TEA UPDATE
-We have no more ties with the next lots of votes coming in (thank goodness that decimal allowance for the rate ensured I didn't have to go and manually count how many 10s etc songs got to try and break ties)
-The entry I thought would do well has finally broken into the top 40 - could that act be experiencing a slow build to the top?
-An era one would have assumed would struggle has a few entries in the top 25!
- @Mina, @DJHazey, @iheartpoptarts & @Petty Mayonnaise - some of your faves actually really need your help!

Yes please, since we agree on a few things (Sinead & Johnny especially), I'd love you to have your say here! :)

Finally starting to score after giving the playlists a few run throughs. I'm stanning the 60s HARD right now. Was really disappointed by the Bananarama song since they're often referenced with La Roux but maybe other tracks by them would be worth checking out.
He/Him
I became quite fond of this Bananarama song after a few listens, it certainly stands out here. I look forward to your scores and thoughts.
P.S: That 60s list is indeed killer!

@CorgiCorgiCorgi - want to add this to your to do list? You are already in a decade vs mindset..
Probably because the song isn't a Bananarama song. It's a Fun Boy Three song and isn't really representative of their stuff.
He/Him
Ha! Great pick up!! My attention to detail wins me awards again!

So the 60s are completed -- 6.9 - 10x2 - 4x2
What I noticed most is how the debut is often towered over by other songs later in their careers. I'm not complaining by any means, because I understand what the rate was and I'm sure other people will be speaking to this for their favs too. Sometime down the road, somebody HAS to do some kind of 60s-only girl groups rate with a bunch of hit songs and I'll be stanning for my life.
My Dad's radio played nothing but the 60s when I was young so all of the hits are ingrained in my brain forever and the bubblegum pop style of a lot of the music really helped formed why I like modern versions of this kind of pop.

I'd definitely vote in that and be a back-up host even if you'd like to pair up for a rate in the future!
I'll iterate over this and write some commentary, but right now the 60s have the highest average from me by far. Whoever was scared that those classics would lose over 90s and 00s childhood bops - I don't think you have to worry.
He/Him
Yes, although I grew up along the 90s and the music from the 00s is super familiar - there is no denying the greatness of the other lists - especially the 60s!
