Interesting to call that Dina Carroll song safe, as it does rather sum it up!

And Donna Lewis - I Love You Always Forever was the inspiration for Romy’s 2024 song Always Forever! Both Donna Lewis and BBE are fantastic. Also liking that Bluetones hit more than I did at the time.

Your House is amazing! I think their best song to date.

Thanks for the votes, keep them coming (helps me prep early!)

Thanks for another fab countdown, Gezza!
