Mega Fave Song Poll Round 42 -BB Haighy, Mountain, Mrs 64, Onemore, 1304 to NOMINATE

[The Subhuman]

Recently discovered the Sound Defects, sort of Stereo MC's/Parov at his best but extremely hooky...Iron horse is an album worth chilling out to.

[The Subhuman]

Last second change of mind regarding Sound Defects ...was going to go with the stunning Sudan Archives (Point Riot this way 64, right up his street I'd have thought) But she's going to have to wait

[Bally]

R Dean Taylor There’s a ghost in my house has Bally, it got pipped in a decade final

Also FGTH Relax has also been nominated previously

OK change them for
60's Velvelettes - Needle a haystack
And
80's Visage - Mind of a Toy
Cheers

[lufc1304]

Seven Nation Army has appeared in this comp previously, by all means you can leave it in for one more chance is you wish to Nick

Thanks, Leon, I'll make another selection

[Bally]

ok Steve Winwoods Valerie with a soft porn remix and soft porn video is an interesting selection

Ha ha sex sells hopefully it gets votes too ;)

[lufc1304]

2000s

Eminem - Stan

[lufc1304]

Good shout on Sound Defects, faaip, like those two tracks. Will definitely be investigating further

[John in Louisiana]

Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child just got beat in a semi-final & Kate Bush Running Up That Hill won a decade final previously John

Oops. Sorry.

Let's go with "Cupid" by Sam Cooke for the 1960's and "How Soon is Now" by the Smiths for the 1980's.

[Muppet the Cat]

Oops. Sorry.

Let's go with "Cupid" by Sam Cooke for the 1960's and "How Soon is Now" by the Smiths for the 1980's.

John - if scroll back a couple of pages (p95) you'll see the The Smiths track has already been chosen before (by 1304) and a decade winner indeed

The beginning of the Angels track (before the vocal kicks in) reminded me of the intro to Python Lee Jackson's In a Broken Dream.
Will give the album a listen

[John in Louisiana]

What on earth is wrong with me?????

Love it John but lost 10-6 to Running up that Hill in round 3 on my nom. Feel free to give it another spin though one of the great soul tracks absolutely deserves a second chance

[John in Louisiana]

I can't win for losing.

Honestly, does it matter what I nominate? I have yet to have a song go past a second round.

So I will just give up trying to nominate something I think will advance and go again with something I love but doesn't stand a chance. My ego can take the hit.

1980's: Blue Orpheus from Todd Rundgren's brilliant (and I mean brilliant) album A Capella. His singing is incredible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGUzDA6z1gE

So my official nominations are:

1960's: Sam Cooke - Cupid

1970's: Van Morrison - Caravan

1980's: Todd Rundgren - Blue Orpheus

1990's: Matthew Sweet - Girfriend

2000's: The Strokes - The Modern Age

[The Subhuman]

Well the Morrison is getting votes from me, don't think that's Cooke' best work (A Change is Gonna Come) and have yet to hear the others.
