Posted October 13, 200717 yr 1991 RETRO RECORDS OF THE YEAR :cheer: :yahoo: :w00t: :dance: YES THE RETRO RECORD OF THE YEARS (UP UNTIL 1997) GAME HERE!!! Vote for your favourite Top20 (or minimum Top10) from the list of 50 Records from 1991. Your First choice (Favourite) song will score 20 pts, 2nd = 19 Pts....down to 20th = 1 point. Please state in your list if you are scoring by position or Points. I am playing this game across both BuzzJack & UKMix. Therefore if you vote please can you only vote in one of the sites threads especially if you have a different name on each site (like me). For each year 1964 to 1997 inclusive & games (*) for the years 1960-1; 1962-3 & two alphabetically track name split lists for the 1950s. There are 50 tracks that I feel best represent the year* in popular music. This certainly does not always mean the biggest hits of the year, but tracks (including album tracks) that over time have come to best represent the year. Please note songs will only feature once for the most well-known or definitive version of a song (example “Without You” will only appear in 1972 for Nilsson, but will be absent in 1994 for Mariah Carey). Also please don’t mention that I have put the song in the wrong year as the year the track was recorded, released (on an album), a hit (peaked) in the UK, a hit (peaked) in the USA can result in three of four different answers, and there will be literally hundreds of songs that fall into that category. For each game you will have four weeks to get your votes in (two weeks for the vote from the shortlist of 50 songs, then two weeks to vote from the "Missing" songs that you have nominated). I will be posting two of these Games a Week at the weekend. (VOTING RULES FOR SPECIFIC GAME 1950s: Top25 make the Record of The Decade Final; 1960s & 1990s: Top 4 From Each Game make the Final, 5th to 10th make the Play-offs; 1970s & 1980s: Top 3 each year make the Final, 4th to 8th make the Play-Offs. PLUS: Your choices of missing songs being included in the relevant Play-offs) Phase 2: The Record Of The Decades Finals will result in the following numbers making the Final 200 (1950s: Top20; 1960s: Top50, 1970s Top45; 1980s Top45; 1990s Top40), where they will be split into 4 Quarter Finals, leading to the Final 50 Songs of the Retro Record Game A: Vote for your favourite 20 (minimum 10 out of the following:) Amy Grant - Baby Baby Beverly Craven - Promise Me Blur - There's No Other Way Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me Bryan Adams - Everything I Do (I Do It For You) C & C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat Cathy Dennis - Touch Me (All Night Long) Chesney Hawkes - The One & Only Color Me Badd - I Wanna Sex You Up Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman Divinyls - I Touch Myself DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince - Summertime Electronic - Get The Message Enigma - Sadness part 1 Extreme - More Than Words Guns 'N' Roses - You Could Be Mine James - Sit Down Julian Lennon - Saltwater K-Klass - Rhythm Is A Mystery KLF - 3am Eternal Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over Til It's Over Marc Cohn - Walking In Memphis Mariah Carey - Emotions Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy Metallica - Enter Sandman Michael Jackson - Black Or White Moby - Go Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Nomad ft MC Mikee Freedom - (I Wanna Give You) Devotion Oceanic - Insanity Oleta Adams - Get Here P M Dawn - Set Adrift On Memory Bliss Paula Abdul - Rush Rush Prince - Cream Prodigy - Charly Queen - These Are The Days Of Our Lives REM - Losing My Religion Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy Roxette - Joyride Rozalla - Everybody's Free Salt 'N' Pepa - Let's Talk About Sex Scorpions - Wind Of Change Seal - Crazy Shamen - Move Any Mountain Simply Red - Stars Source ft Candi Staton - You Got The Love U2 - The Fly Whitney Houston - All The Man I Need Wonder Stuff - The Size Of The Cow Zoe - Sunshine On A Rainy Day B: Nominate Two songs from 1991 MISSING from this 50 track shortlist. The Top 4 Songs from each year (1990 -1997) will go through to the Record Of The Decade Final. The songs finishing 5th - 10th position will go into a Play-off, where the Top18 Songs will join the other 32 in the Final. While your selection of missing songs will be put to a vote with the winning track (or tracks in event of a tie) joining the Record of The Decade Play-Off. You have until Saturday 27th October to vote for your favourite Top 20 (minimum Top 10) songs of the Year. I will then reveal the results of the vote along with your selections of the "missing songs" from the original list for you to vote for an extra song for a place in the Record of The Decade (1990s) play-offs
