May 15, 20223 yr Author This week's session will begin with the Shamen's eccentric Number 1 "Ebenezer Goode" and end around the end of 1994. All are very welcome to join us from 4-7 at https://sync-tube.de/rooms/MEMS28H0P Edited May 15, 20223 yr by JulianT
May 17, 20223 yr I've never joined one before and this actually sounds like fun but Sundays aren't generally good for me as I'm always out and about or doing family stuff!
May 17, 20223 yr Author I've never joined one before and this actually sounds like fun but Sundays aren't generally good for me as I'm always out and about or doing family stuff! Would be lovely to have you if you can make it sometime Mangø! We have discussed the timing before and I do think the consensus is that the current slot works best for most.

Adina Howard - What's Love Got To Do With It 1996 617 Fugees - No Woman No Cry 1996 618 Toni Braxton - Un-Break My Heart 1996 I suggest we skip “Wonderwall” as even though it’s brilliant we probably hear it much more than the rest of the list. Starter for 10: Common People Born Slippy A Design For Life Views?
May 18, 20223 yr There are FAR too many classics here for a selection of 3 to do them justice :o If forced to do, so I would say (in chronological order): Set You Free, Common People, Children but in any other week, I would be putting forward: Slight Return, A Design For Life, Born Slippy and I haven't even mentioned Alright, Roll With It, Wonderwall and The *actual* Beatles
May 18, 20223 yr also agree no need for Wonderwall, there are already 2 Oasis #1s in the same session, no need fo a 3rd track
May 18, 20223 yr also agree no need for Wonderwall, there are already 2 Oasis #1s in the same session, no need fo a 3rd track I agree, we don't really need to create an opportunity to listen to Wonderwall. The Manics also have two #1s later on, although neither matched the impact of A Design For Life.
May 18, 20223 yr Roll With It has to be played for its part in one of the most famous races for number one. There are plenty of other great choices, specifically Common People Children No More I Love Yous Alright A Design For Life Free As A Bird could also be chosen as it was an attempt at another Beatles chart-topper. Wonderwall is a great song but I'm inclined to agree that we should go with songs that aren't plated as much as that.
May 18, 20223 yr Oh man, two wonderful years for #2s, almost impossible to pick three from that bunch. But I agree A Design for Life, Born Slippy, and Common People seem a good compromise (Common People is a must, especially as bloody Robson and Jerome of all people kept that off the top). Roll With It and Wonderwall have never been huge favourites from Oasis so I'm happy to leave them. (Although I must say I do prefer the Manics' upcoming number 1, however unpopular an opinion that is, so I'll nominate Children or Alright in it's place x)
May 18, 20223 yr I'd be up for hosting a one-off #2s session just to cover this era. Would next Wednesday evening work?
May 18, 20223 yr 'Born Slippy' and 'A Design For Life' are definitely my top 2 of those I think, and 'Common People' is great too so I'd be more than happy to stick to those 3 (I'd probably put 'Children' to complete my personal top 3 though). I suppose I wouldn't be opposed to a one off #2s listenthrough although would be slightly undermining the plan to go through all the #2s some time in the future!
May 19, 20223 yr Author Nice idea Jim - though I’m not free next Wednesday and as Bray said we will cover them eventually even if it seems a long time away with doing #1 albums first!
May 19, 20223 yr Nice idea Jim - though I’m not free next Wednesday and as Bray said we will cover them eventually even if it seems a long time away with doing #1 albums first! OK something to look forward to in 2024 then, or however long it takes to get through a track from each of the fake cassette assisted 1-week #1 albums of the last few years :kink: although I'm looking forward to that too and discovering some new music! Sounds like a consensus around the 3 songs you suggested for Sunday, with Children as a possible 4th? Edited May 19, 20223 yr by jimwatts
May 19, 20223 yr but not 4 please, I think 3 is already overkilling it and should actually be just 1 we have to restrain ourselves :D
