That’s a really great poll! Common People was my number 1 choice of that year at the time, and very near the top for the whole 90s. I’ve been reading about all the 30th anniversary stuff this week, special memories for me as I saw Oasis live at Sheffield Arena on 22nd April 95, the week of the release of their 1st number one single ‘Some Might Say’ my favourite of theirs, so there was an air of celebration about the concert. We were lucky as they also played Don’t Look Back In Anger live for the very first time and Pulp played Common People for one of the first times ever (prior to release later that year), it was wonderful even then. They actually stood in for the Verve, as support, at the last minute, a decision I was very happy with having been a Pulp fan for ages before they became famous. I think this concert was their real springboard at the time.

Basket Case is a great song, probably my favourite Green Day song along with ‘American Idiot’. Wow, there’s a been a few candidates for that title in the last few months! Just noticed there is a definite leaning towards the 90s in the final songs here. Half of the top ten seems quite a significant number. Were there any dominant decades in the other rates, for numbers 1 to 6?

If I’ve worked it out correctly there are 8 of my original nominated 30 from round one still around in the last 11, I’m happy with that.

Thank you! That’s fantastic, I couldn’t really argue with those results

My favourite album this week is the fantastic Patience Moonbeam by Great Grandpa.

Favourite album out this week is the wonderful Japanese Breakfast

White Lines is easily my favourite song out so far. A real hip hop classic and brings back so many memories of my school days. At the time there was a rumour that a massive proportion of its sales, certainly early on, were from up here in the north of the country on 12 inch as it was absolutely huge in the clubs. Then it later caught on across the whole country, hence the record breaking slow climb to the top 20 and the relatively huge sales for a number 7 single. So glad it made the final, thanks guys!

The new Yungblud song is epic. Way over the top, in a good way, like something off Meat Loaf’s Bat Out Of Hell !! 😂

Wanted to give a shout out to the Steven Wilson album ‘The Overview’ a really great prog rock/space rock epic.

Really great song, I can hear some prog rock influences too!

Bold prediction for The Giver,> 1 million peak Spotify streams and number 1 with > 100,000 ‘sales’ this week . Will probably look stupid by the end of the week but better to have tried and failed….. Great song, very Shania. Getting the job done Chappell! Hoping for a big ‘event’ number 1

42 from me! One of my favourite PSB singles, though pretty much all of them from their imperial period are fantastic!

Overall, though, I feel it’s (mostly) a really great 50, good work guys!

I did expect Bloc Party to come last but disappointed at Glen Campbell being so low, such a beautiful song

aQMKAZpcynA Loving Marina’s new single!

Love Twin Peaks (both the soundtracks and TV shows) plus Julee Cruises singles but especially her album Floating Into The Night, an underrated classic.

Agreed. Do you think Good Luck, Babe! might be the most likely Julian, if it gets added to a possible new Chappell album this year?

Oh no, 2 of my absolute favourites are out, Start Me Up and Wordy Rappinghood. Great to see them get so far though!

Is it just me (it’s probably just me😆) or does anyone else hear echoes of the melody in the verses of Tears For Fears Mad World in the chorus of Abracadabra?! It’s not a criticism btw, I love both songs!

Thank you!!! Yeah it’s brilliant isn’t it? Especially the fantastic drumming!

Sorry… tried to post the video, but couldn’t get it to work! Can anyone help?!😌

Wow, I was the only one giving any votes to Bloc Party’s wonderful Two More Years, I’m glad it’s got a wildcard! I understand why many won’t have heard it before, it was their great ‘lost’ standalone single released after the Silent Alarm debut album in 2005 and was only added to streaming last year after going missing for 2 decades. Please give it a listen before the semi finals guys, see if you like it anything like as much as I do!
