[Ocha905]

5. Sonny Fodera ft. blythe - "Mind Still (1991 remix)" The best dance track that's been nommed in my time here. Perfect. Chipmunk 3rd
4. Joni Mitchell - "In France They Kiss on Main Street" Joni is a treasure. Stokey 8th
3. Rat Boy - "I Wanna Skate" My kind of pop-punk. Love the experimental flourishes. hotchilli 5th
2. Ultimuscoach - "Pole Vault Song" Shocked this was good let alone great. Harvey Manfrenjensenden 17th
1. tennis - "Borrowed Time" Love the transitions from dream pop to alt rock. Riviat 12th

Billy. Soundgarden - "Rowing" Last round this would've got votes. I've just never been able to appreciate them despite seeing them live.

HM's - Everything including the Billy.

Playlist rating. 10/10. First time I'd be happy for any song to win. An amazing playlist, thanks everyone.

[MP_]

I wanted to nom that song several times. In shock that it had never been nommed

Yeah I was suprised too when I looked it up

 

[MP_]

Only 4 votes not bad for the song only being in the list for half the contest

 

[Plugger35]

I tried to nominate the winner, I dodged a bullet there by not having to host.

5. Sailing (Christopher Cross)
4. Pole Vault Song
3. Ping Pong
2. Breaking
1. Jump

Billy - Mind Still

 

[myblueroan]

Yeah I was suprised too when I looked it up

With your cover, that made 4 people who nommed the song.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Anyone got any theme ideas?

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Ok, no ideas. Here's three to choose from.

1. Virgin Artists

2. Colours

3. Cities/Towns

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

5 - Sonny Fodera - Mind Still - Outstanding electronica, bit of everything Chipmunk
4 - Tennis - Borrowed Time - new to me from an artist I'm kinda familiar with, right up my alley Riviat
3 - Angie McMahon - Divine Fault Line - ephemeral, ethereal Ulahoopski
2 - Rotboy - I Wanna Skate - great energy hotchilli
1 - The Essex - A Walking Miracle - feel good tune @Fossie

Could have selected several others, great playlist.

Billy'd the Pole Vault Song, but the eventual winner was close.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

OMG Where is everyone, Ok, so I'm setting the theme

Cities/Towns in the Title, Artist, OR Album (Real places only)

No previous podiums and no songs after round 700

Nominations due 10PM Thursday night, Votes due 7PM Sunday Night

Oh and the song title cant be a "live in London" type song London Symphony orchestra is ok
