Bibliogryphon 9,572 Posted August 20 These last two rounds have been huge battles. Of the five that have gone through here only Bad is not on my current playlists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted August 20 Next round (last of the qualifiers) looks decent but not the same quality as the last 2. Might not be quite as big a bunfight but I stand to be corrected. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from the two obvious reasons for voting for Sabrina, it's a fun song, certainly in the top 5 here. Much prefer this Queen song to Kind of Magic, rare bucking of the 'got worse as they went on after the first 3-4 albums' trend. I was at Uni with Everything But the Girl but in the year below and in the same year as some of the Housemartins, one of my then best friends did maths alongside Norman Cook/Fat Boy Slim. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My best music decade ran from 1977. The back end of the 80s did have its moments, eg Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Echo & The Bunnymen et al, but there was an awful lot of crap. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,387 Posted August 20 85-05 is the best 20 year run in music. Only the 90s is completely included in that. But sure, there’s going to be some dodgy stuff here and there. Speaking of dodgy stuff, I am disproportionately pleased that The Housemartins didn’t make the final. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AstroKat 531 Posted August 20 One of the joys of this game, for me at least, is that we have a group of people who disagree on which time period has the best/worst music, but we still seem to sift out the garbage and coalesce around a handful of songs which we all enjoy even if we don't necessarily agree with the winner of each game. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
