What a great rate even if the winner is not to my tastes, thanks @berserkboi and @Filippa for putting it all together and the very educating entertaining write-ups! What's next?
The 80s-90s Lost Classics Rate - Goodbye Wes! :'-(
- Thread starter berserkboi
- Start date
What a fun rate! I am so glad I took part. It was one of those rates where I really only knew a smattering of the artists or songs, so I was really doing it for the experience of learning a bit more about some artists or music I didn't know well. @Filippa & @berserkboi (and really many who chimed in with their knowledge, opinions, & experiences the thread!) most certainly achieved that. Thanks so much much to both of you for your work & passion.
Thanks @Filippa and @berserkboi - this was a great rate. Thanks especially for the great write-ups for every song.
Let me stream Maria Magdalena and Vaya Con Dios in celebration now.

The only thing I am celebrating are finding back lost classics - a rate with well written pieces and I thank both @Filippa and @berserkboi - but NOT the actual outcome.
I feel betrayed.

Super informative, educational, and fun - thank you @Filippa & @berserkboi xx
The better song out of the two finalists won.
Sorry it took me ages to catch up and for not providing reactions along the way, but this really was a great journey and a celebration of forgotten classics, full of amusing trivia and thoughtful write-ups.
Thank you so much for hosting this rate, @Filippa and @berserkboi!

Despite not getting a Foreign Language Winner, I must say Frida was one of my favourite discoveries of the Rate, and reading @Filippa ‘s wonderful write-up and knowing the context of the song - I am so glad I gave the song a full 10!
My personal favourite rediscovery brought on by this Rate was revisiting the discography of Michel Sardou - still winning on that front too.

Thanks for the rate peeps.
You have to support a winning ABBA song.

Thanks to @Filippa and @berserkboi for a brilliant rate. Really happy with the top 3, and made some brilliant discoveries / potential song contest entries...

Thank you for hosting @berserkboi and @Filippa, it really was a very unique concept for a rate, and it's been a pleasure to follow and learn more about all these songs/artists. I would have preferred if Sandra won, as Maria Magdalena was my second choice for an 11, but I Know There's Something Going On is an excellent winner as well.

Thank you guys the pleasure was really ours. And thank you @berserkboi it was lovely doing this rate with you.
I honestly didn't believe in Frida, I'd never thought she would come this far. I'm a flop fan. But you can't imagine how happy I was when I realised she won.
I was convinced Sandra had this in her bag.
Maria Magdalena is really her best song and an 11 contender for me, too. If Michael Cretu hadn't something like a burn-out at the end of the 80s for working too hard for others who knows what they could have achieved together?

Where are my manners! Thank you for the fantastic rate @Filippa and @berserkboi! It was super fun to follow along, even though certain favourites were lost early on!
To paraphrase another Frida song, thanks for all your generous song information and thanks for all the fun @berserkboi and @Filippa. I have learnt so much. I'm so glad I participated in this rate and got to discover so many great songs and fantastic artists. You've opened up my musical world for years to come. Shine on!

I don't want it to be over!! When is the 00s-10s Lost Classics rate coming @Filippa and @berserkboi ?? Thank you for this rate and wherever you go next I will most likely be there with bells on!!

Love this idea but if we took it further, I’d kinda be more interested in a 60s-70s one- imagine all the underrated Disco gems we’d discuss <3

But the 00s and 10s version wouldn't be so bad, I could suggest No Angels, Monrose, Christina Stürmer, and LP ...
