Posted August 16, 20222 yr Hello again! After confirmations, we have 29 blasts from the past to get through here and I have to say I was quite impressed with the inspiration and span of decades on show here, we have a range of throwbacks from 2009 all the way back to 1967! I hope you enjoy the selection here. Once you have listened to and ranked the below songs, please send your top 10 to me via PM, we are voting using the Eurovision 12-point system, see below: 12; Your favourite song 10; Your second favourite song 08; 07; 06; 05; 04; 03; 02; 01; Your 10th favourite song This contest is anonymous so please do not reveal what you sent until you are revealed in the results thread. Also, please don't vote for yourself x Anyone can vote in this contest even if you didn't participate, however, participants that don't vote or are late will receive a deduction for their entry. Deadline for votes will be Friday September 2nd at 23:59, it's a longer deadline than usual but it's the only one I can fit around the other contests going on and my own work schedule, it'll also give you some more time with the songs. Now for the songs! I like to jazz up anonymous contests with anonymous identites so I have disguised you all as a selected pop culture character, moment or miscellaneous event associated with the year the song was released some recycled from my last contest, can you spot them all x Let's go!

August 16, 20222 yr Omg 'Back To The 80's *.* yess. A smash in my chart back in the day. I know a few other recognisable names here too but not totally sure I know the songs. Looking forward to it! Edited August 16, 20222 yr by Roba.
August 16, 20222 yr Aww Judith Durham :heart: and Michelle McManus *.* I heard a clip of that Ace of Base song in a video recently and thought it sounded pretty cool, so I look forward to hearing it in full. Love the idea of the images tied to each song!
August 16, 20222 yr The image tied to my entry is pretty much childhood memory so thanks for the idea! :D
August 16, 20222 yr I thought 'Plastic Love' looked familiar and I just realised it's because it gets pushed to me on YouTube a lot, instead with the upload that has a similar thumbnail to this: Intrigued ~
August 16, 20222 yr Author ^Indeed, I've had that recommended to me so much :lol: seems like it's a common thing in the comments of that video. I will compile a YouTube playlist shortly, if anyone would like to do a Spotify one, that would be appreciated (I can do an Apple Music one x) Also Robyn's Show Me Love (not to be confused with Robin S' Show Me Love of course!) is an obscure remix that isn't even on streaming so we thought it fine even though the original was a top 10 hit, I'm very pleased how inspired people were here x
August 16, 20222 yr I thought one song was a piss take but enjoyed it and expect it to make my top 12 !
August 16, 20222 yr Loving the song that kicks off this whole thing! An old school Tony Hawk Skateboarding soundtrack anthem from my PS one days! *.*
August 16, 20222 yr Woo, there's three songs there already which are big faves of mine! Wasn't expecting actual hits!
August 16, 20222 yr Surprisingly few songs here that I already know, think there's only 2 or 3 besides my own (and I'm also aware of 'Plastic Love' from the YouTube algorithm falling in love with it for some reason, though I can't remember if I have ever actually listened to it tbf, hope it'll be worth the hype!) A fair few more recognisable names of course. Nice to see an appearance from Judith Durham. Guess the rest of us all better give up our hopes of winning though because Michelle McManus has it in the bag xx
August 16, 20222 yr I don’t know if Dan is in this contest, so I hope I’m not stepping on his or anyone else’s toes by doing this, but here’s a Spotify playlist BUT it is missing a lot of songs from my quick search, so unless they are meant to be included I suggest contacting the host to avoid disclosing your entry to me; Artists/Songs not found; 03. Perfume - Electro World 10. Robyn feat. O.C. & Rahzel - Show Me Love (QD3 Fat Boy Remix) 15. Killer - Liar 16. PIPO ANGELS - Merry Go Round 17. K-Otic - I Surrender 20. Judith Durham - The Olive Tree 24. Little by Little - Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni 27. Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love I fail to believe that many songs from this contest are missing, so perhaps someone can be so kind to link any for me so I can add to the playlist.
August 17, 20222 yr Most of those are very readily available by just searching normally so not sure how you missed them... :kink: (there are a couple that are tagged under their Japanese titles + song 16 just has the wrong title in the OP (it's called 'Luvly,Merry-Go-Round' on Spotify) but the rest of those bar the Robyn remix are there with the exact tags they have in the OP). Perfume Killer PIPO☆Angel's K-otic Judith Durham Little By Little Mariya Takeuchi The Robyn remix is unavailable as posted earlier in the thread.
August 17, 20222 yr Without even listening to the songs I don’t know, I can already tell this is a killer contest. So many classics I look forward to revisiting. I was probably a bit more confident than I should have been with my selection because there’s some killer tracks here.

August 18, 20222 yr Would someone like me to host a listenthrough for this on Sunday evening? BJSC semis will likely take up next week’s time slots.
August 20, 20222 yr Author It's the same day as the Number 1s session in the Chart forum so I may be a bit music-ed out :lol: But I'll try and make it if that's what others want. YouTube playlist is below! playlist?list=PLAhAd2IoFl3H8az6cuS70OcM7gFuSLYLB

All I said is it’s the only day I can host, happy to join another day if someone else wants to host but BJSC semis are coming up too.
