This, in my opinion, should have been one of the first to get eliminated. Absolute pants (no pun intended (OK, pun intended)).

IMO the worst one left is the inferior ABBA song.

Well, I tried to pounce on that in the hope that some would follow and others would surely finally get going with the piped bullshit from Oldfield, but neither fucking happened so sod all of it :lol:

I'm not going to pretend Money, Money, Money is the finest of ABBA's considerable output, but it's still better than most of what we had to vote on.

HDIYL best one here. Bowie song is solid too.

 

Love ABBA and the Seasons though prefer other songs by them. Both are still enjoyable enough to push through though (especially given the competition like Rover said).

 

Oldfield song doesn't really do anything for me.

Sound and Vision is a serious candidate for game winner imo. HDIYL is lovely. The rest can bugger off as far as I’m concerned.

I love the irony that the woman who sang of the dream sapping drudgery of being a wage slave now goes by the title Dowager Princess Reuss, Countess of Plauen

 

 

As a child that Heartfelt nature of the first verse struck a chord and I will continue to support this one
