Finally finished this up and my word some of these 70's songs are boooooorrriiiiiing. And I felt badly scoring some of the amazing ladies of the 60's and 80's so poorly, but really bar 2 or 3 from the 90's and 2000's onwards, the majority of these acts are not represented by their best material. In fact, many are by their worst.

I just don't think it's going to come together, sorry. I'll try and follow along though!
Were people rating either version of No No No? I had never listened to part 2 before, part 1 is much better.

Someone's commentary compares the two but I have only ever known Part 2...
I'm just listening to the songs again right now and then I'll send it.

Part 2 was the single version (and the only version that received a video). I think @berserkboi is allowing people to rate any version they want, though...
What time is Tuesday morning Melbourne time? Basically I'm only two-thirds of the way through listening and won't have enough time to finish tomorrow, so would have to send in either a shoddy partial set of votes (shudder) or send in late.

@unnameable - it would be around 1am Britain time but if you are a couple of hours late, it's still ok. Where are you located in the world?

You have about 20 hours left (although let me know if you need a little extra time)

I've had a lovely day of voting. My 10s didn't necessarily go where I thought they would!

Done.
Wish we had a 10s section too, though thinking of it made me realize how little girl groups there have been since 2010.
At best I'd come up with a 5-act 'half list' like:
- Little Mix
- Fifth Harmony
- Icona Pop
- G.R.L.
- From Above
Even including flops like Vanquish and BeachGirl5 getting to 10 seems like a challenge for this decade so far.

This is the point I was making a couple of pages ago.
Since this rate is restricted to acts who have had at least one top 20 hit in the UK, US and Australia (with twelve bands per decade) the list for the 2010s would be Little Mix, Fifth Harmony, Haim, G.R.L., Icona Pop, Stooshe, Girls Can't Catch, Parade, Neon Jungle and... who else? I can’t think of three more bands to finish the list, and several of the nine I listed never managed a second top 20 hit.
Compare that with the sheer number of girl bands who got excluded from the nineties and noughties lists due to lack of space.
