June 4Jun 4 I know exactly 2 songs too (both songs that I was considering sending). I'm about halfway through a listen and I've already made a couple of really lovely discoveries
June 6Jun 6 Having had a listen through, I have heard just 3 of those songs before (including my own)... possibly 4 if the Annerley song is a random track that you get on those arcade dance machines. It sounds slightly familiar and that popped into my head as a place I may have heard it 🤣
June 6Jun 6 I've voted early as I'm on holiday next week. It was a good contest with songs from different decades and genres. I liked more than 10 songs so not all of them could be included in my vote.
June 8Jun 8 of the ones I know, Obession is a long-time fave, Icicle Works is good, and some of the entries are really interesting to see, like Zager & Evans, helen reddy, Modern Talking, Shocking Blue....🤗
June 8Jun 8 Doing multiple listen throughs and eliminating two songs each time. Man there is a lot of 80’s music……
June 8Jun 8 Have sent my votes in.No brainer for my top score as it's one of my favourite songs ever written. 2nd was an easy choice too. I knew most of the artists but glad to say there were a fair few tracks I didn't know and some song choices I wouldn't have expected from those I did know
June 8Jun 8 The Alphaville, Mr Oizo and Cicero versions have been changed on the Spotify playlist since it was first made.
June 9Jun 9 I've listened through a couple of times now, am definitely thinking this will be the contest where my run of top 10 finishes comes crashing down!

June 10Jun 10 Voted!I was quite sure what I imagined my 12 would be when I saw the list and it hasn't transpired like that at all, loads of good discoveries here and proof that so many of these acts deserved better than to be one hit wonders.One of my most interesting discoveries is that Sounds Like A Melody was sampled by Cappella for U Got 2 Let The Music, that's such a great riff and I didn't realise it wasn't theirs until now!

Right?

June 10Jun 10 I still honestly have no idea (never have any idea) who anyone is. I guess that makes it more fun for me
June 10Jun 10 There's a couple I've got a good idea on who they might be but equally wouldn't be shocked if those were wrong.
