Hoping to run this in a few weeks time RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - E.N. - 26-07-2023 Sent a few there. Suspect most will be doubled up, went very obvious RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - jp liz v1 - 26-07-2023 How many can one submit? RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - Kol - 27-07-2023 We have 126 songs now, I have a few to add myself. 1 song in particular has been nominated by everyone, could we have a winner before we even start? @jp liz v1 As many as you like, let's makes this a mega tournament as suggested by one player Hopefully we get the voters on board when we start.

Having looked at my nominations, I could hazard a guess as to the identity of the one that everyone nominated! As it happens, I heard the suspected song today on the radio! RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - Kol - 16-08-2023 Thanks to everyone who nominated songs, we have 175 now, probably enough Hoping to start this next week, see you all then RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - Kol - 17-08-2023 So got a bit of time today and have prepared the first batch of qualifying matches, will post them now. I don't know how consistent I will be with this at least until next week. We will also see how many people play and how long we keep the voting open. Disclaimer: I haven't screened all the nominations, I'm relying on those who sent them to have checked they are valid. I know a few will be controversial, some maybe credited as the artists first international release and I have allowed it. Some songs maybe credit as a band release rather than a solo release, careless whisper for example. It is all a bit of fun though so let's roll with it.

I get the feeling this is gonna be one of the toughest tournaments to date if this first batch is anything to go by... HAIM - Forever Oasis - Supersonic Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag The DumDums - Everything I Do D:Ream - U R The Best Thing Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax Killers - Mr Brightside The Monkees - Last Train To Clarksville Charles and Eddie - Would I Lie To You George Michael – Careless Whisper RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - Declan A Walsh - 17-08-2023 New Order - Ceremony Vs HAIM - Forever - My nomination, but the other one is not bad. Oasis - Supersonic Vs Bad Company - Can't Get Enough The Tom Robinson Band - 2-4-6-8 Motorway Vs Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag - My nomination, no competition in this match! The DumDums - Everything I Do Vs Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight - Never heard it before but it is okay, and definitely better than the other which I did hear before! Eagles – Take it easy Vs D:Ream - You Are The Best Thing - Like both, but this one has the edge. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax Vs 3 Doors Down - Kryptonite Chesney Hawkes - The One And Only Vs Killers - Mr Brightside - Again, I like both. Samantha Mumba - Gotta Tell You Vs The Monkees - Last Train To Clarksville Sigur Rós - Svefn-g-englar Vs Charles and Eddie - Would I Lie To You - ABSTAIN Taylor Dayne - Tell It to My Heart Vs George Michael – Careless Whisper RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - Necro - 17-08-2023 New Order - Ceremony Oasis - Supersonic Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight Eagles – Take it easy 3 Doors Down - Kryptonite Chesney Hawkes - The One And Only Samantha Mumba - Gotta Tell You Charles and Eddie - Woud I Lie To You Taylor Dayne - Tell It to My Heart RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - Irish Aris - 17-08-2023 New Order - Ceremony Bad Company - Can't Get Enough The Tom Robinson Band - 2-4-6-8 Motorway Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight D:Ream - You Are The Best Thing Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax Killers - Mr Brightside The Monkees - Last Train To Clarksville Sigur Rós - Svefn-g-englar (great choice whoever submitted this) Taylor Dayne - Tell It to My Heart (very tough choice this one, just going with Taylor Dayne as this and Prove Your Love are my favourite songs of her) Very good start!!

Yazoo- Only You Daughtry - It's Not Over Vs MGMT – Time to Pretend - will abstain on this one. Lady Gaga - Just Dance Duran Duran - Planet Earth (another tough one, but I can't vote against Duran Duran) RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - Spears - 18-08-2023 Better round today. 11 - Lisa Loeb 12 - Aha 13 - Crazy for You 14 - Bjork (I don't actually know this song but voting for Bjork and her unique/bonkerness) 15 - Lorde 16 - Baby Animals (Don't know this song either but I really enjoyed it) 17 - Yazoo 18 - Daughtry 19 - Gaga 20 - Duran duran RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - Spears - 18-08-2023 Seems to be a bit of abstaining from the Daughtry round. & yet I thought it was the best song of them all RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - E.N. - 19-08-2023 Dusty Springfield – I only want to be with you Vs Lisa Loeb - Stay shame that, I really like Stay but Dusty is a classic New Radicals - You Get What You Give Vs A-Ha - Take On Me tough one, very close. Ultimately I voted against New Radicals as I think there's a distinction between a debut single and a one hit wonder, so I think A-Ha are more in keeping with the spirit of the tournament Let Loose - Crazy For You Vs Zoe - Sunshine On A Rainy Day Bjork - Human Behaviour Vs Suzanne Vega - Marlene on the Wall very tough one, but I love Bjork more overall Lorde - Royals Vs Carolina Liar - I'm Not Over abstain, not a fan of either Lana Del Rey - Video Games Vs Baby Animals - Early Warning abstain, not a fan of either Yazoo- Only You Vs Dario G - Sunchyme Daughtry - It's Not Over Vs MGMT – Time to Pretend Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK Vs Lady Gaga - Just Dance Duran Duran - Planet Earth Vs Deacon Blue - Dignity RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - Kol - 19-08-2023 Dusty Springfield – I only want to be with you 5 Vs 4 Lisa Loeb - Stay New Radicals - You Get What You Give 6 Vs 3 A-Ha - Take On Me Let Loose - Crazy For You 4 Vs 4 Zoe - Sunshine On A Rainy Day - I will give this one the nod even though I nominated Zoe, I prefer the other song Bjork - Human Behaviour 5 Vs 2 Suzanne Vega - Marlene on the Wall Lorde - Royals 5 Vs 3 Carolina Liar - I'm Not Over Lana Del Rey - Video Games 5 Vs 3 Baby Animals - Early Warning Yazoo- Only You 5 Vs 4 Dario G - Sunchyme Daughtry - It's Not Over 4 Vs 2 MGMT – Time to Pretend Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK 4 Vs 5 Lady Gaga - Just Dance Duran Duran - Planet Earth 8 Vs 1 Deacon Blue - Dignity RE: FOGs Greatest Debut Single - Kol - 19-08-2023 (18-08-2023, 07:47 PM)Spears Wrote: Seems to be a bit of abstaining from the Daughtry round. & yet I thought it was the best song of them all Their debut album is awesome, that's the first track on it if I'm not mistaken, don't know how many times I've listened to the album.
