..well seeing as there isn't a Bowie song left (disgusting)...Imagine had better win..there isn't another song up there which should be in the top 12..and 3 by Prince..what the heck...he was good but no way deserves that...I'm going to demand a stewart's enquiry..somethings not quite right here..
..anything other than Imagine..then..well..there'll be action taken
..poor Shaun must be having a breakdown..after all this effort..how could you all do this to him... no wonder he's always in a bad mood...I'm going to put this bit in bold..it's that serious

Edit:..oh LOL Shaun..you put Joy division first..you bloody idiot

[Shaun]

you shut your mouth Ammi. you shut your mouth now *throws plates*

I'm a big Prince fan too :tongue: but if I ever get around to a 70s version, David shall win. I'll actively rig it so that he does.

[Mrluvaluva]

Happy with that.

Thanks Shaun. Good competition. Enjoyed it.

[Boothy]

Well. Who am I to disagree?

[GypsyGoth]

Thanks for running it Shaun :lovedup:

And I like four out of the top 5 :love:

[Patrick]

A whole decade full of outstandingly brilliant music and you lot ******ing crown that as the winner?

I'm ashamed to know you all. Christ.

[Ammi]

...thanks Shaun :love:
..A good winner

[Shaun]

the feeling is more than mutual, Patrick.

[Roy Mars III]

:amazed:

brillaint choice

[Marc]

A whole decade full of outstandingly brilliant music and you lot ******ing crown that as the winner?

Should have contributed then little paddy

[Boothy]

A whole decade full of outstandingly brilliant music and you lot ******ing crown that as the winner?

I'm ashamed to know you all. Christ.

Really?

Whole whole top ten is comprised of absolute classics. What would have you chosen then?

[Shaun]

needs more pendulum mayte!!!

[Marc]

Some David Dickinson INNITTTTT

[Kate!]

If you don't vote, I don't see how you can complain.

That's all.

Oh no, one more thing. Thanks Shaun. Was great. Really enjoyed voting.

[Marc]

We all know this was fodder for the 70s

[Benjamin]

A whole decade full of outstandingly brilliant music and you lot ******ing crown that as the winner?

I'm ashamed to know you all. Christ.

Did you even exist in the 80's? :idc:

[Patrick]

Should have contributed then little paddy

I know. I kept forgetting, can't really complain tbh considering I didn't vote but you know the winner could of been better. :laugh:

Really?

Whole whole top ten is comprised of absolute classics. What would have you chosen then?

Nothing out of the Top 10 - something like Toto - Africa, or Easy Lover by Phil Collins. Not even sure, There's alot to chose from, I just don't think that song was a worthy winner.

needs more pendulum mayte!!!

Pendulum aren't even chavy - so I don't get the need to write like that, and as a matter of fact I'd of chosen a good 80's song of Pendulum anyday.

[Patrick]

Did you even exist in the 80's? :idc:

LOL. I have a slight obsession with 80's style, 80's TV shows, 80's culture, 80's music and 80's movies etc

[Benjamin]

LOL. I have a slight obsession with 80's style, 80's TV shows, 80's culture, 80's music and 80's movies etc

Yet you didn't vote in this. :nono:

[Mrluvaluva]

:laugh2: If Easy Lover looked like it would have topped the poll I think I would have stopped voting a long time ago. "puts on System Addict by Fivestar".

Has anybody got The Reynolds Girls on mp3 they can share?

[Boothy]

Nothing out of the Top 10 - something like Toto - Africa, or Easy Lover by Phil Collins. Not even sure, There's alot to chose from, I just don't think that song was a worthy winner.

Class songs, in fairness. I'd have liked to see Soft Cell win it I think though. I wish I'd have voted in this now. Definitely gonna look out for the 70s one when it comes about.

[Kate!]

Toto - Africa is a great tune as well, loved it and Rosanna by them.

[Tom4784]

how did she get so high :idc:

BECAUSE SHE'S AMAZING AND IS BETTER THEN YOU IN EVERY WAY, YOU MESS.

I love the gurl but I think 5th of the entire decade was a bit generous for that particular song. Hounds of Love drastically underperformed :(

[Shaun]

also

-just realised Imagine came out in 1971 :laugh2:-

[Mrluvaluva]

Running Up That Hill only comes a close second to Breathing. :nono:

I was pretty much on the verge of hacking into the admin panel and deleting all who voted when HoL was eliminated.

Oh my Five Star, I remember them haha

[Mrluvaluva]

Oh my Five Star, I remember them haha

They were like the 80's Jackson 5. Possibly....

[Bollo]

They were like the 80's Jackson 5. Possibly....

They had awesome shoulder pads

[Shaun]

I just compiled a list of 120 songs for the 70s, lmao, and this one (for me) is even harder. We're into Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Who and Elton John territory.

[Shaun]

and then there's Bowie's best :bawling: maybe it would be unwise to do this

[Boothy]

70s :love:

[Mrluvaluva]

Can we indulge in Roxy Music, The Sparks, early Blondie, David Bowie and The Village People all in one thread?

[Shaun]

all but 1 :tongue: I haven't got the Sparks

[Shaun]

*has now added This Town...*

[Mrluvaluva]

Glad I have some uses..Actually...Can we include Imagine by John Lennon?

[Shaun]

:laugh2: I was going to, but since it's been in the 80s now, I opted against it

[Boothy]

Is Working Class Hero on there?

[LemonJam]

not gonna lie... pretty unhappy with the winner :(

[Shaun]

The only one I've included is Jealous Guy, but I'm sure there'll be a lot of suggestions

[Boothy]

Sweet

[Niamh.]

not gonna lie... pretty unhappy with the winner :(

This.

[Black Dagger]

I think it's a great song. Annie Lennox is beautiful.

[Bollo]

I ♥ your music competitions Shaun, but they make me have a mental breakdown...the songs I love nearly all get knocked out in the 3rd or 2nd to last round

There are a lot of smashed plates in the Bollo household today..

But I am really looking forward to the next one ( Just may reserve a space in the local pyschiatric ward for the fallout)

[Shaun]

It's not my favourite song of the 80s but I think 'Sweet Dreams' is an excellent song and a pretty worthy winner. :spin2:

[Ammi]

It's not my favourite song of the 80s but I think 'Sweet Dreams' is an excellent song and a pretty worthy winner. :spin2:

..yes it's a good song..and the Eurythmics produced some excellent music..
..music tastes are so diverse..I think in the end it kind of comes down to a 'compromise'..and I think this is one of the best
