October 27, 20204 yr sad to see the lack of love for 90s US rock bands with Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Counting Crows all gone already I'm sad to see the lack of love for 90s UK groups like Stone Roses and Happy Mondays. I got a feeling now that no one else voted for them, they were in my top 35 but I thought they would be remembered in this contest.
October 27, 20204 yr Very few of my votes have come up so far, so it'll be a nice surprise for me when they do :lol:
October 27, 20204 yr I'm sad to see the lack of love for 90s UK groups like Stone Roses and Happy Mondays. I got a feeling now that no one else voted for them, they were in my top 35 but I thought they would be remembered in this contest. The Stone Roses were very close to my final 30, but I also think they've missed out on any votes.
October 27, 20204 yr I'm surprised I didn't vote for them, can't remember if they just missed out so might have forgot about them. Edited October 27, 20204 yr by RabbitFurCoat
October 27, 20204 yr loved the Stone Roses back in the day and their debut album is amazing, the second one not so much so it's always difficult to rate them against bands that have consistently delivered over time I actually cannot recall either if I voted for them or not :D Edited October 27, 20204 yr by Bjork
October 27, 20204 yr Madness (38) and Def Leppard (36) were just outside my Top 30 but Jamiroquai were 25th so would've got another 6 points from me!! All brilliant bands.
October 27, 20204 yr Of all my 20+ pointers, I didn't think Def Leppard would be the band that no one else voted for! Madness are a great band, they were probably close to getting points from me.
October 27, 20204 yr Def Leppard had another #2 hit, When Love And Hate Collide, that was the first I heard of them and I got their 'best of' the same year.
October 28, 20204 yr Madness and Jamiroquai were in my list but couldn’t squeeze them in to my top 30
October 28, 20204 yr Everything Everything stood out like a sore thumb in my votes with only one top 40 scrape to their name, but they were a must nevertheless, still delivering the eclectic goods ^_^ I've never heard a Jamiroquai album before (which was not very useful when I took part in a music quiz once with a dedicated artist round, that week Jamiroquai, full of album tracks :P) but they have some brilliant singles in their repertoire.

October 28, 20204 yr All of those #1 hits for The Rolling Stones :cheeseblock: I've never been able to massively get into them in general but 'Paint It, Black' is a brilliant song. I really like all of those 10cc chart toppers but on the flip-side, I prefer t.A.T.u.'s material away from 'All The Things She Said' - particularly 'Not Gonna Get Us' :wub: I know and love the obvious Yeah Yeah Yeah songs 'Zero' and 'Heads Will Roll' but don't know anything else, should probably rectify that.
October 28, 20204 yr I don't know that many songs from Yeah Yeah Yeahs either but they do have 2 proper 11/10 moments in their discog just among the ones I do know - 'Maps' and 'Zero' :wub: ('Heads Will Roll' is great as well ofc). Yay for System Of A Down here as well ~
October 28, 20204 yr Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps is one of my favourite songs of the 00s. It's been pretty influential too (e.g. Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone, Black Eyed Peas - Meet Me Halfway and Beyoncé - Hold Up have all used elements of it). I never really liked any INXS songs until a few years ago when I heard one of their really early songs, Don't Change :heart: Hard to pick 3 favourite Rolling Stones songs as they were so consistent - I'll say Brown Sugar, Jumpin' Jack Flash and The Last Time.
October 28, 20204 yr Good to know someone else voted for INXS. My fave of theirs is Never Tears Us Apart. :D RIP Michael Hutchence. :( Its weird to know he was a former Kylie 's boyfriend. Edited October 28, 20204 yr by Jason
October 28, 20204 yr i can’t believe The Rolling Stones got so few votes... they r legends.... thought they’s be in the top 10 at least....
