Posted June 3, 2010 Erm, 1996 - Spice Girls - Wannabe, hello!!! At the same time, Who Do You Think You Are is far more essential. Actually has dancing potential, and feels less gimmick-ridden. Mel C's voice is actually stunning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 3, 2010 Have we had 1986 yet? Bigmouth Strikes Again by The Smiths every time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2010 ^ I said Livin' On A Prayer for '86. Very overplayed yes and probably has begun to grate with just about everyone but I'd probably say that was the highlight of that year. But The Smiths is also a good choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 3, 2010 Ha ha ha she can't even sing Objectively, she has brilliant range and vocal strength. Plus she has a really unique timbre to her voice (you can always tell which are her parts, where Posh's/Geri's/Emma's all meld into one), which subjectively is really striking. So yeah, you pretty much fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 3, 2010 It's ok... list isn't bad in places but could be better, '06 for example... couldn't you find anything better than 'Gnarls Barkley'? I never understood why that song was so 'popular' personally, but anyway, no ones gonna agree to the list 100% but then it isn't about what we all think as it's for your Dads 50th and I'm sure he'll appreciate the effort that you went to in order to compile this playlist.

Posted June 3, 2010 Please change 1997 to Bitter Sweet Symphony - The Verve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2010 Florence and the Machine, if it's the right year you gotta change that to 'dog days are over' And for 1990 try Deee-lite - Groove is in the Heart... Best.Song.Ever. Excellent list though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2010 Ray Of Light is so yes. There feels like there's so many more pressing things released in 2010 than that though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
