@RoverAndOut Human League and Steve Miller Band are on the same line

Just like Up The Junction in the 78/79 round

There are probably a dozen I really like and about another half dozen I would not object to progressing Let us see how things looks when the chaff is cleared away

I actually bought the Confessions from the Dancefloor CD and it is quite impressive because it flows through with no breaks. There are a lot of samples on it but that is what she was doing at that time. Some do accuse Madonna of being a bit of a cultural vampire absorbing things for her own needs but it is still more listenable to that a lot on this list. I played the Brian McFadden track and am still feeling quite nauseous

I will take Diana over Stevie but would prefer Lipps Inc & Hot Chocolate to claim the last two places at this stage I am wondering whether I will get another vote in tomorrow morning.

Donna Summer was the Disco Queen and have you never seen Shrek II?

Devastating news I saw Ann Widdicombe was trending on Twitter I clicked on the link fearing the worst and it was true..... .....she is still alive

I think she knows the location of the Doomsday Weapon

@Teniente William Kmacho are you serious about wanting to play this game? The years are fixed at 1923 to 1932 You can leave blank spaces if you cannot find a unique pick that has not been selected this round but you cannot have three entries for a year Let me know if you have any questions

Surely by now it should be Grandkids in America

I think there is a reasonable consensus. I will not object to any of the remaining songs going through but I do have a preference for some of them. The howlers in this round were pretty self evident
