Posted December 15, 200717 yr 1976 RETRO RECORDS OF THE YEAR :cheer: :yahoo: :w00t: :dance: Vote for your favourite Top20 (or minimum Top10) from the list of 50 Records from 1976. 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:) Abba - Dancing Queen Abba - Fernando Abba - Mamma Mia Aerosmith - Dream On Andrea True Conection - More More More Bee Gees - You Should Be Dancing Billy Ocean - Love Really Hurts Without You Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper Boston - More Than A Feeling Brotherhood Of Man - Save Your Kisses For Me Bryan Ferry - Let's Stick Together Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free Chicago - If You Leave Me Now Cliff Richard - Miss You Nights Cliff Richard - Devil Woman Damned - New Rose David Bowie - Golden Years Diana Ross - Love Hangover Diana Ross - Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To) Dolly Parton - Jolene Donna Summer - Love To Love You Baby Dr. Hook - A Little Bit More ELO - Livin' Thing Elton John - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word Elton John & Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breaking My Heart Eric Carmen - All By Myself Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon Four Seasons - December 1963 (Oh, What A Night) Hall & Oates - She's Gone Isley Brothers - Harvest To The World Joan Armatrading - Love And Affection Leo Sayer - You Make Me Feel Like Dancing Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By The Light Miracles - Love Machine Paul McCartney & Wings - Silly Love Songs Paul Simon - Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover Peter Frampton - Show Me The Way Queen - Somebody To Love Queen - Your My Best Friend Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop Real Thing - You To Me Are Everything Rod Stewart - Tonight's The Night Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK Showaddywaddy - Under The Moon Of Love Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight T Rex - I Love To Boogie Thin Lizzy - Boys Are Back In Town Tina Charles - I Love To Love Walker Brothers - No Regrets Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music B: Nominate Two songs from 1976 MISSING from this 50 track shortlist. The Top 3 Songs from each year (1970-1979) will go through to the Record Of The Decade Final. The songs finishing 4th - 8th position will go into a Play-off, where the Top20 Songs will join the other 30 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 29th December 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 (1970s) play-offs
