    Lord/Lady of The Dance playlist for y'all


    Thanks for the entries again folks. Not a bad song in the whole 17, I was really impressed with this category.


    And that leaves one category... which will be co-hosted by both myself and Stu on a date TBC very shortly (ie this coming week at some point)

    Probably be last next category as I submitted one of my favourite songs but it probably wouldn’t be classed as the best song ever by most

    Fun fact: Bon Jovi almost cut LOAP from the album because they didn't think it was good enough

    Congrats Kitten, great choice.
    Loads of good tunes this evening

    Thanks again Stu and Necro, great work :)


    If I may, while all you fine musos are here...
    If you'd like to show off your musical knowledge by identifying album covers, my quiz closes for entries tomorrow. Reveal on Tuesday evening. Go on, you know you want to...

    13th Place: Lady Gaga -

    Necro: Ok so I love me some Lady Gaga. Pokerface, Just Dance, Bad Romance and I’m front and centre on the dancefloor doing stupid moves. Born This Way doesn’t fall quite into that category though.


    I did consider submitting Bad Romance, as I figured that would score better than Born This Way, but the latter just gives me more of a feelgood nostalgia vibe so I decided to go with the more "honest" submission. I am a Gaga fan in general, though I have to be in the right mood for her.

    The only other thing I could think of submitting was Macarena, as it's one of the few dances I actually know; no idea where you would have ranked that Necro but I can safely assume that Stu would not have been impressed! :pac:

    Macarena would have probably scored a bit higher, maybe 6th or 7th I'd reckon... though maybe also would have lost points from Stu :pac:

    I like Born This Way, I just don't love it I think that's the best way I can describe it.

    Macarena as well as the likes of Saturday Night and Mambo #5 are the kind of things which would have...

    Scored excellently with me in this round!

    Gaga just not my bag, but she is quite a talent.

    Is there three different voices in that song? Eminem rapping, Nate Dogg singing and someone else with a low voice? Who is that?

    For me that "honour" goes to either Rock the Boat (for that stupid sitting-down dance) or Come On Eileen (which is just hugely irritating and inexplicably popular shîte)

    It sounds like it but I can't find any other featured artist on the track.

    There's a remix with Obie Trice and Bobby Creekwater alright though

    Sure The Lost Boys as much I love the film is not the best horror film ever :D

    Em

    I was the one who submitted Gouryella, not EN. He hated it in fact.

    Though I dont mind being credited with Tango, that was beautiful. I would totally badly dance the Tango on the dancefloor to that :D

    6th Place: Gouryella – Gouryella


    Necro: Yeah so I love 90s dance. The beat is grand, if a bit repetitive. A bit too electro as well if I’m honest, it ain’t a patch on Gigi D’Agostino or Tiesto for example. But the thing about this song that made me want to rank it bottom is that horrifically annoying nodding person in the video. I want to punch their face repeatedly and tell them to stop!! Tyre irons, baseball bats, golf clubs, assault rifles, nuclear bombs are all acceptable methods of ridding that creature from my life. So in order to not rank this song due to hatred of that… thing, I started listening to it without watching the video. And do you know what? I can see myself in a club after 5 or 6 vodkas or whiskeys just absolutely going bonkers to this. In fact I most likely have, I just can’t remember it… might be the alcohol :P It continues to grow and grow on me, as long as I don't watch the video :pac:


    Stu Redman: Yokes! Now! Let's go! I thought this tune was new to me until the 'chorus' kicked in. I wouldn't be the biggest Tiesto fan, but this is sublime.


    Necro: 6th
    Stu: 8th

    Rikand

    @Necro - not a patch on Tiesto, except it is Tiesto, only in a duo with Ferry Corsten

    @Stu - I'm not a fan of Tiesto myself, but I have to say that this was hands down(or up, if you will) the best thing he ever had any part in :) The Gouryella moniker was a nice opportunity for him to get this kind of Good Trance out of his system and when he left it, he started making rubbish :)

    Hmmm do not know how that happened. The reviews were correct anyways. I'll fix it in the morning.
