Boardsies greatest song of the 90s - Live Thread

Missing
Wonderwall
Paranoid android
Ice ice baby

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Everything But The Girl - Missing (this was a really close call for me though - love both of these a lot)... changing to Embrace - Come Back To What You Know.

Oasis - Wonderwall

Sheryl Crow - Every Day Is a Winding Road

Manic Street Preachers - La Tristesse Durera


Reasons: Song I prefer in each match

Triceratops Ballet

Everything But The Girl - Missing
Robbie Williams - Let me entertain you
Sheryl Crow - Everyday Is A Winding Road
Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby

I'm aware of the irony of me rolling my eyes at Shania Twain and then voting for Vanilla Ice, i just wasn't a manics fan, I was more a Stereophonics girl I'd never heard the manics song I gave it a listen and I just thought is was average, at least you can have a laugh with Vanilla Ice!!

Declan A Walsh

Everything But the Girl - Missing. Great song, but don't know the other one.

Oasis - Wonderwall. Catchy tune. Not mad about the other one.

Radiohead - Paranoid Android. Fantastic music. Not keen on the other.

Don't recall that Manic's song, although I would know most of their hits. I can't stand Ice Ice Baby, so will abstain.

Two votes for this round. There are better Manics songs than La Tristesse imo

Actually, want to change my vote for Match 5 to Embrace - Come Back To What You Know... Sorry Kolido for confusing things, but if its too late I understand. Both songs are worthy of moving on anyway.

Everything But The Girl - Missing
Sorry Embrace, this is just more iconic


Q/Match 6
Oasis - Wonderwall
Obviously. Amazed it only got one nom

Q/Match 7
Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Just incredible

Q/Match 8
Manic Street Preachers - La Tristesse Durera
Wow, who nominated this? LOVE IT
Always get the impression this album isn't well loved by Manics fans but I think it's brilliant

I left out anything by oasis, Blur, Pulp etc thinking exactly that

I don’t think I went for any of the obvious ones thinking someone else would nominate them.

Such an eclectic mix already.

Overall the album is patchy imo, but that is by far my favourite single of theirs. I also reckoned some of their better known songs that probably have a better chance like Design for Life might get nominated by someone else.

ShaneU

Everything but the Girl (my nomination!)
Oasis ( did this only get one nomination? Lol)
Sheryl Crow (great karaoke song )
Manic Street Preachers (never heard this before but better than cringe cringe baby)

Some great songs there

If Wonderwall only got one nomination I can see some very popular songs not in this.

Reason- Chose the least depressing song in each bout with the exception of Wonderwall which is iconic in its own right

I really wanted to nominate a couple of Manics tunes myself but just didnt have the space

I was putting in Motorcycle Emptiness instead of Wonderwall but decided against it and bloody glad I did seeing as no one else nommed it :eek:

I think everyone must have taken the same line in nominating. It would have been amazing if Wonderwall had not got any votes!

I definitely would have gone for Motorcycle Emptiness ahead of Wonderwall myself. I know it's an iconic 90s song and has to be in this competition, but I've always thought it was a bit meh.

Shtick me down for a vote for Sheryl Crow there to tie things up for the lols.

Really dislike Radiohead for the most part anyways so that helps there.

You will be first against the wall
