"The first female artist signed to Def Jam West was perhaps best known for her 1993 single I Don’t Give a F###." Appropriately named as that's my response whenever I hear another rapper has died before their time.

Worth an update for sure.

Eric Carmen also performed the song Hungry Eyes in the 1987 film Dirty Dancing, that's how I discovered him. In my opinion it's one of his best songs.

What a tune Go All the Way is!

Two posts earlier I'd posted I'd vote eventually after the 3 other people who'd already bagged a place. From NOW I will vote later, because it doesn't matter at this stage and this furious midnight voting frenzy is fast doing my nut in. Wannamaker's fixed it, no harm done.

Would definitely recommend this at 'peak times', such as when you're up at midnight saving one of the worst songs of the 00s. Even if the last post is a placeholder, you can put a 'my turn after x' (providing it's after midnight ofc).

Before you post. That secures your place. Then you come back and edit it, by which time you can see if anyone ninja'd you.

Well, we got there. Low-tier music in that round, but top-tier drama between the Didos and the Didon’ts. Next round? Please, Christ, yes. Happily, it’s a more manageable size and, at least for someone who grew up around this time, it’s bloody brilliant. But if you don't know 'em, you've got all day to vote so give 'em a listen! 2004-05 Tue 12 Mar 21 Christine Milian — Dip It Low +1 21 Jojo — Leave (Get Out) +1 21 Snoop Dogg, Charlie Wilson & Justin Timberlake — Signs +1 21 Gorillaz — Feel Good Inc. +1 20 Kelis — Milkshake 20 Ronan Keating — She Believes In Me 20 Jamelia — Thank You 20 D12 — My Band 20 Kelis — Trick Me 20 4-4-2 — Come On England 20 Girls Aloud — The Show 20 Rachel Stevens — Some Girls 20 The Libertines — Can’t Stand Me Now 20 Girls Aloud — Love Machine 20 Ronan Keating — I Hope You Dance 20 Duncan James & Keedie — I Believe My Heart 20 Manic Street Preachers — The Love Of Richard Nixon 20 Destiny’s Child — Lose My Breath 20 Ice Cube ft.

The Rachel Stevens song is what the young wombles call a banger though.

I think by the time these came out every place I heard music must already have been an 80's station or something. Really cannot recall a single one of them from memory by looking at the names, probably might if I heard them, but life is already too short.
