And a thank you to Midge for putting tonight's quiz together Smile

@Honeyroar

No Coffee you forgot a catagory. Best OP. As you know there have been four or five OPs, including Rogue and myself. But we fell by the wayside in the shadow of one outstanding OP.... YOU!

And that’s not just because you are the OP (bullied into it by Rogue) but because you spend a lot of time setting threads up, tagging us in, making sure there are lyrics, welcoming newbies, creating award nights. So the biggest trophy of all goes to you Coffee. 👏👏🍷🍷🍷👏👏👏 Thank you.

Agreed. Well done @CoffeeBeansGalore, trophy most deserved, thank you for setting the threads up and keeping us going 👏 👏 👏💐🍾xxx

@Honeyroar

I found me a place to live I got it the hard way A permanent address to give I got it for always Nobody can tear me loose They tell me there’s no escape (80s)

This and the last one are songs I loved but had forgotten about.

Heartache Avenue - The Maisonettes

Now, I know how you all like guessing.

But I'm not going to say who nominated which song.

It's up to the individual as to whether they wanted to admit to it.

I've tried (REALLY HARD) to upload a spreadsheet, but I just can't do it.

So here are PHOTOS of the spreadsheet in case you want to have a go at guessing who nominated which song

Honeyroar · 30/01/2021 22:37

Well done Rogue - who needs Elton John’s after party!

MNerGoneRogue · 30/01/2021 22:37

Some of you only nominated one or two songs.

But one person nominated far and away more songs than everybody else.

Do you want to guess who??? Bonus points!

shinynewapple2021 · 30/01/2021 22:38

Ooh party! Thanks Rogue Smile

shinynewapple2021 · 30/01/2021 22:39

Were any of the songs chosen by more than one person ?

Honeyroar · 30/01/2021 22:39

Certainly wasn’t me, but they picked some good ones!

@dexterslockedintheshedagain hello, yes that’s correct.

midgedude · 30/01/2021 22:39

An aweful lot of those songs occurred in the popular songs list !

When you say for one night only, will the playlist do a Cinderella? Or will we be able to listen to it other days too?

The name you should call your child if they are to be a successful 80s musician is in the playlist
