Extremely good group. I've pretty much exclusively voted for songs in fourth place and that continued with Fragile, who are the first addition to my Golden Beat longlist. Marti Caine was my second, […]

This is an excellent group that hasn't yet cracked 100 votes. Hopefully, people will get around to it, as there's lots to like here I think. Marti Caine was a real surprise - I vaguely remember her […]

With Strange Kind Of Love, more is more, so in a Balearic spirit I can recommend this extended mix: https://open.spotify.com/track/6kvyePudesC51MFJRcbz7j?si […]

Each track better than the one before! Had to vote for Marti Caine because I saw Quintus was winning. (Unsure if the ranked option order is intended or not, but its great!)

Real McCoy is a straight GB nomination, great track in a good group.

Academy Fight Song is one of those songs I'm generally going to vote for regardless of the competition, but all the comments about Real McCoy prompted me to listen (since I didn't recognise the name […]

I love REM's cover of Academy Fight Song and they do a good job on Crazy too, but for me this is an easy vote for one of my favourite singer/songwriters over my favourite group. 'Lost in Space', […]

I remain unconvinced that the two (current) leaders in Q1 would have been the same on Twitter. I remain thankful too :)

Well that’s bloody lovely of you, thanks! Glad people seem to be enjoying & discovering. It’s always driven me bananas that it tends to be only the most obvious Aust artists to get out of the […]

Didn't know about any of these acts before - now I got 4 GBs. Total group of death for me, kudos to the curator

Better in Blak a new one on me and probably on my GB list. An easy vote for me here.

Trent Reznor was listening to Models, eh?

Knowing there's a Sparks hive I had to go for Heaven 17 in case they weren't going to get out of this group. Otherwise I'd have voted for Tetsuya Komuro who is languishing sadly.

Ahh I bailed on Sparks and Ramones but enjoyed the other two a lot!

I feel like Owen Pallet listened to a lot of Sparks (I voted Ramones).

I have a hot take. Sparks are kinda like They Might Be Giants for grown-ups. I quite like this song. All around, a good group! I’m voting for the Ramones for expressing one of my fundamental feelings.

New site, same old being charmed by a song, voting for it and seeing that it's miles behind the others.

This one has turned into a real nail biter (except for poor PS Eliot)

These are all great and normally I'd have voted for Lijadu Sisters, but thought P.S. Eliot probably needed it more. Another good group! […]

Four very nice tunes. I was never much of a PS Eliot fan despite being very much into that scene at the time when they were around but this song hits in a way it didn't 15 odd years ago for some […]

Yes, went with TFF’s Duran impression. Wherever you go, you can’t hide from the dominance of Tears for Fears

I've played about 20 minutes of GTA games in my life, but in those 20 minutes my character did pull onto a freeway just as the intro to "Pale Shelter" segued into the beats and I thought "OK, now I […]

Ah, here we are! No-theme poll? No, I'm institutionalised now. Themes are mandatory, so this one I thought was appropriate. Interesting test of whether name recognition was still a thing in the […]

I like this TFF song more than their later stuff, much more in that early New Romantic style, a bit softer take on early Duran Duran.
