shame that they split up while they were still absolutely massive :( I understand why and Adam was able to use the springboard for 'Goody Two Shoes', but aww. This section is mostly full of acts that I really like one song from :lol: namely 'Little Talks', 'Lola's Theme', 'Vienna' (:wub: - I watched that exact TOTP performance the other day as '1981 hits' was on iPlayer), and 'Boogie 2nite'! OutKast were a glaring omission from my list, oops :drama:
October 23, 20204 yr Everyone thinks they know the story, of Dick Turpin's highway glory (that parody got me into Adam & The Ants :lol:)
October 23, 20204 yr Nice to see OutKast getting as many as 3 votes! And cool to see Of Monsters And Men here too though I am surprised they'd be as high as 11th for someone given their fairly limited discography - they do have some other good songs besides 'Little Talks' though xx Living for Jade randomly turning into an Adam & The Ants stan recently :kink:
October 23, 20204 yr really like Of Monsters and Men and even seen them live a couple times but Little Talks is their only wow song, the rest are nice but nothing even comes close to Little Talks
October 23, 20204 yr Living for Jade randomly turning into an Adam & The Ants stan recently :kink: :lol: first Fiona Apple and now Adam & The Ants - all of this extra time at home this year expanding my musical horizons in unexpected places *.*

October 25, 20204 yr I forgot I had voted for Westlife! That's a poor showing for them, but I get it - they were never my favourites but they have lots of nostalgic tunes.
October 25, 20204 yr glad that there were other votes for Eternal, one of my fave girl groups ever...
October 25, 20204 yr The Beautiful South and Sparks are the pick of those as well as my own vote,OMD.
October 25, 20204 yr I like my fair share of Westlife songs but once again... only on BuzzJack could they be ahead of some of the bands they have beaten here xx
October 25, 20204 yr That list of Westlife #1s :cheeseblock: Pink Floyd and OMD might have made my Top 50
