October 20Oct 20 yay 2 former BJSC tracks from me in this batch! 🙂I'm surprised Eddy Grant isnt on Spotify, must be a decision he made as he has been involved in getting the entire Equals catalogue out there of late, one of the forgotten pioneer bands of the 60's. One Day In Your Life (should be in 1975 though) - Michael JacksonIs Vic There - Department SBette Davis Eyes - Kim CarnesSound Of The Crowd - Human LeagueBeing With You - Smokey RobinsonThis doesnt include some chart-toppers in my charts from George H, REO Sp, Adam & Ants...!
October 20Oct 20 The 5 best:The Clash - The Magnificent SevenFreeez - Flying HighThe Undertones - It's Going To Happen!Kraftwerk - Pocket CalculatorSqueeze - Is That LoveThe worst:Hazel O'Connor - Will You
October 25Oct 25 Not 100% sure of my votes yet but Pocket Calculator - Is That Love? - All Those Years Ago - Will You? might be my favourite run of the series.

October 25Oct 25 'Bette Davis Eyes' sounds more mid 80s pop than early 80s to me!'Sound of the Crowd' good song for Human League! I heard on here that they used different single colour art for singles they deemed pop or dance, Sound of The Crowd I would say would be more dance for them!

Sunday at 22:235 days Linx - Throw Away The Key - really catchyVisage - Visage - one of their better tracksUltravox - All Stood Still - good dance beatSpandau Ballet - Chant No 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On) - I like the guitar in it (which was also originally sampled in Rui da Silva - Touch Me)Depeche Mode - New Life - perhaps the best of their early songsEvelyn King - I'm In Love - nice summer post-disco hit - it has a cool synth bassline and house-like piano in itthe Imagination track is tooooo slow for me! The Evasions - Wikka Rap is a good comedy track though! Edited Sunday at 22:325 days by TheSnake

Tuesday at 02:394 days Caught up with the songs I missed and I'm sad I missed out on a communal listen of that 'Teddy Bear' thing. Added 5 more songs to my playlist making 17 in total for the week, still a big step down from the week before but a few big faves among those anyway. It is going to be all songs I knew already getting my votes this week:ABBA - Lay All Your Love On MeBruce Springsteen - The RiverKraftwerk - Computer LoveKraftwerk - The ModelThe Specials - Ghost TownBut good discoveries from Ultravox, Kate Bush and Motörhead. Feel like the Gillan song is worth a shoutout too as I wasn't there for it on SyncTube and I kind of loved how ridiculous and over the top it was, practically Tenacious D esque. Other gooduns I already knew as well from Spandau Ballet and Depeche Mode (I think, sounded familiar at least).
