I know I shouldnt vote against Queen but I'm not gone on I Want It All and Footloose is toe tapping terrific!

Still have hang ups about Luft Balloons getting so far in the OHW contest. Prefer this track anyways.

Need more rock, One is great.

I'm not pushed on either of these, Foreigner slightly the better imo.

I Want It All - my favourite Queen song

99 Red Balloons - would prefer if it was the German version, but beggar's can't be choosers...

Shake Your Love - one of my noms. Its a pure guilty pleasure song, absolutely adore it.

I Want To Know What Love Is - G'wan Foreigner. Absolute Tune.

35 Debbie Gibson
36 Foreigner

02-01-2020 10:58PM

#33 I Want It All, not a big Queen fan but this one of their better ones.

#34 99 Red Balloons, although its much better in German.

#35 One, not a Metallica fan but it's better than whatever that other thing is meant to be (reminds me of Robin Sparkles, only not as fun).

#36 I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IIIIISSSS, I WANT YOU TO SHOOOOOOOWWWW MEEEEEE. *ahem* Voting for Foreigner, please.

Boo! You're a monster, Fong! A monster, ya hear! Debbie Gibson is awesome and Shake Your Love is delightful!

I knew it would face backlash, though, I even said as much to Kolido when I nominated it. An acquited taste.

Zaph · 02-01-2020 11:11PM

Match 33: Footloose - Although I'd have picked probably any other Queen song ahead of this.

Match 34: 99 Red Balloons - one of the greatest songs of the 80s

Match 35: Don't know either, no opinion

Match 36: Wild Thing - just a better song imo
