February 27, 20241 yr In The Morning is lovely and my only loss from today though I do really like Cardigan. I’m surprised even a Britney fan would consider that one of the greatest ever #6 hits but I guess the beauty of these things is the different perspectives. :D Edited February 27, 20241 yr by JulianT

February 29, 20241 yr "Live a live, you will remember." :wub: Still my fave Avicii song ever. One of the songs that made me become an EDM fan in 2018, even though people were spamming "dead", "golden era", "sucks" that time on the internet. Didn't know its title when I heard it on a local sports programme. Didn't even know it's also an EDM song at first. Edited February 29, 20241 yr by Cow P
February 29, 20241 yr That whole era was Avicii at his peak, he really did craft some brilliant music.

February 29, 20241 yr Author 35.

February 29, 20241 yr Hmm today was not a good day - I voted for everything except Little Mix. Some big 80s classics there, though at least Depeche Mode’s best song will be in the final. And if it turns out that The Boxer only missed the final because John didn’t vote there’ll be words… :arrr: :angry: :cry:
February 29, 20241 yr Oops I voted for everything today (plus 'The Nights' so 6 in a row), including 3 of my top 7 from this semi with those 80s classics :( Journey's is the only one I might have expected through, but understandably it may have suffered from play of the over variety.
February 29, 20241 yr The Boxer feels far too low, a real classic :o Don't Stop Believin' too I guess, though that one has definitely been played enough times to last me a lifetime.
March 1, 20241 yr It looks like people voted right in this semi-final round. Almost all boring/non relevant songs already out.
