June 14Jun 14 Author Also to confirm there's no session next week, but I may close the poll then - or move to a tiebreak if it's tied, so we'll have a winner before we start 1984 on 28 June, back at the usual time of 4pm!

June 14Jun 14 Not the best selection and not a lot of upbeat electronic tracks but there are still good tracks.Howard Jones - What Is Love?Yes - Owner Of A Lonely HeartBlancmange - That's Love, That It IsThe Pretenders - 2000 MilesThe Smiths - This Charming ManGenesis - That's AllPaul Young - Love Of The Common PeopleWhat Is Love? is better than 'New Song' and tackles a big question with great atmopheric 80s pop even if Howard Jones himself doesn't have the best voice. I have known and liked the song for a long time! It even has a weird Nero style dubstep type bit in it after the first chorus.'Owner Of A Lonely Heart' is very good too it even has a breakbeat bit in it before the guitar solo.Blancmange have a good Hi-NRG song that sounds like it will influence Dead or Alive and Bronski Beat - Why.Pretenders '2000 Miles' is such a lovely song and Smiths 'This Charming Man' a good and upbeat tune. 'That's All' is a catchy jazz piano tune. 'Love of The Common People' always reminds me of Noah and The Whale LIFEGOESON the melody is so similar. Edited June 14Jun 14 by TheSnake

June 28Jun 28 Author We move into another year at 4pm, with 42 songs from the first 6 weeks of 1984!https://sync-tube.de/room/2gHBerpI
June 28Jun 28 May be a little late again but only a song or two x(My bad for not reading the thread I guess but why was the poll closed a week early? I'm sure we haven't ever done that before - I'll post my late votes in a bit for posterity (I caught up on the songs I missed last Sunday), 'This Charming Man' will be in my 5 anyway so wouldn't have affected the winner...)
June 28Jun 28 Author I've usually done it if there's a gap between years - means we can sort out tiebreaks in the second week if needed before moving into the next year.Anyway, there's a big one to start 1984 with this week!
