fixxer, Green&Red and MrKingsley at the last three left

Thought that would win really liked it

Tension!

Excitement!!

Jazz Suite No. 2: VI. Waltz No.2 - Dmitri Shostakovich. I couldn't help but laugh when I first heard this. I certainly didn't stipulate any further when I said dance song. This sounds so familiar. It must be tons of ads and films. What can I say. I like it. It's very grand and relaxing at the same time. Nice to have this in the middle of all the electronic tunes. If this came on in the club, I'm sure I'd first on the dance floor getting my waltz on.

Man With The Red Face - Mark Knight; What a tune. A very long intro. The song really gets going at 3:15 when the main melody kicks in.

In White Rooms - Booka Shade; Love this song. I think I was around 18/19 when this album was released. It was when I first got into minimal techno. Myself and a bunch of friends were obsessed. I saw them in what I think was still called Redbox at the time on Harcourt street. My friends got bored of Booka Shade but I never did. It still stands up today for me. I feel like I should be picking a song didn't know in advance but this one is too good.

I can't really take the credit

I was complaining that I think dance music is awful and Quickbeam popped up with "The waltz is a dance". I sent an hour listening to different versions!

Green&Red

I’ll take that second place and run

Very well. Was actually expecting to see it somehow.

The 80's songs are so nice and cheerful after that EDM heavy round

Love the waltz from Shostacovich, I thought it might claim the top spot - Mr Walrus Kingsley did it, well done. Thanks Partyjungle.

Thanks. I haven't been toting the scores myself and I can't do a table to save my life

Morning

Quite happy with 5th place on that one. Convinced my games song will be a winner too

Choc Chip

Are baggy and I the same person? :eek:

I feel like I'm taking forever with this! I will start doing the 80's category slowly throughout the day today

To Live Is To Die - Metallica; Found myself sighing whenever this started. It's not a bad song. It's a decent enough song in fact but its just too long. It could be two songs. I like some of Metallica's big songs but wouldn't be a die hard fan by any stretch. That drum intro is jarring. Sounds a bit dated. It really needs a bit of bass. Reminds me of the doors early stuff in that regard. It starts building nicely eventually.

The River - Bruce Springsteen; Really like the story in the intro. But the boss as he's known... whats the craic with him? He's revered as some amazing singer/song writer. I don't get him. His voice doesn't do much for me. I guess its not a bad song. Seems to be constructed very well, checks all the boxes.... but he just makes me feel meh

Not a huge fan of The Boss myself but he is very good live. My sister's a big fan, always goes to see the E-Street band when they play here and I've tagged along a couple of times. Well worth going to see even if you're not a big fan.

I love The River. Lyrically I think its wonderfully evocative and quite heart breaking. Two bits in particular...

Now all them things that seemed so important
Well Mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse

I'm the same - never really understood the appeal, then saw him at Isle of Wight one year and he was spectacular live.

I can imagine he'd be stunning live. Sometimes seeing someone live can change your entire outlook of them. I didn't really get The National until I saw them live. Turns out they aren't that slow and dreary live.

Sweet Child Of Mine - Guns n Roses; Absolutely loved this song. I've listened to it to death though. Great song but it's past its shelf life. I haven't got a huge amount of time for G'n'R these days. I wouldn't mind if they came on the radio, but I wouldn't be putting them on myself.

The River is also my favourite Bruce Springsteen track. I liked some of his early 80's stuff too.

Nothings gonna stop us now - Starship; A song I didn't know I knew. Not a bad song. Generally speaking, I'm not into epic ballad type songs. This feels like that.

Oh and here's the playlist

Whereever I lay my hat - Paul Young; I've never heard of Paul Young. A bit cheesey on my first listen. Never fully warmed to it.

I could cry reading that.

Safety Dance - Men Without Hats; It's definitely familiar. I thought this song was a pisstake. Like it was from a children's TV show. What is going on with the name of the song, the lyrics, the band name and the video... In spite of all the madness, its not a bad song. There's a bit of backstory it turns out. A particular dance called the pogo (literally jumping up and down on the spot) was being banned in clubs for being deemed too dangerous. Some hatless men took offence to this. Still feels like a novelty to a degree.

He's the first voice you hear on the original Band Aid single ("It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid...." )

Also Every Time You Go Away is a grand choon if you're in the mood for some 80's soft rock power ballads.

EDIT: @fixxxer, I came very close to picking Safety Dance for this category (and also for the running song category! :pac: )

Pretzill

Ooh I liked Safety Dance. I thought Paul Young was a bit of an eegit at Live Aid - it was like he was milking his performance. It was the height for him.

This is the day - The The; I feel like this could have been released by MGMT or Future Islands a few days ago and it would fit right in with today's sound.

It's the End of the world as we know it - REM; My dad used to play a ton of REM growing up. This wouldn't be my favourite track of there's but its certainly not a bad song.

Don't you forget about me - Simple Minds; I think this is the song at the end of the breakfast club, when yer man is frozen while fist pumping the air. You definitely had to be there when that film was released, I watched it as a teenager after constantly hearing it being referenced. It's not very good. It's full of cliches. Maybe it was the film that created those cliches. The dance scene is hilariously bad. Anyway, it introduced me to this song though. Quite the tune.

Chung Kuo - Vangelis; Starts off terribly. First Impressions were not good. Song actually starts at 1:30 imo. Then I felt like I was transported to Blade Runner. Nice majesty, floaty vices from it.

Maybe I should have submitted the bladerunner theme also by vangelis lol. Went for the predecessor

Glad you liked it

If anyone wants to listen to a trance version (not many of you I know) art of trance put out this homage a few years ago ::

I remember that tune. Was that from blade runner?

Down to Earth - Curiousity Killed The Cat; Nice funky tune
