August 21, 2024Aug 21 Three quality acts to kick off the top 50 (although U2 lose me after 2000 generally)
August 21, 2024Aug 21 U2 were one I really should’ve included in hindsight but somehow missed them! It’s funny when I do these lists I always seem to miss pretty big acts off and then remember when the results come in.
August 21, 2024Aug 21 Not too fussed on U2 or Beach Boys, both have good songs but not many I’d go back to Supremes are good, but again I don’t know too much of their stuff. Need to have a listen to more of these bands
August 21, 2024Aug 21 I'll have to suggest The Beach Boys for the next rate in the retro forum, either they've made a huge leap into the top 50 or, more likely, they've been snubbed without my 18 points from last time and some re-evaluation is needed :D Never in doubt :kink: I did think they would appeal to a few more voters this time around, it was only when the points rose above 100 that the doubts started to creep in. A full house of the groups who had my sole vote last time have appeared now :cheer: All three groups today got my vote last time, great to see The Supremes climb into the top 50 too. U2 had my 25 last time which would probably have kept them top 40, and I would have voted for them again if I'd charted 'Atomic City' last year, but alas.
August 22, 2024Aug 22 Amazing climb by The Beach Boys. Though I'll always think of this ad from growing up in the 90's in Australia when somewhen mentions them 5Potrkkkb30
August 22, 2024Aug 22 Nice climb for TLC Be interesting to see which group ‘forum’ is the first to leave! My prediction is it will be S Club! - S Club - Steps - Take That - One Direction - Sugababes - Girls Aloud - Little Mix - Spice Girls Is my prediction on the order the groups will go out. Edited August 22, 2024Aug 22 by spiceboy
August 22, 2024Aug 22 Can't believe I forgot U2! They should have made it into the lower end of my rating, maybe they might have just missed out tbf.
August 22, 2024Aug 22 My prediction is it will be S Club! - S Club - Steps - Sugababes - Girls Aloud - Spice Girls Is my prediction on the order the groups will go out. I think you’re spot on, with Take That going between Girls Aloud and Sugababes.
August 22, 2024Aug 22 I think you’re spot on, with Take That going between Girls Aloud and Sugababes. Ooh I forgot them, I'm gonna edit. I think Take That will be below Sugababes but above Steps!
August 22, 2024Aug 22 ^ One Direction and Little Mix the other two. As for The Beach Boys, I think they had one of the best runs of singles of all time in 1966 with “Barbara Ann”, “Sloop John B”, “God Only Knows” and “Good Vibrations”. That was definitely their zenith but they had some interesting more experimental later singles like “Heroes And Villians”.
August 22, 2024Aug 22 Pet Sounds was a truly game changing and incredible album that still sounded amazing today, one of my favourite discoveries from my album bucket list. U2 are one of my favourites, their discography has rough spots but at their best, they do anthems like no other.
