August 17, 2025Aug 17 Adam And The Ants - AntmusicSpandau Ballet - To Cut A Long Story ShortDiana Ross - I'm Coming OutI’m going to stick at 3 this week as I don’t love any of the others. Antmusic is by far my favourite this week.
August 17, 2025Aug 17 Kool And The Gang - CelebrationAbba - Super TrouperJona Lewie - Stop The CavalryAdam And The Ants - AntmusicKate Bush - December Will Be Magic Again*Diana Ross and Blondie just outside, not a lot of great discoveries cos of all the Christmas silliness but Spandau Ballet, The Clash and Gary Numan were good songs I didn't already knowI don't usually do Worst, but I do want to single this rather heinous thing out (yes, St. Winifreds was better x)Mac Davis - It's Hard To Be Humble

August 24, 2025Aug 24 Author Yes, we're on a few weeks hiatus until 21 Sept when we launch into 1981.Until then, there's a three-way tie to break for the best song in the last session!

September 20, 2025Sep 20 Author As I'll now be a bit too busy tomorrow, I've decided it best to postpone the first session for 1981 by a week, so we'll resume the series on Sunday 28 September at 16:00.We still have the small matter of a three-way tie to break from the last 1980 session poll, but I'll give anyone who hasn't already voted 24 hours to do so. If we're still tied at 16:00 tomorrow, I'll run a tiebreaker poll in this thread, with the aim of finding a winner before next Sunday's session!
September 20, 2025Sep 20 Oh, I was looking forward to this finally being back this week :( feel like at this point we've skipped more weeks than not since these started...Anyway, I didn't vote yet so:ABBA - Super TrouperAdam And The Ants - AntmusicThe Clash - The Call UpJona Lewie - Stop The CavalryQueen - Flash'The Call Up' was my fave discovery of the week, honourable mentions to Robert Palmer, Kate Bush and The Boomtown Rats. Next faves of the ones I already knew would be Chas & Dave, Kool & The Gang and Daryl Hall & John Oates. Not as good as the previous weeks in general though.

September 28, 2025Sep 28 We are definitely back this week yes? x(I presume bonus songs will need to be split over a couple of weeks to catch up again)
September 28, 2025Sep 28 Author Yes we're definitely back at 16:00 today! We have maybe our most classic-laden session yet too! I'll probably split the bonuses over this week and next.Thanks for your votes, I think we have a clear winner of Week 7 now! I realised I can't react to my own posts, but it's the song I'd have voted for too.
September 28, 2025Sep 28 Author We begin 1981 from 4pm today, with 48 new songs from the first 7 weeks of the year!https://sync-tube.de/room/2gHBerpI
September 28, 2025Sep 28 Yay, looking forward to the return of this should be able to make the first couple of hours at the very least.
