March 16Mar 16 I shall be awaiting a Robyn victory.And if something else wins then I’ll be editing Rollo’s posts with the correct result.

You gave it 34 and 22 points. I didn't notice that at the time. One of these scores should be for Yesterday by the Beatles which doesn't appear in your vote. Can you let me know which one of these scores is for Shocking Blue and which one is for The Beatles. Thanks.
Monday at 21:425 days Author @Scone1 Further to that, I've now noticed you gave two scores for Bat Out Of Hell (31 and 19) and no score for In The End. Can you also let me know what your scores should be for those two songs. Thanks.

What The World Is Waiting For was originally intended to be the A side but the record label's A&R man really liked Fools Gold. The band were not convinced so the single ended up as a double A side. Fools Gold is now obviously the better known song.

Plastic Bertrand's real name is Roger Jouret. Both he and the song's writer, Lou Deprijck, have claimed to be the vocalist on its recording. Plastic Bertrand had one more top 40 hit and went on to represent Luxembourg in the 1987 Eurovision Song Contest, finishing in 21st place out of 22.

Fools Gold one of the greatest indie anthems and one of the first to adopt dance music, standing out from everything else including their own fantastic debut album, it was way ahead of its time. Psychedelic funk at its best, I think the band were possessed by the spirit of Sly Stone when they recorded it!

They went on to have two more top 10 singles, 'My Immortal' and 'Call Me When You're Sober'.
Tuesday at 20:474 days I noticed 'Ça plane pour moi' being pelted with +1 scores, so that finishing low is not a surprise, but didn't clock Stone Roses performing poorly in the final at all, aw 😪'Fools Gold' is a classic.
Tuesday at 20:514 days Oh that's a really disappointing last placer, Fools Gold is a classic, it does a wonderful job slowly building over it's runtime and a classic riff throughout. Admittedly my vote was mainly for that rather than the other side, but you can't go wrong with debut era Stone Roses.I like the other two as well - Going Under is another epic single from Evanescence and was a nice contrast to the stripped back My Immortal, and I hadn't seeked out Ça plane pour moi, but I recognised it instantly from being on an advert when I was younger, fun song x

Tuesday at 21:034 days Plastic Bertrand might have placed higher if it wasn't in that advert that was on so much a few years ago.Fools' Gold has one of the best basslines.
Tuesday at 21:194 days Fools Gold finishing last is a shame, a real UK classic and way better than a certain other song in the final from a Manchester band which will likely win. Ca Plane Pour Moi is pretty funny but it can get annoying at times, I actually had it stuck in my head during a work shift recently and it drove me mad! Going Under ending up so low is also a shame, love Evanescence.
Wednesday at 00:474 days Yeah it doesn't feel right for a song as iconic and seminal as 'Fools Gold' to finish last here. Let's hope their fellow Mancunians avenge them...'Going Under' is brilliant, certainly just as good as 'Bring Me To Life'!3 hours ago, 777666jason said:Bring me to life is a tune should be higherYeah but that's not part of this rate :/
