Boardsies Greatest Irish No.1 of the 90s

quickbeam · 27-04-2021 07:04PM

Whigfield
Oasis

I probably prefer the Brightman / Bocelli song than most others in the competition but as it's more classical, I don't feel it really belongs here.

Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger - Anthemic, would be a good final

Same here please

M1 - No Doubt

M2 - Oasis

Both songs are still fantastic to play now as they were back then. Whigfield, while fun, is only something you’d really get at a 40th or something. As for the Bocelli offering, I don’t feel it really fits the spirit of this competition, for lack of a better explanation.

I actually typed my reasons up before reading the thread and I feel pretty much the same.

No Doubt (best song left in the competition by a mile)

Oasis (not their best song but the better of the two in this semi)

Saves me writing something very similar. Same for me.

Shame on everyone that bought that single!!

There's not much in it and I've listened to both freshly... I've flip flopped back and forth too but I've just made my decision and I'm happy with it.

Cosmo Kramer · 28-04-2021 08:09AM

Great comeback win from No Doubt. And good to see that, despite the highly questionable music buying habits of the 1990s Irish general public, we have a decent quality final. A victory for credibility of the forum games section of boards.ie I would say!

There's never been credibility here, just a long history of terrible decisions and wasted potential.
