Posted September 12, 20222 yr Welcome to the very first edition of The Best Song Contest in the World.....Ever! , the contest that the Pre-2000s forum has been waiting for. In a poll which was run in February 2021, the theme of 80s synths was the most popular choice and here finally the contest begins. If you would like to enter, please confirm a song by next Sunday. Your entry must be a synth based song that was first released as a single or an album track from 1980 to 1989. UK top 10 singles will not be allowed and any other top 40 singles may also be vetoed by the mods if they consider them to be too well remembered. The song also can't have been submitted to any previous song contest on Buzzjack. Here are the archives for you to check (some of them are not up to date): Unknown Pleasures BJSC Club Bizarre PFSC This is an anonymous contest so please do not reveal which song is yours until you have been unmasked in the results thread. Please send your entries by PM to myself with details of the artist, the song title and a youtube link. It's first come, first served so if there are any artist clashes or song clashes, I will let you know. Confirmations close on Sunday 18th September Entered: King Rollo Daan gooddelta Roba!

September 13, 20222 yr I've just remembered a recent brilliant discovery so I've confirmed that :wub:
September 13, 20222 yr Indeed… it doesn’t have to be something that is completely unknown. A lot of forum members won’t have been alive first time around so we’re really just looking for tracks that aren’t really well known these days. Definitely nothing that would typically make a best of the 80s compilation but less well remembered top 40 singles are fine if you’re struggling. Or album tracks from bigger artists would also be fine.
September 13, 20222 yr confrmed an entry (B side, though it was re-recorded in a much inferior version in the 90's) but Ive LOADS of alternatives if the fellow mod vote/Rollo swings another way.. :lol: I'm assuming we can enter too!
September 13, 20222 yr I have also entered. Not sure at all, really didn't have many options for this category.

September 13, 20222 yr I wasn't too sure at first as I love 80s synths, but only really know the hit songs, but had a brainwave that I'm in love with (which may still be well known to a few, but I'm hoping not to many x)
September 13, 20222 yr Sorry to be a pain (the pressure of a debut entry to a new contest :kink:) but I've reconfirmed as I've just thought of something else that I like even more, I promise that'll be it now.
September 14, 20222 yr after 2 vetos I finally got a song thru :) was hard to tell what has already been submitted by others to other contests
September 14, 20222 yr Author 10 entries received. So far, there are no artist clashes. Keep them coming.
September 16, 20222 yr I don't listen to a great deal of pre 2000s stuff anyway, certainly not which is obscure, so unlikely to have much to enter into these contests. However this is one theme where I do have something, from a band I shazamed on a TV show set in the 80s a few years back!
September 16, 20222 yr Author We're now up to 17 entries and every year of the decade is now represented.
September 16, 20222 yr I, rather embarrassingly for a mod, had to have my entry sort of disallowed by Rollo!!!! :lol:
