    The 1989 version was very much a Stock, Aitken and Waterman version. (if you don't know who they are then I'm getting too old 😄)

    Is that it, nominations closed?

    I'm pretty sure who's getting 'douze pointe' from me, and it just so happens to be one of my nominations. Not sure the rest will feature though

    edit; 'Christmas 1915' didn't get a second nomination, here it is anyway:

    It's absolutely a Christmas song in my house to the point it feels wrong listening to it out of season. I discovered it through the Christmas series finale of the Office years ago and it's stuck since. Great track.

    Not in the 1989 one - Band Aid 2. Many were acts that were under the Stock Aitken Waterman stable at the time, including Kylie and Jason, Cliff Richard and Bananarama with a line up change. Others involved included Jimmy Somerville, Bros, Wet Wet Wet, Lisa Stansfield, Chris Rhea, The Pasadenas, Technotronic, D Mob and Kevin Godley (formerly of 10cc and Godley and Creme and who also directed the video).

    Ok the nominations are done and counted.

    We have enough to do a full group of 25 songs and I think we can do a loser final made up of 22 songs that just missed the cut off.

    So now we need our jury. If you are happy to give your votes 12,10,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 please sign up on thread here.
