favourite song of 2016 (so far)

[Glen]

Give me a VCR and I'll direct and record the whole damn movie/s! Is that how it works?

 

Listen to the quality, though, mate. Listen.

 

As an aside, though, I love summer. As in, if I could kill winter I would, forever. I just hate it. I'd live in summer forever if I had the money. And for whatever reason, I just love shit that makes me think back to being a kid. Simpler times, I guess. I won't say better times, because I love my time with my kids more than any time I've known, but I love being taken back in time too.

 

And these tunes here all make me feel something, whatever that may be... and that's why they're in my list.

 

And for the record, the Busted tune isn't retro... it's just fucking amazing.

Your superhero name would be Synthwave Kid

What do you mean by "would be?"

[Glen]

I quite like the Busted album....but I think my fav was the title track

[Gotthardline]

 

Okay, we can blame Stefan for my 13 track top 10 songs of 2016. I was going to exclude the Thief Club songs as they have been doing the rounds for three years now and only just ended up on an "album" in 2017. But, apparently I haven't pushed them enough over the last few years, so I will include them where they rightfully belong, but I won't use them at the expense of legit 2017 releases.

Anyway, here are my top 10 (13) songs of the year:

1. Busted - Without It

2. Magic Dance - Still Haunting Me

3. FM-84 - Running In The Night

4. Thief Club - Knew Your Name

5. The Summer Set - Change Your Mind

6. Thief Club - Weight With You

7. Thief Club - Follow You

8. LeBrock - Dangerous dreams

9. Wigelius - These Tears I Cry

10. Foret De Vin - Carol

11. Palace - Part of Me

12. White Widdow - Last Chance for Love

13. Newdrive - One Last Time

Thief Club sounds excellent , I will check them out

Yuuup!

 

Most of my favourite songs, I mean like 90+% of all my favourite tunes, meet this criteria. If you can write a song that brings on the warmth of Summer, and takes me back to simpler times, I'm gonna love your song.

Really? Why? I don't understand.

 

Anyway some cool tunes but quite different to mine. I thought 'Falling' was one of the weaker songs on an album I didn't really get into anyway... but you don't seem to have been alone in your adoration for that song. It does nothing for me, personally. Same with 'Save me tonight' in context of that Defiants disc. A solid (very straight forward, I must say - very basic) ballad, but again I don't think it'd be in my top half of that disc. As for the Dan Reed tune, I just thought that album was a disaster, that song included.

 

But aside from that, the Poley song as well as Pretty Maids, First Signal and Wigelius tunes would all be in my top 20-30.

Save me Tonight is all about the melody in the chorus. genius imo. and that closing solo is perfection.

Yeah mate, it's a nice song. Don't get me wrong. But jeez, you gotta admit it's pretty generic. Right down to the song name itself... But a nice song, nevertheless.

I tell you what I really liked about that Defiants albums though, was all the little extras they threw into the songs - the bits where they slow down, Laine does some quirky vocal.........it wasn't just the normal verse chorus verse chorus like normal.

 

That's one of the things I really like about this ballad...........that part where it slows right down and stops dead. then comes back in - I love that bit, and then followed by the outro chorus and that solo....its just marvellous. Gives me goosebumps in the car when I listen at night. That's a sign of a great song imo.

Spot on mate. I completely agree.

I agree about that Defiants album and it's why it was probably my top album of 2016...Lots of hooks and Laine shows a lot of different sides on that album....Just find it very easy and interesting to listen to.

Haha I know it's not for everyone but it reminds me of my first gf who was a rocker chick and all the fun we had. Plus, it's a funky song and nothing on the album sounds like it

[Geoff]

Sunstorm, in 2016? I've heard of missing albums, but how the f*ck did I miss that one? And did everyone else too? I haven't heard a word about that since that initial thread a lifetime ago. Must check it out asap.
