February 15, 20241 yr Not going too badly overall but I’ve had 3 substantial losses in the last couple of days with Carole King, Linkin Park and Ten Walls. The latter is such a special instrumental - we don’t get many of those these days.
February 15, 20241 yr Walking with Elephants and This is What It Feels Like bring back some good memories from the mid-2010s, don't quite love them as much these days, but the former in particular still sounds great and it was wonderful that something like that was ever a hit.

February 15, 20241 yr Well this isn't going too well, another one of my top 5 gone :'( 19/2000 is one of Gorillaz's best, I know the Soulchild remix the best, but the original has a different and still great vibe too.
February 15, 20241 yr 'This Is What It Feels Like' is a bit of a banger! '19/2000' is probably my favourite Gorillaz song too, I quite enjoy both the original and the Soulchild remix.
February 15, 20241 yr Aww quite a few of my votes have fallen out over the past couple of days, with Jem's haunting 'They' the biggest loss.
February 16, 20241 yr Author 33. Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone 212pts Writer - Russ Ballard Top points - Mango 24, King Rollo 22, AH Gold 22 Rainbow were formed by ex-Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore in 1975. Those of us who entered the last retro song contest will remember the song 'Stargazer' which finished in 3rd place. That one had Ronnie James Dio as the lead singer but by 1979 when Since You've Been Gone was released, he had been replaced by Graham Bonnet. The song was a cover of a Russ Ballard single from 1976. Rainbow's next two singles both reached the top 5. 1P17ct4e5OE

Thirteen years later, they teamed up with Chaka Khan for this single which reached number 8. The 1989 remix went two places higher.

February 16, 20241 yr Maybe 'Ain't Nobody' will have a better shout in its original version in the #8s - that's the version I put my points towards this time anyway, not such a fan of the remix.
