Kill or Save: UK No.1-hits of the 90s

[Toast 15,838]

 That 'Olive' track for instance; not a track I knew, so gave it a listen. Given the raving over it earlier I was expecting something.... better. Its just so 'meh'. (other opinions are available).

 

I didn't know it and wasn't struck on first listen, but thought it worth coming back to.  It's not outstanding but it's a grower, and I really dislike most of what's left.

More than happy to help Blur on their way out. And I'm going to unashamedly say that Gina G's is a nostalgic banger. Would rather give it a fighting chance for now, 9 fallers left to find.

For those of you who voted down Beetlebum, why? To me, it's a flawless track.

There are many reasons... opportunity, taste, aim of the game...

I say this will probably last until about Thursday

 

The bottom seven tracks have about 180 points which would require 30 players to concentrate on getting rid but I think the stage we are at that is not going to happen

 

At 25 players voting a day there will be a net down vote every day of 50 points which gives us around 3-4 days of voting left before the bottom group become unsustainable
