November 6, 20204 yr London Grammar are one of those bands that everyone except me seems to love, but I just don't get the hype for them at all. With the exception of a couple of songs, I find them a bit dull (don't shoot me). Oh well. Looking forward to today's recap!

November 6, 20204 yr The Sun Always Shines on TV is a pop classic really. :wub: It sounds so much better than their biggest hit in the USA Take On Me imo. I got 22 groups left in the top 100. :dance: I've lost: S Club Juniors, INXS, Rudimental, Swedish House Mafia, Chainsmokers, KLF, The Housemartins and Inspiral Carpets. Edited November 6, 20204 yr by Jason
November 6, 20204 yr 'The Sun Always Shines On TV' is a bona fide 80s classic :wub: I especially love in the intro! I think I've lost 9 acts so I've got 21 acts in the Top 100.

November 6, 20204 yr Really enjoying this thread !! Can’t believe some members have lost very few bands !!!
November 6, 20204 yr oh can't believe Pulp are gone, I thought they would be much appreciated in here one of the best UK bands ever and a million times better than Oasis and Blur put together also sad for A-ha and Keane, which I didn't vote but I do like a lot and bought albums in the past
November 6, 20204 yr Author As for the top 100- we now move to three eliminations per day. Ties will be separated by firstly those acts with the most voters giving them points, and in the event of a tie on that front, by the top mark they got from any one voter.

November 7, 20204 yr blink-182's best half a dozen or so songs are as good as most bands however I'm not really that into much after that. Adam's Song, Stay Together For the Kids and I Miss You :heart:
November 7, 20204 yr Keane would've scored 21 points from me and A-ha 5 points. The Police made the shortlist but outside the points. Some great bands mixed in this section.
November 7, 20204 yr Love a bit of Blink, they were close to getting points from me. 5SOS are good but still a poor man's Busted, at least in their early days. They've done really well to evolve their sound and stay kinda relevant though. Edited November 7, 20204 yr by M4NGO
