March 7, 20241 yr OMG so many good options this week as an early 80s fanatic. x Blancmange – Living on the Ceiling Depeche Mode – Just Can't Get Enough The Maisonettes – Heartache Avenue Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – Enola Gay Visage – Fade to Grey
March 7, 20241 yr Author Wow I had chosen 5 just from the #6s then ended up replacing them all :lol: Blancmange – Living on the Ceiling Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – Enola Gay Bob Marley and the Wailers – No Woman, No Cry (Live) Depeche Mode – Just Can't Get Enough XTC – Senses Working Overtime
March 8, 20241 yr ABBA – Lay All Your Love on Me Diana Ross & Lionel Richie – Endless Love :lol: Olivia Newton-John – Physical Bob Marley and the Wailers – No Woman, No Cry (Live) U2 – New Year's Day
March 8, 20241 yr A taste of Aggro, oh how I hated that record. Thankfully Ive avoided hearing it for decades. :yahoo: of the classic options outside the top 3's, ABBA – Lay All Your Love on Me Blancmange – Living on the Ceiling Fun Boy Three – Our Lips Are Sealed Visage – Fade to Grey Associates – Party Fears Two but a shout out to Oh Diane as it came on in the club I went to last week, rather unexpectedly it came over brilliantly, especially the extended outro orgasm noises.
March 9, 20241 yr ABC - Poison Arrow Hall & Oates - Maneater ABBA - Lay All Your Love On Me OMD - Enola Gay Visage - Fade To Grey
March 10, 20241 yr Blancmange – Living on the Ceiling Visage – Fade to Grey Echo & the Bunnymen – The Cutter A Flock of Seagulls – Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You) Associates – Party Fears Two The Teardrop Explodes - Reward Eurythmics - Love Is A Stranger Tom Robinson - War Baby The Pretenders – I Go to Sleep :( Some very eighties selections there :lol:
March 10, 20241 yr I see OMD and Visage are safe and...most of my other favourites aren't nominated yet, so one can hope x Laura Branigan - Gloria Queen – Another One Bites the Dust Bob Marley and the Wailers – No Woman, No Cry (Live) Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five – The Message Kim Carnes – Bette Davis Eyes
March 10, 20241 yr There are so many of my favourites here, the only way to narrow it down to five is to avoid anything with no votes or more than two votes so this is a tactical vote: Depeche Mode – Just Can't Get Enough XTC – Senses Working Overtime Associates – Party Fears Two ABC - Poison Arrow A Flock of Seagulls – Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You) For the RIP slot can we have something by Steve Lawrence? We had his number 3 with Eydie Gormé, 'I Want To Stay Here', a few weeks ago so I think either his UK number 4 hit, 'Footsteps', or his US number 1, 'Go Away Little Girl'.
March 10, 20241 yr Will be sad to miss this week but there's no way I'll be able to make it on Mother's Day haha. Like all of these in particular but I'll choose the 5 bold ones: The Teardrop Explodes - Reward Tenpole Tudor - Swords Of A Thousand Men The Human League - Open Your Heart The Human League - Being Boiled Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out George Benson – Give Me the Night ABBA – Lay All Your Love on Me Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – Enola Gay Visage – Fade to Grey Depeche Mode – Just Can't Get Enough Associates - Party Fears Two Hall & Oates – I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) Patrice Rushen – Forget Me Nots Duran Duran – Rio Stevie Wonder – Do I Do
March 10, 20241 yr Author Starting at 16:00 - the OP link still doesn't recognise me so I've set up a temporary room again: https://sync-tube.de/room/qHwPjiRC
March 10, 20241 yr Queen – Another One Bites the Dust Dire Straits – Romeo and Juliet Patrice Rushen – Forget Me Nots Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five – The Message Kim Carnes – Bette Davis Eyes I'd pick these but I think they're safe ABBA – Lay All Your Love on Me Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – Enola Gay
March 10, 20241 yr Queen - Another One Bites The Dust ABBA - Lay All Your Love On Me Visage - Fade To Grey Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message A Flock Of Seagulls - Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You) I know we've heard 'Lay All Your Love On Me' multiple times already, idc xox
