Apt as the word 'Chicane' is used quite a bit for the recent Winter Olympics bobsleigh commentary!

Basically like Nick Berry and Robson & Jerome then!

'Who You Are' is heartfelt but perhaps a little too screechy!

Its not the sort of music I generally listen to but it sounds very good and have liked the song for a long time. I do like the spaciousness of the song and high vocal!

I might enter, Pingu.

Jealous Type was very good pity it wasn't more of a chart hit. Abor & Tynna wishing they were a little bit taller. 'Tonight' is good but it got a bit overshadowed on TikTok by 'Illegal' and obviously now by 'Stateside'. Such a relevant sound anyway by PinkPantheress.

'Romeo and Juliet' a good and emotive song.

Good Hi-NRG song!

Nik Kershaw interesting, I think overall I prefer Howard Jones though!

Oasis, but the Fray one isn't great either.

Chicane, the other two are too strong tracks!

Its a good song and has an early 80s synth sound to it, one of Cliff's best, not that that's a really high barrier for me.

'Affirmation' is very good, but I prefer 'To The Moon And Back'. 'Confusion' and 'Last Train To London' are two of the better ELO songs, a second quality double A side in this contest after Heart - Never/These Dreams.

I wonder was '4 minutes' influenced by Kelly Rowland - Work (Freemasons remix) with the trumpets/brass in the chorus. Good song anyway! Although I preferred Give 2 To Me at the time. Sam Sparro would have made a better #1 such an insanely good dance-pop song.

I liked it at the time

Found this bonkers tune on beatport top 100: Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike x Marlon Hoffstadt x DJ Konik - Makina Time (Extended Mix) - YouTube

'The Groove Is In The Heart' of its day!

Lena Marlin was obviously aimed at an older audience who may have remembered the early days of the chart in the early 50s when songs like it were popular. Like the Robson and Jerome of its day. I have never watched Watership Down but its supposed to be very sad. Bright Eyes I think was largely helped by the emotive video and film especially when a rabbit gets killed by a car. 6 weeks at #1 was way too much though! The Dr Hook song is catchy enough but there were better disco songs, especially in 1979.

I remember that song now from the radio of the time after listening to it now. Its not bad.

What a bop this is. I like 80s freestyle music, also I prefer this song to 'Tell It To My Heart'.

Another good dance hit from 1994 although perhaps a bit minimalist for my tastes, shout out to Brer though for giving it maximum points in the first round!

Lyrically and overall, its better than their other hit Get-A-Way for me! I like the chaotic synths. Looking forward to our #9s rate as Living On Video by Trans-X has a similar effect.

A Phil Collins cover/sample? A Stacey Q cover/sample?

What version original or remix?
