January 20, 20214 yr The Proclaimers are the only of my nominations out so far. Although there are already a few songs I'd missed from going through the list of #3s so hadn't really considered, including that Isley Brothers one which probably wouldn't have made my final 30, but would have been close to it. No surprise I was the only one who voted for a Morrissey song. There's hardly any hype for him on here. Irish Blood, English Heart wasn't far away from my nominations. However out of his solo songs, I'd only put Every Day Is Like Sunday up there with the 15 or so best songs by The Smiths.
January 20, 20214 yr Author 10 points Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart Culture Club - Victims The Damned - Eloise Dua Lipa - IDGAF Papa Roach - Last Resort Donna Summer and Barbara Streisand - No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) Peter Skellern - You're A Lady U-hNZ5ichrE The second song from my vote to go out, a beautiful song by Peter Skellern with great use of the brass band and choir. I think Victims by Culture Club is better than either of their number 1s and we have a great cover version of Eloise by The Damned. No More Tears really should have been a number 1 single.
January 20, 20214 yr 'Don't Phunk With My Heart', 'A Kind of Magic' and 'willow' are my favourites to drop out so far!
January 20, 20214 yr '2002' has no position to be next to Queen, and The Beach Boys or even Taylor Swift.
January 20, 20214 yr Author 11 points Godley & Creme - Under Your Thumb The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Purple Haze Christina Milian - When You Look At Me Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up WhxZd4_T8E8 Another one from my vote, Kevin Godley puts in a dramatic performance on TOTP for this train based ghost story. The legendary Jimi Hendrix is here while the other two acts still have one more song to come.
January 20, 20214 yr Author 12 points The Fugees - Rumble In The Jungle Selena Gomez - Lose You To Love Me George Michael - Older/I Can't Make You Love Me Mental As Anything - Live It Up Orbital - Satan (Live) The View - Same Jeans Yazoo - Nobody's Diary 1qq7jTPkjVg A great song by Yazoo, their third top 3 hit. Also here we have Live It Up which recently reached no.1 on the sales chart after being adopted by fans of Rangers FC.
January 20, 20214 yr Doh! Only just seen this thread, sorry. My full points would obviously have gone to Baker Street. With points for: Oh Carol Sealed With A Kiss It Might As Well Rain Until Septmeber I Want To Stay Here Eve Of Destruction 1-2-3 Monday Monday River Deep Mountain High A Little Bit Me A Little Bit You Zabadak Walk Away Renee Dock Of The Bay This Guy's In LOve With You This Old Heart Of Mine Reflections Of My Life and that's just the 60's and half the slots are already gone! No I couldnt have narrowed it down to 30, it would have driven me insane at having to dump major classics! I would have had to just go to my All-Time Top 900 and see which ones peaked at 3, otherwise I wouldnt even get beyond 1980.... :lol:
January 20, 20214 yr Satan (Live) is an absolute tune! I remember being so surprised when it charted as high as #3
January 20, 20214 yr 'Same Jeans' :wub: a landfill indie classic. And again I forgot it charted as high as #3!
January 21, 20214 yr I didn't nominate 2002 but LOL at people's reaction. Well, maybe I should have given it 20 points just to see that song going through to the semifinals and make this thread even funnier. :lol: I just lost 1 nomination so far but I will lose another one with 13 points. :(
January 21, 20214 yr Think I'm about to lose my second but only the Boyzone guilty pleasure gone so far! Satan by Orbital is such a tune and in hindsight I probably should have included it in my top 30.
January 21, 20214 yr Author 13 points Agnes - Release Me The Belle Stars - Sign Of The Times Jonas Blue featuring Jack & Jack - Rise Blue Mink - The Banner Man East 17 - It's Alright Girls Aloud - Life Got Cold Katrina and the Waves - Love Shine A Light Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney - FourFiveSeconds 9m8Myh5Upms This was the biggest hit for the all female band who came up with some party anthems from 1982-83. Jona Lewie's enduring Christmas tune is here along with the last song to win the Eurovision Song Contest for the United Kingdom.
January 21, 20214 yr Author 14 points The Chi-Lites - Have You Seen Her Alesha Dixon - Breathe Slow Drake - Passionfruit Nelly featuring City Spud - Ride Wit Me Jurgen Vries featuring CMC - The Opera Song (Brave New World) GpIoHFLVA5M One of the best trance hits from the 2000s with a barnstorming vocal from Charlotte Church. We also have a soul classic from the Chi-Lites, one of six top ten singles for them from 1972 to 1976. Edited January 21, 20214 yr by King Rollo
