Voted Keep On but then saw D:Train do a live PA and realised I should've thrown my weight behind You're the One For Me
― i know kore-eda (or something), Thursday, 18 May 2017 07:43 (seven years ago) link
I get "I'm In Love" and "Love Come Down" in my head ALL THE TIME. My brain is on roller skates.
― Sushi and the Banchan (Spectrist), Thursday, 18 May 2017 07:45 (seven years ago) link
Enough clues to deduce #1.
― it's just locker room treason (Sanpaku), Thursday, 18 May 2017 07:48 (seven years ago) link
"You're the One for Me" should've been higher, it created a template for so much great boogie music ie early '80s, and inspired a lot of house music too... Tho I'm partially to blame, because I gave my D-Train vote for "Music". Even though it's very obviously "You're the One for Me" part two, IMO that's where they perfected their formula.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 18 May 2017 07:59 (seven years ago) link
The same with Evelyn King, I voted for "Get Loose" instead of "Love Come Down", because IMO it does the same sound even better and I love her energetic performance in it. But of course I'm happy to see this one here too, it's all good.

I am genuinely shocked by these results today (except for Dazz Band, which was a no-brainer). I thought for sure today would be yawn-inducingly predictable, but now I don't know WHAT to think.

Love 'Back to Life', but can't get my head around the idea that people thinks it's superior to 'Keep On Movin''.

I suppose it's been asked before but this thread is now too long to check it all !Is there a spotify playlist of the results ?

Certainly, thanks to Moodles:

I'm teaching Romeo and Juliet at the moment and the version of this in the Luhrmann film is quite a thing - the song has the presence of a revealed truth.

Does every version of "The Rain" feature that long spoken word bit at the end? Or was there an edit?

"Never Too Much" is of course perfect in it's smoothness, even if its "quit my job to just hang with my partner 24/7" scenario is a bit odd, even in the realm of love song lyrics.

Also, 'When Doves Cry' @ 20 is CRAAAAAZY. That was my number two, and I wouldn't have been nearly as surprised as I am right now if it had won outright.
― A Billionaire Dinosaur Forced Me Gay (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 May 2017 11:59 (seven years ago) link
That was intended to be a 'me too' to Dan, there.
"never too much" is the song that gets immediately stuck in my head when i fall in love

Yes, okay. Any chance for 'Walk Right Now' to still show up? I wouldn't (and didn't) put it above 'Can You Feel It' but it's certainly somewhere within the same orbit.
