    Welcome to KolidoVision - That's What I Kol The 80s

    Anyone familiar with Surlaw will have no idea what is going on here. That is because I have changed the format slightly. I will not be providing the playlist, we all will.

    Format:

    Please PM me 1 song from the 80s, this will be your nomination for the tournament.
    Please also send me 3 countries in your PM, in the order you prefer them, this will be used as flava during the reveal, I will take the first one available to you.
    In the event you nominate a song already picked, I will ask you to pick another.
    After the playlist is created, I would hope for around 15 players, I will post the playlist and ask you to rank your top 10, as we do in surlaw. You obviously will not be permitted to score your own song. In short, if you nominate a song, I hope you will be around to rank the playlist also. It's all or nothing here.


    I have no idea how this will work or if anyone will e even interested, but let's see how it goes.

    I don't understand this bit. Are you looking for songs from 3 different countries?

    Just 1 song, the countries I will use to hide your identity during the reveal. I ask for 3 so if someone picks same country, you have 2 backups. The song is the important part, I can give you a country name if you like :)

    Done!

    If anyone picks England as their Country of choice, just for the craic, we should all refuse to give that song any points so England will be bottom of the leaderboard throughout...

    Some quality tunes jumping out at me there, well played guys

    Kol - can we vote for our own?


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Can you vote for your own nomination? Surely that would result in every song getting top marks from whoever nominated it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,421 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Cant vote for your own, I mentioned in the OP :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Yeah Zaph :D

    Yeah Zaph :D

    :P

    On a geographical note I'd like to point out that Outer Mongolia isn't a country. :pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭osh


    So just to clarify, should the top song be scored as number 1 or 10?

    I was curious myself and Googled it. You are correct, but it's close enough to modern day Mongolia so I allowed it. :D

    Yeah I think we all had issues with this when running these :)

    Lets go with your song at the top of the list is your number 1 choice, scoring max points, or just write number 1 beside the song so everything is clear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,155 ✭✭✭Irish Aris


    Lots of classics, picking a top-10 will be very difficult.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Youtube Music playlist, if anyone else uses that rather than Spotify...

    https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYTRNH_EhL7Pht-aDfnEpb2PjCeTjtjhq


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,965 ✭✭✭Clarabel


    There's 2 songs that I've never heard before and are in my top 5!

    This is a win right there!

    Also did someone submit Wham to further torture poor Homer after his comments in ShaneU's Surlaw :pac:

    I went the other way. There were two songs I thought I knew and loved, then when I listened to them I realised they're not that great :(
    Obviously I haven't listened till then for ages, I'd got an idealised memory of them in my head


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,603 ✭✭✭lassykk


    Some absolutely cracking tunes in here.

    I absolutely love the start to the Blue Monday song (had heard it before many times just in case there's an accusation of under rock living ;) )


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    I might recognise them when I listen to them later, but straight off there are four songs on the list I don't know, and also the artist for one of them. Really good list though (well maybe with the exception of Wham :D), just adds greater credence to the fact that the 80s was the best decade for music.

    Can I say which one it is that I am 100% sure I have never heard?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,603 ✭✭✭lassykk


    Yep I have to admit I don't know without listening:

    Democratic Republic Of The Congo - Suzanne Vega - Left Of Center
    Iceland - Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam - Head to Toe
    Ireland - Hall and Oats - Out of Touch
    Mexico - Journey - Be Good To Yourself
    Netherlands - Toto - Rosanna
    Outer Mongolia - Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet
    Palestine - Demolition Group - You Better Stay Alive
    South Africa - Hall and Oats - You Make My Dreams
    Wales - Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot

    Maybe I do live under a rock - was only born mid 80s so I'll blame that

    I'm sure I'll recognise the Journey and Dire Straits one once I hear them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,965 ✭✭✭Clarabel


    Demolition Group - You Better Stay Alive

    This one, never heard it.

    I have a lot of respect for whoever submitted that.
    Respect... not points :D

    Please Note,

    I had the wrong YT video posted for New Order, the post has been updated with the correct version. Apologies.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Great selection of songs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    There was one song I was almost certain someone would use and it wasn't. Fed up seeing it in Walruses at this point.

    Top ten was fairly easy to pick for me
