Posted December 19, 20231 yr Good evening to all the 20th century retro heads. This is just a post to alert all you wonderful people to the BuzzJack curated compilations project that myself, gooddelta and awardinary have undertaken. The launch thread just went live in the Pop forum. We'd love your support and feed back as we progress. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=268087 Edited October 3, 2024Oct 3 by King Rollo
December 30, 20231 yr Hope you don't mind but I'm popping a copy of the 1989 one in here as well as I think maybe a potentially different set of people will see it here than in pop.
December 30, 20231 yr And I've had a go at compiling how I'd order them (my order is biased by what I like and what I want to shove on to disc 4 so that I don't have to listen to that one :lol: ) - assume this is okay and nobody would mind Disc 1: 01 Madonna - Like a Prayer 02 Bangles - Eternal Flame 03 Kylie Minogue - Hand On Your Heart 04 Donna Summer - This Time I Know It’s For Real 05 Paul Abdul - Straight Up 06 New Kids On The Block - You Got It (The Right Stuff) 07 Lisa Stansfield - All Around the World 08 Roachford - Cuddly Toy 09 Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy 10 Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus 11 Michael Jackson - Leave Me Alone 12 Janet Jakson - Rhythm Nation 13 Martika - Toy Soldiers 14 Holly Johnson - Love Train 15 London Boys - Requiem 16 Erasure - Drama 17 Boy Meets Girl - Waiting For a Start To Fall 18 Liza Minelli - Losing My Mind 19 The Beautiful South - Song For Whoever 20 Sam Brown - Stop 21 Kate Bush - This Woman’s Work Disc 2: 01 Black Box - Ride On Time 02 Technotronic feat.

January 1, 20241 yr Author Great idea to post it here, Dandy. Thanks Are we to assume that anything on Disc 4 is disliked by you? :D Of course, I will judge your sequencing in the manner that I judge sequencing on Now compilations :arrr: Disc 1 16 Erasure - Drama 17 Boy Meets Girl - Waiting For a Start To Fall 18 Liza Minelli - Losing My Mind 19 The Beautiful South - Song For Whoever 20 Sam Brown - Stop 21 Kate Bush - This Woman’s Work Disc 2 03 Inner City - Good Life 04 Sydney Youngblood - If Only I Could 05 Pet Shop Boys - It’s Alright 06 Lil’ Louis - French Kiss Please make it stop :snif: Edited January 1, 20241 yr by Colm
January 1, 20241 yr I didn't actually listen to it but I did very consciously pop Sydney Youngblood and the PSBs among the house tracks on the basis that It's Alright was a pretty faithful cover of the Sterling Void track and If Only I Could was basically based around Raze 'Break 4 Love' Admittedly the last few on disc one were the ones that I had left over but liked too much to be chucked on disc 4 - which you are correct in concluding I largely dislike them, although Gloria Estefan is a little hard done by :lol:
January 1, 20241 yr Author 09 Marc Almond feat. Gene Pitney - Something’s Gotten Hold of My Heart 13 Linda Ronstadt & Aaron Neville - Don’t Know Much 17 Prince - Batdance These are amazing.

January 2, 20241 yr I think you made a typing error *dandy - i think you meant to put Roy and Bananarama on disc 3 and bung Deacon Blue and Mike & The Mechanics on disc 4 :lol:
January 2, 20241 yr Also, you introduce Will to Power only to put them on disc 4? :D Haha yes! I did start to just list things to see what I thought should be included and thought that was a big enough hit and was even bigger worldwide but I don’t like it… also looked at the big album sellers of the year so ended up with Chris Rea and INXS etc just because it seemed like those songs were popular enough to shift albums. But then I got bored and rushed the rest in 30 mins before we went out the other day. Plus I liked the original choices on the whole
January 2, 20241 yr I think you made a typing error *dandy - i think you meant to put Roy and Bananarama on disc 3 and bung Deacon Blue and Mike & The Mechanics on disc 4 :lol: I don’t mind either of those but being awful wasn’t the only disc 4 criteria - they both definitely fit with the retro vibe of the beginning of the disc
January 8, 20241 yr I would have chose London Nights instead of Requiem and also added Tyree Cooper - Turn Up The Bass but it is a great tracklist!
