April 22, 20241 yr Mobiles (Berlin), Mini Viva (Tokyo), Jay-Z and Kanye (Paris), ELO (London), The Clash (London), Ultravox (Vienna) all very good choices Cow P, spiceboy and Jade each almost certainly took Rollo's potential entries (Murray Head, ELO and Ultravox). :cheeseblock: Edited April 22, 20241 yr by TheSnake
April 22, 20241 yr Cow P, spiceboy and Jade each almost certainly took Rollo's potential entries (Murray Head, ELO and Ultravox). :cheeseblock: Yes, those are all very good. I have already used ELO for the song that tells a story and Vienna might have been too obvious. I haven't used 10cc yet so do I go for One Night In Paris or Tokyo? I think I'll pick the former. 10cc - Une Nuit A Paris 2C_regWPVBs
April 22, 20241 yr Author There's a few songs I could have gone for today (including one with TWO capital cities in the title, I wonder if anyone will pick that one!) I know the one you mean too, and it did cross my mind. Perhaps if someone like Dan will return with a dance friendly choice and will put it out there! ;)
April 22, 20241 yr I know the one you mean too, and it did cross my mind. Perhaps if someone like Dan will return with a dance friendly choice and will put it out there! ;) If it's the one I'm thinking of then there are two versions of that and a different city mentioned in each
April 22, 20241 yr Author April 23rd – A song you like by someone who went solo from a band challenged by Linds. Soloists unite! This day’s challenge, courtesy of our very own Linds. is all about finding songs by solo artists who were formerly in a band. This could be artists who continue to be attached to a band or ones who walked out and haven’t returned. I’m sure there are many choices to make, and as always, try to find unique artists for the day and songs not previously used during the event. :dance: Aimee Mann – Humpty Dumpty {nominated by dandy*} Annie Lennox – No More "I Love You's" {nominated by The Snake} Björk – Unravel {nominated by Bjork} Diana Ross – I’m Coming Out {nominated by spiceboy} Don Henley – The Heart Of The Matter {nominated by Riser} Dr. Dre – Nuthin' But A G Thang {nominated by Y'all Starlight} Dusty Springfield – I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten {nominated by JulianT} Emma Bunton – Maybe {nominated by Yobnedor} Fatlip – What’s Up Fatlip? {nominated by LewisGT} Floor Jansen – Fire {nominated by uhsting} George Harrison – My Sweet Lord {nominated by Jade} George Michael – Faith {nominated by Mack.} Gustavo Cerati – Tabu {nominated by Ansel} Gwen Stefani – Hollaback Girl {nominated by awardinary} Hayley Williams – Sudden Desire {nominated by Linds.} Ice Cube – It Was A Good Day {nominated by Severin} Jane Wiedlin – Rush Hour {nominated by Hadji} John Fogerty – The Old Man Down The Road {nominated by Scene} KWON EUNBI – Glitch {nominated by Cowboy Cody} Louis Tomlinson – Two Of Us {nominated by Cow P} Melanie C – I Turn To You {nominated by Mangø} Michelle Williams – We Break The Dawn {nominated by Tafty³³³} Midge Ure – If I Was {nominated by jimwatts} Pa Sheehy – Wretched {nominated by PeteFromLeeds} Peter Gabriel – Signal To Noise {nominated by King Rollo} Phil Collins – In The Air Tonight {nominated by Chez Wombat} Rachel Stevens – Some Girls {nominated by JosephBoone} Robbie Williams – Advertising Space {nominated by Roba.} Siobhan Donaghy – Don’t Take Me Back {nominated by Herbs} Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Get Over You {nominated by gooddelta} ——————————— 30 NOMINATIONS ——————————— WATCHLIST DalekTurret32 danG Dexton isanka k👠th Liam RobBot seven.

April 22, 20241 yr Easily thinking of Louis Tomlinson. His song about his mother was a huge radio hit in Indonesia, though it was nowhere near the streaming charts. 5oX_gwwACls Would've easily nominated Silver Tongues too, but I'll pick the ballad one after recent conversations during the BJSC listenthrough.

April 22, 20241 yr April 23rd – A song you like by someone who went solo from a band NSkboTTTmpg This I remember a lot from the time, very nostalgic. I like the synths and backing vocals especially
April 22, 20241 yr Figured to dodge using 'Feel' which is my overall fave by him so giving attention another of Robbie's lesser but still enduring tracks. AHU-8yb11CQ?si=riJO7AAOhqdylPfG
