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. :)

Shaun
25-03-2012, 05:21 PM

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:

The Pretenders - Don't Get Me Wrong (GypsyGoth, Locke)
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)

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:

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.

ROUND ONE:
Group A:
Duran Duran - Rio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3W6yf6c-FA)
Billy Joel - She's Always a Woman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GyMfoAhksI)
Queen & David Bowie - Under Pressure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtrEN-YKLBM)
Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want to Have Fun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIb6AZdTr-A)

Group B:
The Smiths - How Soon is Now? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZuLcfh5B8M)
Aerosmith/Run D.M.C. - Walk this Way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B_UYYPb-Gk)
Madonna - Holiday (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X7RyGBq2E8)
Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ni_c0IMP-c)

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.

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.
