I agree, that's far too many Prodigy songs. I presume that's what you meant?

Kolido

Sorry folks, we will leave it there for today. Necro and Homer are running Heeps and Walrus tonight, tomorrow I'm not around during the day, so lets meet back tomorrow evening for Round 2.

Plenty of people still on their 90s drugs.

Not enough Radiohead! They released 13 singles in the 90s, why the hell were 7 not nominated?!

Last call for entries to Heeps.

6pm deadline if you fancy your chances

A breakdown of songs by year.

Mean is 1994.4.

Median is 1994.

So, a relatively even spread.

Good geekery!

Surprised it's so even, I'd have thought early and late would be lower due to people not being exactly sure when songs were released and thinking some may have been 80s or 2000s

I sent an entry for each year

That reads wrong. My entry had one song from every year of the decade

quickbeam

On purpose or coincidentally?

Cool. Clever!

8/10 of mine were from the first half. Only two were from the second half.

Something similar. Three of mine were 97/98, the rest were all 94 or earlier.

Triceratops Ballet

I've one from '96 and one from' 98 everything else '91-'95

Declan A Walsh

I nominated 3 from 1990, 2 from 1991, 2 from 1992 and one each from 1994, 1996 and 1999.

rainbowtrout

I have one from 90, one from 91, five!! from 93, one from 95 and one from 96. That wasn't intentional. However I didn't nominate any Blur, Radiohead, Oasis etc which I knew would get nominations otherwise I'd say mine would have been 95-97 ish.

I nominated two 2Pac songs.


Radiohead and Prodigy heads, make yourselves known...
