October 28, 20222 yr ^ I think we just meant to judge all the songs as though they were out now. We might have a more visceral hatred for a more recent song because of the memories associated with it, or conversely we might have nostalgia for it, whereas the older ones we might just not really have strong feelings associated either way. Just to be aware of that, but I’m sure people will anyway! :)
October 28, 20222 yr I'll be voting in this before the deadline ^_^ just skim read the grand finalists and there's 16 I need to hear (a couple I've already heard before but just to re familiarise myself more than anything). Edited October 28, 20222 yr by Happy Robaween!
October 28, 20222 yr 6 of them I really like actually (I can be a bit sentimental mind), a half dozen or so I need to check out but lots of crap on there to rank!
October 28, 20222 yr I think I actually at least kind of like a good half of this list lol (ok half is a slight exaggeration, but maybe like 15/40 or so)
October 28, 20222 yr There are 1979 and 1987 re-runs of TOTP today (on top of the usual 1993 ones at the moment) and I just had to endure the Lena Martell song again in the former :arrr: :lol:
October 28, 20222 yr They have 1979 and 1983 re-runs of TOTP today (on top of the usual 1993 ones at the moment) and just had to endure the Lena Martell song again in the former :arrr: :lol: Haha me too. I have some affection for my 1 pointer but otherwise I can’t say I like any of the finalists! By the way I’ve added up the scores from the first 15 voters and it’s ridiculously close (3 points separating the Top 3). And what I expected to win isn’t even in the Top 3. So it’s all to play for!
October 29, 20222 yr Poor brave Wizzard only get a #1 of sorts with IWICBCE by featuring on Jive Bunny lmao. Edited October 29, 20222 yr by Happy Robaween!
October 29, 20222 yr Voted. I don't like any of these so it was more difficult to decide the low points scores than the high ones.
October 29, 20222 yr Poor brave Wizzard only get a #1 of sorts with IWICBCE by featuring on Jive Bunny lmao. The version of 'Let's Party' I liisten to (mainly because I reg listen to EOY Top 100 playlsits has Mariah Carey instead of Gary Glitter. Talking of which, notice no Gary Glitter or Rolf Harris. Is that because their songs were deemed good or excluded because of their controversy would cloud people's judgement?

Ha well you didn’t have to be good to not be nominated, just not in the worst 100 of the 1,400 Number Ones there have been. And yes we didn’t think Two Little Boys and the Glitter ones were all that bad. Plus I couldn’t very well insist that everyone rank every song and listen to any they don’t know if it was one of those. 20+ voters now - thanks and keep them coming! :cheer:
October 29, 20222 yr Fair enough and they won't get any royalties based on people checking their stuff out!
October 29, 20222 yr I remember the Rolf Harris song being pretty bad tbf... :teresa: (the Glitter ones maybe not quite as much but they weren't exactly amazing pieces of music either) But yeah I won't complain at not being compelled to relisten :P
October 29, 20222 yr 22 sets of votes counted and still just 6 points between the Top 2 with 3rd to 6th not far behind, so 1 voter could more than swing it!
October 29, 20222 yr Voted now. I mean i don't overly dislike much from +01 to +25 really but then again most of these are very much not something I'd want to hear again either and average and silly #1's all the same. The top 9 I personally don't think are as bad as a lot of these included though, I don't love anything in that group though but they are ok for me. Edited October 29, 20222 yr by Happy Robaween!
October 30, 20222 yr 12 hours or so left for this! Want it to be as representative a survey as possible.
