July 29, 2024Jul 29 I’m getting excited because three of my acts who are outside the top 100 last time are yet to come! It would be amazing if they could all climb into the top 100.
July 29, 2024Jul 29 Author Sorry to bring this up Gezza, a couple of days late as just spotted but I didn't vote Supergrass :kink: think you've mixed my 26 up for someone elses oops. You're quite right- my mistake! (though I think my first error so far so I'll still call that a victory!)- spreadsheet altered!
July 29, 2024Jul 29 Placebo used to love them ❤️ Surprised to see Honeyz so high too but should have guessed really all the girl bands do well, do love some of their stuff
July 29, 2024Jul 29 Great to see The Kinks up there and the first couple of Placebo albums are decent enough too
July 29, 2024Jul 29 I'd probably have given Placebo a small handful of points if I'd remembered them. Minor correction needed to their entry - Pure Morning was also a #4 peak.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Love Honeyz, their opening run of those five top 10 singles are all 9/10+ for me, especially the first three, which are all among my all-time favourites and for that alone meant I had to remember to include them.

July 30, 2024Jul 30 Love a bit of Blink :wub: although sadly I didn't have enough room for them in my votes! 10cc were OK, I've heard a fair bit by them but I only really like a couple of their bigger hits, namely 'Dreadlock Holiday' and 'I'm Not In Love', both pretty iconic songs *.* (although 'Donna' also deserves a mention!) The two or three Delirious? songs I've heard are good ('Deeper' in particular) but I'm not familiar with them beyond that.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Author I bring bad news............Another 30 pointer won't be going further than tomorrow!
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Blink! A little fall but glad there still pretty high up! Don’t really know any 10cc apart from I’m Not in Love No idea who Delrious? are!
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Blink 182 are another of the long list of bands I could have voted for but didn't. Don't even know who Delirious are.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Delerious? are/were a christian band - not sure if they were a band who happen to be christian, or whether they also made songs about christianity/faith too. They aren't that well known outside of that circle really, their biggest hit was as a result of a download campaign for a song that had been around much longer than 2010 but seemed to be a particular favourite among their fans
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Belatedly The Kinks were brilliant and so consistent with their singles. My Top 5 are “You Really Got Me”, “All Day And All Of The Night”, “Tired Of Waiting For You”, “Waterloo Subset” and “Days”.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Delerious? are/were a christian band - not sure if they were a band who happen to be christian, or whether they also made songs about christianity/faith too. They aren't that well known outside of that circle really, their biggest hit was as a result of a download campaign for a song that had been around much longer than 2010 but seemed to be a particular favourite among their fans I knew them as an indie/pop band in the late 90s before I knew they were a Christian band. I don't think all their songs were about religion but 'I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever' was definitely about God. EDIT: I'd completely forgotten about the 'History Makers' campaign in 2010, that was a great song! Edited July 30, 2024Jul 30 by Mangø
July 30, 2024Jul 30 I really like Rubber Bullets but somehow I've never been able to embrace the brilliance of 10CC. I feel the same about ELO. Loads of obviously great songs but they kind of bore me. I think it may be that my earliest musical memories are around Punk Rock and so much beforehand seemed less exciting when I was young and maybe I've never got passed that for some bands.
