Has anyone put together a playlist? The OP still has the soundtracks playlist.

My Chic song should be included, if people want to billy it they are welcome to it but it really should be a podium contender, 70s disco/funk at it's best.

Chic would have been on high rotation when all the famous people at Studio 54 were snorting coke and engaging in other debauchery.

Nile Rodgers would have some stories to tell, went on to work with Michael Jackson, Bowie and then Daft Punk, the ultimate hitmaker.

Mate its not going to be a podium contender, it was nommed two weeks ago.

Thanks, looks like I'm in with Londonbeat then, will probably cop the billy now everyone knows that's my song.

Good to see Cutty Ranks representing Jamaica, I'll probably give it 5 just for his name alone, such a Jamaican name.

If people want to billy Londonbeat they are welcome to it but they should be aware that song went to no.1 in 6 countries and was top 10 in 3 other countries.

Pretty amazing when they shot that video in one of those DIY music video places in the UK for about 50 quid, the strength of that song still took it places.

I might have to re-think giving Cutty Ranks my 5 too, the guy's no Bob Marley, he's closer to Crazy Frog.

Can't see how an artist can go from your 5 to sounding like Crazy Frog....no wait. Yes I can.

Because going number 1 is always a good indicator of quality
Even the Arctic Monkeys scored a no.1 in the UK so you're quite right there.

I made the mistake of actually listening to his song, he had my 5 due to his cool name.

Lots of different styles of Reggae Plugs.
Cutty Ranks is probably best known for the first line of this:


Im not particularly a fan (although I dont mind him) but there is some excellent Dancehall.

You can't beat DJ Bravo.



As far as I can make out he's a champion, Chris Gayle is a champion and Michael Jordan is a champion, they don't mind themselves the West Indians.
