DoofDoof
04.14.21 | The nostalgia with 3 is terrifying

DoofDoof
04.14.21 | Tbh the list is sort of lol at the whole lot...but then also this is an ultimate list of acceptable pop songs, which is incredible for me as I'm not a pop person really
the only song from the 10 I'd say is more rock than pop is The Replacements, maybe 'The Whole of the Moon' too
from the runners up only Rites of Spring are rock and to them I'd add Tom Waits, Sisters of Mercy and Loudon Wainwright who also aren't really pop |

04.14.21 | I’d go with either 9 or one of my favourite instrumentals of all time New Order - Elegia
Sod it I’ll go with 9. |
DoofDoof
04.14.21 | 9 has probably influenced the most songs afterwards, so many have tried (and most failed) to capture the simple magic of that tune |
DoofDoof
04.14.21 | Listening to 'Elegia' now and it's very soundtrack'y from New Order, is a good one |

04.14.21 | two more days until we meet at the 1984 battlegrounds Doof |
DoofDoof
04.14.21 | looking forward to it!
possibility of zero overlap ;)
well, 'Ride the lightning' came out, so I imagine one song off that one will feature on both |

Mort.
04.14.21 | was there a runner up for Prefab Sprout? personally id have gone with Moving The River |
TheNotrap
04.14.21 | The Whole of the Moon is awesome. Don't You (Forget About Me) is my '85 favorite. |
DoofDoof
04.14.21 | Mort - maybe ‘Bonny’. I prefer the acoustic ‘Desire As’ so not that one.
Listening to Moving the River again now and it’s prob top three though
Turkey hungry, chicken free! |

Kompys2000
04.14.21 | Waitress in the sky is my least favorite song on Tim by like a mile lmao, Westerberg being a dick to a flight attendant just doesn't do it for me I guess |
