ASFM: Forgotten Hits 2: First Listening Party Night 1

[OutSynk]

I see your suggestion and raise you a ‘nothing more recent than 1979’ ASFM.

The turnout will be lit.

 

[dmlaw]

Mozart's most forgotten symphony please

That Bandolero song was actually released closer to Mozart’s newest symphony than to the present day.

 

[RS]

There's something very late 90s about this, even though its also so 80s

Yes! The chorus is very Eurovision 90’s

 

[ZenGiraffe]

WHAT DID I DO IN A PAST LIFE TO DESEVE THIS!?

 

[Tisch]

Omg! Jodie Harsh has a dance version of this I've considered sending before. NO idea it was a cover.

 

[funky]

Had a sneaky peek at the list and are you Billie Piper kidding me with a couple of these

I haven’t looked yet but uh oh

 

[AGinAg (37)]

WHAT DID I DO IN A PAST LIFE TO DESEVE THIS!?

Not opened up your mind to music that wasn't immediately available.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Although scoring will be easy

20 Song 38
18 Song 37
16 Song 36

etc etc.

 

[RJN]

WHAT DID I DO IN A PAST LIFE TO DESEVE THIS!?

 

[Kate]

I haven’t looked yet but uh oh

Wait til we get onto the 90s basically

 

[Raining on Me]

The sequencing is everything @RJN

Still some horrible entries but loving this. It's an experience as a WHOLE

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is fine, but ultimately average.

 

[RS]

Is she singing My Hump or my house?

 

[RJN]

8. Ruth Lorenzo almost ruins Simon Cowell's plans for Alexandra Burke on X Factor

Princess - After The Love Has Gone

UK #28, Top Ten in Switzerland, Germany, New Zealand

1985

 

[RJN]

Don't worry @ZenGiraffe, this is the last one from 1985

 

[RS]

Have we ever had as many songs from the 80’s before?

 

[Raining on Me]

I quite like this my house song. Maybe less so on its own but it feels like it's slotting into funky 80s club night nicely here

 

[RJN]

Have we ever had as many songs from the 80’s before?

real 80s or fake 80s?

 

[Alla]

8. R*** L******* almost ruins Simon Cowell's plans for Alexandra Burke on X Factor

Princess - After The Love Has Gone

UK #28, Top Ten in Switzerland, Germany, New Zealand

1985

 

[Marina Salty]

Very Estonia Rockefeller Street background

 

[RJN]

Why does Alla hate princess so much?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Why does Alla hate princess so much?

Seems like an odd target.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Don't worry @ZenGiraffe, this is the last one from 1985

I'm moaning now but wait til we get to the 90s. An AWFUL decade.

 

[Alla]

Why does Alla hate princess so much?

Who is princess?

 

[dmlaw]

Why does Alla hate princess so much?

He prefers songs which were not recorded on potatoes. He’s even angrier than ZenGiraffe right now.

 

[OutSynk]

Most of these should've left forgotten.

 

[RS]

The look is very Rajah O’Hara

 

[Raining on Me]

I hope we get forgotten Girls Aloud hit Something New next to fuck with the algorithm

 

[RJN]

Most of these should've left forgotten.

the poor French holding onto their memories

 

[Kate]

I'm moaning now but wait til we get to the 90s. An AWFUL decade.

There are two EXCELLENT but EXTREMELY WELL KNOWN ones in a row. Looking forward to your verdicts

 

[RJN]

9. Paula Deen apology tour

La Compagnie Créole - Ça fait rire les oiseaux

France #16

1986

 

[Raining on Me]

This Princess song is nothing

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm moaning now but wait til we get to the 90s. An AWFUL decade.

Just stop now.

 

[dmlaw]

I'm moaning now but wait til we get to the 90s. An AWFUL decade.

I’ve skipped ahead in the playlist and you’re going to be really unhappy when you see the Daniel O’Donnell song that Rowan Tree has entered.

 

[funky]

So does @ZenGiraffe like old music or not like old music? I don’t think it’s very clear

 

[OutSynk]

Oh dear

 

[Tisch]

Ooh a beat!

 

[Tisch]

Was this filmed on the Teletubbies set?

 

[RS]

Oh good God

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The French charts getting an absolute rinsing.
