Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Big Mountain is surely going to be their cover of Peter Frampton.  The Mavericks are a shoe in to show up on this list somewhere  Had to Google Peter Frampton, yes it is.  My music knowledge is limited to Heart FM, Radio 1, Viva and Now CDs. (way back it was TOTP and Longwave Radio Atlantic 252!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAP Management Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Longwave Radio Atlantic 252 was incredible back in the day. Â To try to clear up the type of thong I'm after so far nominations have included songs by the following : Â Britney Spears Backstreet Boys ABBA Ricky Martin Human League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted August 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 15, 2015 If it's best pop song ever you'd think Elvis or The Beatles would have to walk it. Best pop song is too wide a church for a decent countdown I think, although I'm led to believe by pop song, TAP means cheese as opposed to pop which encompasses like pretty much most music released.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2015 Everything that hits the chart is pop music. POPULAR music. The clue is in the title Blamey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 15, 2015 Maybe there should be a qualification that any song you nominate has to have charted in the top 40/100/whatever? Â Something like that perhaps. I'm just spit balling here, since this is all so poorly defined right now. Â And if you only want modern pop then time box it. Â And if you only want shit cheesy bullshit then.. Uh. I dunno. Tell us clearly, so we can all give no shits about this thing..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAP Management Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Apologies, hopefully I can clear up any confusion in this post. Â I'm looking for songs that meet the following criteria. Â Only songs that have been in the Official UK Singles Chart from its inception in 1969 until today are eligible for nomination. Â The Official UK Singles chart is not to be confused with any other chart which ran before or alongside it. Â For simplicity, all genres of music are eligible so long as it meets the above criteria.

Undefeated Steak Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 '69? The 60's are possibly the finest decade of music and you're wiping pretty much all of them out? Â Exactly this. And almost all popular songs since then by their nature will have placed in the charts at some point which is the only really variable OP is giving for this thread. So it's pretty much "what's your favourite song ever?" which is too broad a scope to make a decent discussion from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted August 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2015 I'm glad to see it's been clarified, but its nearly 50 years of music there. It's far too broad. The first entry of the countdown might end up being 30 odd songs that drew the same score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAP Management Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 So would you guys be happier if it was a favourite song 1990 - 2015? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted August 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 15, 2015 I don't think it's the most workable idea for a countdown, to be honest. There's been 1,200 number ones since 1969. Just number ones, never mind other chart entries. There's far too many songs in the world for it to work. Even with the remit changing from 1990-2015 then it suffers for music from 1990-2015 being quite shit compared to the classics from before then. You'll struggle to get a consensus on the songs as there's just too many. Best albums ever would be workable maybe, but singles is too broad a church.

Paid Members WWFChilli Posted August 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2015 Maybe you could make it an eliminator type situation, and do 70-79, 80-89 etc, and then do a final 'Best of', where we vote from there. There is, as Butch said, just too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
