CONGRATS!!!




Which means that the kings of Old Skool, Public Enemy, have been eliminated.

Sorry, Swervedancer, end of the line here. Though of course you still get to get some justice by having a say in determining who will progress from here.

Stay tuned for Round 3 details coming right up.

lol, that ad was responsible for traumatizing a generation of pre-teens. It made it's point though, the fact it is still remembered nearly 30 years later.

 

Unlucky Prof, Mark & Swerve

 

Unlucky Prof and Mark.

Congrats to REM, The Smiths and UB40!

 

Now that would be some gif.

 

Round 3
Details

So this Round once again is compulsary 80's.

Though borrowing a theme from Minty in the last comp, this song needs to mean something to you.

So along with your song entry, add a few lines to your submission which will be posted, along with the song, as to why this song matters. Could be a particular lyric, or brings back a memory or whatever the case may be.

The Groups, as always, have been determined by random.org.

This Round is 3 Groups of 5.

It is straight elimination for the bottom song from each Group.


Group A

U2 ~ Rod Stewart ~ UB40 ~ Madonna ~ The Smiths














Group B

Iron Maiden ~ Rolling Stones ~ The Cure ~ Warren Zavon ~ The Pogues














Group C

Queen ~ REM ~ INXS ~ The Jam ~ Madness












~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hopefully everyone can get these in for Friday evening so we can kick this Round off then.

Good Luck!

Random.org proof:

 

Sometimes I'm grateful for being blind and being spared such an image... but for Prof having described it in such vivid detail has seared a mental image that cannot be undone.

:bbpd:

 

Better luck next time Prof, Swerve and Mark.

Having read the requirement for the next round its a shame that whoever has Madonna has already used 'like a virgin' as I would have liked to read the - 'what it means to them line' - :smiley-laughing002:

 

Thanks ok... they still got Papa, Don't Preach :smiley-laughing002:

 

Oh ffs

 

Unlucky Prof, Swervedancer and Mark.
Well done to the guys who progressed.


Submitted.

 

Unlucky lads. I had Roxy in 2nd place too!

I really try and give those who dont pick obvious 'hits' a chance by playing their song more than once, at least. Its easy to pick the big hits, but for someone to pull out an album track, it usually means they must really like it.....so its worth more than a single play.

 

You can all get to actual *!















:smiley-laughing002: well done guys!!!
