Bit of a giveaway which one is mine I think!

by **ADMIN** Wed Aug 17, 2011 11:07 am

Can't see the Charleston up there.

by GG Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:04 pm

Thought losing my religion would be top. I voted for it.

by Beer Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:10 pm

Oooh, another 1985er amongst us.

by **Enforcer** Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:32 pm

All songs have at least two votes already! Strong round.

If I had been born a year earlier the selection was much better!

by Marsh Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:37 pm

If I'd have been born in any year but 1990 the selection would have been a lot stronger Laugh

Two of the biggest hits were Ice Ice baby and Cant touch this, it was a cheesy year

by **ADMIN** Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:38 pm

I was amazed at some of the choices as they were coming in, nearly everyone moaned at what a poor year it was but I found some belters.

by Beer Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:39 pm

I wanna know who chose Elton John. Awesome song.

85 was a good year! Loads of tunage.

by **Enforcer** Wed Aug 17, 2011 4:10 pm

Really? I wasn't too impressed, my mrs is 84 so had a look and I would have happily had 15-20 songs from the list as my choice!

Happy with what I got though.

Ok, just checked '84, you have a point.

by Adam D Wed Aug 17, 2011 5:18 pm

Is Foreigner really winning this?

Dear God!

I wanted to go with either Dream On by Aerosmith or Long Train Running by the Doobie Brothers but I had a feeling no one would know either song!

by Nay Wed Aug 17, 2011 6:10 pm

Tight round

although it makes me feel old seeing some of these songs

by GG Wed Aug 17, 2011 6:29 pm

how is that awful song winnig?

by Beer Wed Aug 17, 2011 8:13 pm

I know, GG. Summer of 69 is so over-rated.

Dream On would have definitely had my vote!

In the end I voted for Rhythm of the Night, Summer of 69 and Smooth Criminal. Circle of Life narrowly missing out Very Happy

Damn you Churchill!

I chose Circle of Life. Sad

First one on a list when I searched for 1994 songs. Laugh

1994 really was a bad year for Music. I went with Rhythm of the night

I thought 1994 had some top drawer stuff! Depends on taste and what you're looking for I guess, but I'd of had anything from Definitely Maybe, Weezer's first album, Grace by Jeff Buckley...

by sodhat Thu Aug 18, 2011 11:48 am

Can't believe Bryan Adams is stretching away here...

In all honesty mate I've never even heard of Defintely Maybe and Weezer laughing

More of a R&B/Rap man myself.

by **ADMIN** Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:00 pm

Just so everyone can get their thinking caps on over the weekend...

Next round is going to be...

Songs with a colour in the title.
(Black and white are allowed, I'm not getting into arguments over shades and tones)

by Adam D Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:11 pm

I really hope someone picks Pink Pink Sunshine by Fuzzbox!

by **ADMIN** Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:53 pm

I loved that song! (rushes off now to watch it on youtube)

by Guest Sat Aug 20, 2011 4:18 pm

Are you accepting choices by PM now or later?

by DJ Legless Sat Aug 20, 2011 6:45 pm

Not that I'm going to but can the artist have a colour in their name e.g Pink, blue, pink floyd and so on or just the title of the song?

by **ADMIN** Sat Aug 20, 2011 8:17 pm

1. Accepting the choices now.

2. Just the song title. So no Pink Floyd, Deep Purple or Blue tracks unless they also contain a colour in the title.

by **Crimey** Sat Aug 20, 2011 8:18 pm

Do my choices count, or do I have to send you them again?

by **ADMIN** Sat Aug 20, 2011 8:45 pm

yep they're fine!

by Bull Sat Aug 20, 2011 10:02 pm

is it to late to compete in this ?

by DJ Legless Sun Aug 21, 2011 11:54 am

Email sent.

by **ADMIN** Sun Aug 21, 2011 1:58 pm

Sorry Brahma, we're 5 rounds in now Sad

by Bull Sun Aug 21, 2011 1:59 pm

ah ok when does it end ? then ill join if you do another one

by **ADMIN** Sun Aug 21, 2011 3:01 pm

In 15 weeks time! Sad

by Bull Sun Aug 21, 2011 3:19 pm

what ... can we not delay it in till 10??

by **ADMIN** Sun Aug 21, 2011 8:25 pm

Can everyone resend to me their choices for the colour round after my inbox was kindly wiped!

by Davie Sun Aug 21, 2011 8:48 pm

I'm sure you don't need mine again - you roundly chastised me for stealing your choice laughing

by Guest Sun Aug 21, 2011 9:16 pm

Think I might be able to guess at least 3 or 4 songs that'll pop up in the next round.

by Beer Sun Aug 21, 2011 9:20 pm

Yeah but you never meant to cause him any sorrow!

by **ADMIN** Mon Aug 22, 2011 9:27 am

Really think Davie would have picked Coldplay?

by **ADMIN** Mon Aug 22, 2011 9:31 am

Still need quite a number of choices back in.

At present I do not have (due to my inbox clearing):

Liam Main
Aberdeen Steve
Y I Man
Fernando
Legend Killer
GG
Electric Demon

by **ADMIN** Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:21 am

Inbox issue is now resolved so I'm about to check through my list to see if anyone is still missing.

by Bull Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:24 am

*TheBrahmaBull Wink

by **ADMIN** Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:26 am

Actually yes there is still an issue with it as it's missing all the messages from mid Saturday onwards.

Still need the following...

Liam Main
Aberdeen Steve
Y I Man
Fernando
Legend Killer
GG

And I'm fine for you to join in BB as long as there are no objections?

by Celtic Warrior Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:28 am

There is one song springing to mind for the next round and if it is not included...you all deserve to be shot for over looking it.

by Bull Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:32 am

objections ? no one will object me

by Beer Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:34 am

I object. He has awful taste in music and if he isn't winning after the first week he'll start whinging.
