    It's ok GreeBo, it gets better after the first few times of crushing disappointment of the rejection of your entry...

    Yeah apologies. I must admit I lost sight of the category at times and judged them as a video/song combination.

    Okay lets go. Gonna leave the bottom 3 till last for the craic. I don't like starting off with being so negative too.

    Without further ado...

    I Still Believe - Tim Capello; Cheesey 80's song. Not a huge fan of the sax. Not a bad song per se.

    Walk Away - Axero; Really like the voice over intro. Never fully warmed to this song. The sax isn't working for me. Seems to be a theme with the sax.

    Ha this is the gym/running category. It just happened to start on an 80's song.

    One thing about this category, it really could have been any song at all. I listen to all sorts when I'm out for a run. I dislike the music gyms tend to play hence I have massive headphones to drown at the noise. Strangely the only time I ever listen to heavy metal is in a race.

    Scarface - Paul Engemann; Reminds me of a South Park song for some reason. Nice cheesey 80's tune. I can hear the hairstyle.

    War - Hypnotic Brass Ensemble; They're fantastic live. I feel this song could have used a bit more producing. It sounds a bit flat throughout. They've better songs. Still good though.

    Sweet Dreams - Eurythmics; A classic. Yet I found myself waiting for it to end. Heard it too much. The synth and melody are nice.

    Dog Days Are Over - Florence + The Machine; Nice upbeat song. Saw her live at EP years ago. She's always been decent enough.

    Pounding - Doves; Happy little indie song. Verses constantly building with a satisfying chorus. Was initially up very high but other songs took over

    Hot chip - Over and Over; used to love this song. It introduced me to the band. I happened to see them last week at a festival. I wasn't expecting much as I'd fallen out of favour with them but they blew me away. They hit a perfect combination of soft dancy music; the leads clean voice but can also turn on a harsher overdriven sound which I love. It completely reinvigorated this song and its been back on rotation. Lucky you!

    Go With The Flow - Queens of the Stoneage; Easily my favourite song theirs. Every element of this song works. Dave Grohl at his best on the drums. Might have scored higher if I hadn't listened to it to death in the past.

    Titanium - Davd Guetta;

    I don't usually like David Geutta. The intro is nice. That plucky guitar sound is nice. The girl singing softly at first. The crescendo is weak. Builds up to a slight disappointment. I dunno. I was just expecting more.

    But after repeated listening, I found this song going through my head all the time so much that I had to stick it on again and again. I've started to forgive the weak crescendo. Great tune. I'm starting to see what the fuss is about.

    Two people picked this, one was a remix but I could barely tell them apart so lumping them together.

    I feel love - Donna Summer;

    What a tune. I love Giorgio Moroder. Groundbreaking at the time apparently. There's a story where Brian Eno and David Bowie were working on a new album when this came out and realised everything had just changed. The future of music had just been born. Weird electronic reverberations and a soul singer. Who knew.
