June 28, 2024Jun 28 Some great groups in the last few sections - Jungle, LCD Soundsystem, Pigeon Detectives, Hard-Fi and Zero 7 all have good songs!
June 28, 2024Jun 28 Underworld only getting one voter is a crime! Quite shocked to see The White Stripes with only one vote too (and apparently none last time). Good to see System Of A Down appearing here.
June 28, 2024Jun 28 I don't know enough by SOAD or Underworld to vote for them, but what I do know is brilliant. Born Slippy is an all time classic and I have a soft sport for Caliban's Dream (soundtrack to the lighting of the 2012 cauldron). But those are the only two I really know. Ditto Toxicity and Chop Suey from SOAD.
June 28, 2024Jun 28 The White Stripes a new entry and me the only voter? Criminal, they weren't around a long time but one of the most influential bands from the 21st Century. Underworld are amazing from what I know of them, just not that aware of them outside of the well known singles.

June 29, 2024Jun 29 A lot of great acts there, Hot Chocolate specifically I didn't vote for that had many classic tracks. Wasn't expecting KISS yet oops and sole voter at that. Seen them twice and they were fab. Lots of tunes.
June 29, 2024Jun 29 I think my favourite piece of chart trivia is that Hot Chocolate are the only act to have a hit in every year of the 1970s.
June 29, 2024Jun 29 I lost two on the same day. I'm glad someone else voted for Guillemots. Hot Chocolate released many good singles and the four hits that Trevor Horn produced with Dollar are all fine pop songs. Gezza, who voted for Dollar?
June 29, 2024Jun 29 The Specials are the first of the groups I voted for last time to appear, well.done Ed for keeping them afloat. EBTG appear a day later than I expected - I really like both their #3s, even the Rod cover, but especially 'Missing' :wub: with many more gems from their chart debut 'Each And Every One' to 'No One Knows We're Dancing' which I charted last year. The Levellers are here via BJSC hit 'Down By The River 'O'' but they had many a great song in the 90s - even alongside the hits, 'Riverflow', 'Maid Of The River' and 'Forgotten Ground' are three of their best.
June 29, 2024Jun 29 A great batch here!! And The Doobie Brothers making top 300 even if I was the only voter. :cheer:
June 29, 2024Jun 29 Madison Avenue :o I did like their hits. Fugees feels like one that sholud have received more than one vote, for how influential they were, and with all three members going on to have successful solo careers too which is rare.
June 29, 2024Jun 29 EBTG appear a day later than I expected - I really like both their #3s, even the Rod cover, Technically, it's not a Rod Stewart cover as his version is also a cover. Originally by Crazy Horse (Neil Young's sometime backing group) and their version is, for me, easily the best.
June 29, 2024Jun 29 Great to see the Specials and Levellers in this batch. The latter's legendary 1992 Glastonbury show is still among the best gigs I've ever experienced and their 1994 headline slot apparently still holds the record for biggest Glastonbury audience ever and to be fair it was pretty mental too.
June 29, 2024Jun 29 As said above some great bands - The Specials, Levellers and KISS stand out for me personally. Expected KISS to be higher.
June 29, 2024Jun 29 KISS are a bit of a mixed bag for me. The early stuff is great but by the time the 80s came around their stuff doesn't really interest me
June 30, 2024Jun 30 Underworld are a great electronic band, they’re far more than just Born Slippy. Their Second Toughest in the Infants album was one of my gateway albums into dance music and it’s still a favourite today… and of course their music for the 2012 olympics is just stunning, both songs are 10/10 worthy and still give me goosebumps
June 30, 2024Jun 30 Fugees and Kiss with only 1 voter :o shocker, but tbf I didn’t voted for them either.
