shocked that Madness has only one vote!!

I thought Alice Deejay was a solo female. :lol:

I'm glad I'm not the only who made this mistake.

Nice to see Madness and The Pogues in there. Rum, Sodomy and the Lash is one of my favourite albums

Great to see The Pogues had a vote again! Just The Clash and The Beach Boys left from those for whom I was the only voter last time, and I'm also looking out for The Stone Roses and The Verve who had no votes at all.

I also thought Alice was solo :lol: how random

 

Expected to see Madness higher also!

 

still don’t think I’ve seen any of my votes leave :o

Alice Deejay had more members than most of the acts in here, and not one of them was called Alice :lol:

 

But Eurodance is confusing. We've already had the trio Sash! Cascada is a trio of a female singer (Natalie Horler) and two producers (Manian and Yanou), Ian Van Dahl was not a man called Ian but a duo including a producer and singer (Peter Luts and Annemie Coenen, with a different singer called Marsha on Castles In The Sky), and DJ Sammy many people initially thought was the singer of Heaven (a Dutch woman called Do), but is in fact a male Spanish DJ.

I definitely need to check out more Pixies (especially as I'm a big Nirvana fan and know they're inspired by them) - I have quite a few of their songs on my shuffle playlist but am yet to listen to a full album (yes even Doolittle, what a flop). My favourites of those I know are: 'Where Is My Mind?', 'Debaser', 'Gigantic' and 'Monkey Gone to Heaven'.

'Nine In The Afternoon' is still rightfully Panic's highest peaker

Only as a group - 'High Hopes' charted higher after Panic became a solo project!

 

Jeez how did I forget Soft Cell and Madness I love them both! They would deffo have made it had I remembered them!

Basement Jaxx and Eagles are great shouts !!

Lots of great dance acts in there. Cascada and 2 Unlimited were acts I contemplated. James too.

Oh, Bad Meets Evil finally gets revealed. :cheer:

 

and now my 19-pointer is not revealed yet. If I'm correct, I certainly know that at least one member would vote for this too! :D

Basement Jaxx's The Singles collection was my gateway into them, a very strong selection of hits :wub: I like what I know of their studio albums too, especially Rooty.

 

Love 'Vienna' and 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' but haven't heard any albums by Ultravox or Procol Harum.

 

I really like what I know of Air and Disclosure, was impressed by Moon Safari from the former and have heard all of the albums from the latter, Settle is particularly essential.

Another decent batch who all have some good songs but haven’t really listened to much of them (other than Cascada, who again I had no idea was a group!)

Basement Jaxx! Completely bypassed them in my rankings, might've thrown them a few points if I had remembered.

2 unlimited I loved back in the day and bought all there releases I dont listen to them as much thesevdays but still really enjoy some of their songs.

Very disappointing to see both Pendulum and Disclosure only getting the 1 voter, quite sure both would have made the list for me with the latter placing quite highly (I haven't got around to listening to their most recent album yet but I love all of the first three albums and the 'Moonlight' EP).

 

Plenty more acts out in the last few batches who I generally really like what I've heard from - Faithless, Ultravox, AIR, Basement Jaxx and De La Soul particularly.

 

I am always a bit surprised at people not knowing Cascada was a group, I guess they were marketed somewhat ambiguously but the name doesn't sound like a solo artist to me unlike Dario G/Alice Deejay etc.!

If I’d done this now Cascada would’ve got votes. I’ve only just started getting back into them this last week.
