    Its like someone put Erasure, the lads who did Safety Dance and the Barenaked Ladies into a blender and served it to me. An odd song that isnt bad, but I am not a fan of the chorus and the song does not bring me back for more.

    A swing and a miss.

    I just love this track. No matter if its the original or sampled, I just love everything. The vocals, the hook, the riff’s, the bridge to the chorus, and the flow. Its just an epic track, it gets you feeling awesome. Just amazing from start to finish. Wonderful choice

    A nice intro sets me up and has me swaying my head in appreciation , as the song settles in it's a nice but it gets repetitive very quickly. It's not quite annoying me with the repetitiveness, as the tune is nice, but ultimately its not the bands best work. The song never really takes off for me.

    Not their best work, but I was really struggling with this category and I didnt want to submit one of the obvious ones :)

    This is a great version of the same song ::


    Also check out their bathroom session of One Week :D

    I also love them, a splendidly awesome group who have so many bangers.

    The OJays had to win it for me. Just such an iconic tune.

    Me too.

    I was first introduced to this tune when Charlie Baltimore sampled it for the soundtrack of A Long Kiss Goodnight.

    Just love the guitar riff

    Yeah that's a great song too. I sort of made up my mind pretty quickly once I saw the category though.

    Was thinking of this one either, but wasn't sure if it would have counted

    Its a bit like heeps, I thought picking ABBA would be too obvious and score low
