Featured Replies

If I end up in second place and losing to the U.S.U.R.A song... I will be cursing myself for giving it 12 points cry

  • More fun celeb child names facts - I just realized Alanis Morissette's two sons are called Winter (my entry) and Ever (as in... The Best Song Contest in the World... Ever!)

    I thought Julian would have voted for Peter Gabriel. I forgot to allow for the possibility that it was his entry

    Limousine was produced by MIchael Cretu (Enigma) btw.

Thanks Dandy and AllStar for some points! The artists you sent were always likely to do well here, but Dummy is one of my favourite albums so had to reward the song with high points.

Entry: Out Of Order – Tears


Perhaps unsurprisingly @Dobbo found an absolute banger of a dance record that nobody had heard of before, and delighted us with some wonderful early house music from the 90s.

Leapfrogging again is the Infinity track, but Dobbo himself isn't doing too badly so far.

@King Rollo I choose you... to be next.

Dobbo bringing a megabanger out of the vault there, shame this one isn't on streaming - I'll need to source a local file for my shuffle playlist, I notice there is a release of this song on Bandcamp but it's listed as being vinyl only although appears you can download a digital version of a clip of the song... for £1,000 cheeseblock seems worth it x

Still waiting for my Onyx ascent. 🥲

It's still mathematically very possible!

I really was expecting USURA to be Dobbo so color me surprised. Great entry from him regardless!!!

And thank you for the points <3

King Rollo

Entry: Queen – Liar

One of the few entries that actually had a music video certainly assisted @King Rollo in his attempt at a smash hit. One of Queen's earliest ever recordings this was, and one many weren't familiar with.

Thanks to Wardy for stepping in to host this contest. My 12 points go to the song I already knew. Intruder is one of the songs that Peter Gabriel also recorded in the German language and I did consider sending it to the foreign language edition we had last time but I thought it would be against the spirit of the contest to enter an English singer to that one. This is my vote:

12pts - Peter Gabriel - Intruder

10 - Space Art – Onyx

8 - Ted Nugent - Stranglehold

7 - Happy Rhodes - Winter

6 - Ministry - Revenge

5 - Bows - Rockets

4 - Deep Forest - Gathering

3 - Christoph De Babalon – Water

2 - Wonky Alice – Caterpillars

1 - Hubert Kah – Limousine

As we reach the final 5 votes of the night, things are getting very interesting at the top...

We turn our attention to @Suedehead2 next!

I had heard the Queen track once before in an old rate - thought it was a little better than I rated it at the time.

Suedehead2

Entry: Wonky Alice – Caterpillars

The rather peculiar piece by Wonky Alice was the brave selection by @Suedehead2 which ticked the ears of many of the alt crowd on the listenthrough.

No change at the top, but the song everybody is talking about is preparing a very late surge... there are only 3 votes left to reveal, and one of those is our current leader.

I think it's only right at this time that we hear what @Nine And ¾ has to say about all of this.

On the scoreboard, it looks like a forum member called Astrological Mix has entered the song in 1st place.

So true!! 😂
