The rest however is much the same. You may all suggest (up to) 10 songs of your own (that have to have been released, as singles, between January 1 1980 and December 31 1989) that don't appear on the above list.

You may then also support (up to) 10 songs that others have suggested. Once a song has 2 supports it will be qualify for the contest. Since there are fewer songs needed to qualify this time around I ask that you consider your votes carefully instead of quickly rushing to support that song you recognise in my list ;)

Oh and for the sake of eradicating stans (Harry....) I ask that you submit no more than three songs by a specific artist. Oh and can someone pin this and unpin the 90s thread please?

That's all. Go. :)

[Mrluvaluva]

Would like to second Dreaming by Blondie. (Bollo)

[Marc]

yeah I counted that one because it was released as a single in 1980 :spin2:

Fair enough :spin2:

[Bollo]

[Bollo]

Ok, Can I have Gary Numan - Cars? It was released in 79 but was still in the charts in 1980?

If not I'll have R.E.M - It's the end of the world as we know it ( and I feel fine)

George Michael..Father Figure
Bruce Springsteen..Born In the USA

[Shaun]

2 of those have already been suggested, Ammi (Huey and the Bangles) and Bruce Springsteen is in the preselected list :) so you have 3 more spare.

[Shaun]

oh and Berlin's been suggested :laugh2: I thought I was confusing them for supports for a second but George Michael is a new suggestion :tongue:

[Kate!]

****, Cars was released in 1979. Should I change it as it was not technically 80's? Although a mix of it did chart in 1987.

[Shaun]

Nah it's fine, it screams 80s anyway :laugh:

[Ammi]

..I don't think these 4 are in

Thompson Twins..Hold Me Now
REO Speedwagon..Keep on Loving You
Mr Mister... Broken Wings
David Bowie..Under Pressure

[Shaun]

Kate - Yazz is in the preselected list of songs, and Blondie and Philip Oakey are already through, so you have 3 more supports :)

Ammi - REO Speedwagon and 'Under Pressure' have been chosen too :laugh: have taken your other 2 though

[Ammi]

oh and Berlin's been suggested :laugh2: I thought I was confusing them for supports for a second but George Michael is a new suggestion :tongue:

I'll count the 3 as supports though if you want?

..that's only 10 right?
..no I want to think about those

[Marc]

A shocking lack of support for my songs.

[Shaun]

i love how many of you have voted despite it being blatantly clear there's now more than the 6 songs required

[Shaun]

okay, there are 3 spaces left and Niamh has voted for four - sorry, but everyone else's votes after her will have to be voided.

The four songs she chose that could go through (the Bangles and T'Pau are already through) are:

R.E.M - It's the end of the world as we know it ( and I feel fine) (Bollo, GypsyGoth)
Cyndi Lauper - True Colours (Ammi, GypsyGoth)
Madness - Our House (Roy Mars III, Bollo)

Now, Ammi has already said she wished to support the Pretenders, so they will go through. But the other 2 that join them will be down to Niamh and Niamh alone :spin2:

[Kate!]

i love how many of you have voted despite it being blatantly clear there's now more than the 6 songs required

:bawling: we were living in hope you may be possessed by temporary insanity and let an extra ten slip through :hugesmile:

[Niamh.]

Ohhhhhhh, So what do I do, pick 2 of those ones but not the Pretenders?

[Niamh.]

I'll pick REM and Cyndi Lauper

[Shaun]

mhm, thanks Niamh :D I'll get working on selecting rounds and finding videos.

[Shaun]

omg... i just made all the groups... then had a song left... and tried to find where i'd duplicated one... and i accidentally saved the last file in the wrong place... and found out i'd put one too many songs through... and now have to do it all again ¬_¬

[Shaun]

also -kicks out Cyndi Lauper-

[Ammi]

omg... i just made all the groups... then had a song left... and tried to find where i'd duplicated one... and i accidentally saved the last file in the wrong place... and found out i'd put one too many songs through... and now have to do it all again ¬_¬

..Awwww...LOL

[Jordan.]

Might as well ronud it up to 10 now and count the supports after Niamh :):)

[Shaun]

not really, since I'd have more than I need...

and no need for the sarcastic tone.

[Locke.]

Just take two Madonna songs out and put Lady In Red through

[Jordan.]

not really, since I'd have more than I need...

and no need for the sarcastic tone.

More a joke than sarcasm but okay :joker:

[Shaun]

Rules:
- This'll largely follow the format of the 90s and 00s editions I've previously ran, but in case you're unfamiliar with the rules, here's the basics.
- For the first 5 rounds I have split the 160 songs into 5 "rounds" of 32 songs.
- In each round the 32 songs are split again into 8 "groups" of 4.
- Your task is to take each group as follows and rank the four songs in order of preference.
- For example, if Group A contained "Lovecats", "I Want Candy", "Touch My Nipples" and "Ooh is that a Benz?" and you loved "Touch My Nipples", liked "Lovecats", didn't mind "I Want Candy" and hated "Ooh is that a Benz?" you'd put:

1) Touch My Nipples
2) Lovecats
3) I Want Candy
4) Ooh is that a Benz?

- Each song is provided as a URL for these first 5 rounds so as to help you familiarise yourself. I ask that you please listen to songs you don't yet know (since you can't judge fairly until you do, and who knows, you might find a new favourite).
- The three songs with the most points per group will qualify for rounds 6-onwards.

Summer of 69 must win this

[Shaun]

Ladies and gentlemen... I give you the death group... that is Group H.

Rules:
- This'll largely follow the format of the 90s and 00s editions I've previously ran, but in case you're unfamiliar with the rules, here's the basics.
- For the first 5 rounds I have split the 160 songs into 5 "rounds" of 32 songs.
- In each round the 32 songs are split again into 8 "groups" of 4.
- Your task is to take each group as follows and rank the four songs in order of preference.
- Each song is provided as a URL for these first 5 rounds so as to help you familiarise yourself. I ask that you please listen to songs you don't yet know (since you can't judge fairly until you do, and who knows, you might find a new favourite).
- The three songs with the most points per group will qualify for rounds 6-onwards.

U2 took a beating there.

[Shaun]

Indeed :( they have more songs to come though - With or Without You and Where the Streets... should perform well

[Shaun]

A word of warning: Groups D and H in this next round are deadly.

[Shaun]

and G.

[Shaun]

Rules:
- This'll largely follow the format of the 90s and 00s editions I've previously ran, but in case you're unfamiliar with the rules, here's the basics.
- For the first 5 rounds I have split the 160 songs into 5 "rounds" of 32 songs.
- In each round the 32 songs are split again into 8 "groups" of 4.
- Your task is to take each group as follows and rank the four songs in order of preference.
- Each song is provided as a URL for these first 5 rounds so as to help you familiarise yourself. I ask that you please listen to songs you don't yet know (since you can't judge fairly until you do, and who knows, you might find a new favourite).
- The three songs with the most points per group will qualify for rounds 6-onwards.
