Who’s left? @Jalfrezi, @mjiggy, and, @SwankyWilder?

Happy with a podium. :1st_place_medal: :2nd_place_medal: :3rd_place_medal:

Yeah this is great, but I thought a lot of her stuff would be a category miss. I figured “Paper Planes” has 20 million views so I can also appeal to a higher court.

Buzzcocks was me. I’ll take a “podium” happily

In third place with 8 points
Soft Cell - Tainted Love

As everyone knows it’s better to be lucky than good. Which isn’t to say this isn’t good—it’s fantastic—it’s just this is a song that had largely passed me by until very recently. I’d heard it of course, but I was too young when it came out and I guess I’d just never really quite paid attention.

Then, literally a few months back, I heard it somewhere played very loud and it struck me that it’s brilliant. Incredibly tight, sparse but catchy music, and a really great vocal performance. Now, as part of this playlist, it just rose higher and higher until the wave crashed here.

Tainted Love is an awesome pick. I had 12inch version which did a fantastic segway into Where did our love go.

The Ronettes - Be My Baby

Even second for this one feels a bit dirty, I’m getting sweaty palms typing it. I mean, it’s an amazing song, what else is there to say? I could dig deep and say that I don’t like the way they fade it down when the drummer’s doing their best work, and, if we’re talking Wall of Sound, I marginally prefer “River Deep, Mountain High”. But that’s all I’ve got, in itself it’s an incredible piece of work, and one I would have had on my short list without a doubt.

I toyed with River Deep but came down on the side of this one.

Without even knowing what the song is I am pretty impressed my the supreme confidence mjiggy had before this reveal even started.
