Some I wouldn't be sad if I never heard them again lol.

How about the top 2 streamed songs of the 2000s, Coldplay’s Yellow and The Killers’ Mr. Brightside

 

[raskolnikov]

I love the 80s but only Sweet Dreams, Africa and You Shook Me would be in the top 100 of my songs from the 80s.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Not sure what’s wrong with any of those songs tbf, seems like a good representation of that decade and they’ve all aged well.

The 80s songs I like aren't in the list.

I don't mind A-ha though.

Here's a bit of a list of my 80s stuff

Careless Whisper is a fav of mine
Dancing with Tears in my eyes
Vienna
Rebel Yell
Tainted Love
Say Hello Wave Goodbye
Heaven is a place on earth

How about the top 2 streamed songs of the 2000s, Coldplay’s Yellow and The Killers’ Mr. Brightside

Most of my favourite music is from the early to mid 2000s

Coldplay, Birds of Tokyo, Thirsty Merc, Killers, Jamiroquai, Christina Aguilera, Greenday, Foster the People, Empire of the Sun, Vance Joy, Train, MCR.

I've seen what you guys listen to and I'd never do any good.

Oh I’m not talking about the song’s merits, more about the original post was implying that they were overplayed and pointing out that these two are pretty similar. Certainly in The Killers’ case, that song has been in the UK Top 100 for almost 8 years now.

I just saw someone had already won with Gotye Hearts a Mess. I love that song.

Suitable song for the round

I never knew that 1977 was in the 1980s.

Guess people were still loving it into the next decade!

Some crackers in that list!

 

[Stokey]

Hmmm. Should I try and get Oasis tickets.

If they just play their early stuff it will be one of those England football singalong concerts that are usually lots of fun.

 

[Loonerty]

Jeez, if any of you ever play Betrayal At House on the Hill Legacy, leave a good few hours for the final game. Took about twice as long as usual.

Anyway will add the two noms I haven't gotten to and get ready to post the list.

Votes due 10pm Sunday night.

 

[Plugger35]

That looks like a decent playlist but it would have been better if I threw in a nom, I'm sitting this one out to give others a chance.

That looks like the usual Perth 96FM playlist.

I actually heard them play Survivor's Eye of the Tiger today when I was listening to that station in my car today.

I don't like that song much but they backed it up with this quality 80s banger to make up for it.

The 80s songs I like aren't in the list.

Not a bad list apart from Purple Rain which is one of the most overrated songs of all time, Freo supporters probably like it though.

I would try and get a ticket if I was still living in the UK but I'm not forking out for a flight back there for one of their concerts when there is a chance it could get cancelled due to Noel and Liam having another bust up, it's buyer beware with their concerts.

 

[Chipmunk]

Apologies Loonerty … song 1 is not available in my country so I can’t see the entire playlist. Could you please possibly move it to elsewhere on the list (I can just search for any songs which aren’t available in my country as long as they’re not first).

 

[MKMatty]

Wished I’d nominated, there are some good tracks in this playlist.

How bout now?

 

[Chipmunk]

How bout now?

Perfect, thank you!

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Lol, I only just realized that song wasn't Ace of Base.

Boted. Can't say it was a memorable playlist with just 16 tunes.

One song seemed incredibly stupid but turned out really good.

 

[Stokey]

Just had a proud dad moment.
D1: Can I sell my Taylor Swift record (1989) so I can get The Queen Is Dead?

The Smiths is the only thing that has really stuck. She still gets most of her musical knowledge off tiktok.
I've listened to 10 secs of Alphaville's Forever Young 1,000 time the last month.

Still might pull off a few wins. There's a few suckers for tiktok tunes around.
