#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 17 Siouxsie and the Banshees - Cities In Dust The first I ever heard of Siouxsie and while I was 'fan' of madonna, wham and duran duran at the time loved it immediate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsOH...

#DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge 02: this year: Slowwves x Death Of Heather - Evangeline Collaboration of 2 bands from Thailand. Slowwves a brilliant shoegaze band I've known since last year; Death of Heather I didn't know before, more dreampop. Great single. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoJ_...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 18 Grimes - Oblivion Second of only three 4AD songs in my list, in my regular list that would be much more. Being on 4AD helped me get interested in Grimes, liked this album but rediscovered big time with the next one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtH6...

#MayMusicMasterpieces #MusicChallenge day 2: Internet Islands - Butterflies Make Me Sick Band from Atlanta with a single of this year, like it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0XF...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 19 Motorhead - Ace Of Spades I saw them live at festivals a few times, always great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=utLg...

#MayMusicMasterpieces #MusicChallenge day 1: Bria Salmena - Rags You can also go nude in a lift (elevator) and even have a pogo dance... Latest single of Bria Salmena, I like it a lot. The video contains a lot of blurs ☺️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gIt...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 20 The Cure - A Forest I like my Cure dark and moody which is why pornography is my favourite album and I also like the come back of last year a lot. You also can't go wrong with this classic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8d1...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 21 Martha and the Vandellas - Nowhere To Run The last and therfor highest entry of the 60s in my list is my favourite motown single. Happy to see it in the final and also getting a lot of votes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3xN...

#MusicChallenge #FoolishPrizes day 29: Freezepop - I Am Not Your Gameboy electroclash from the early 00s, very nice www.youtube.com/watch?v=00bb...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 22 Amy MacDonald - This Is The Life Amy has consistent good albums ever since her debut. Saw her live twice, hopefully next year a third time. She just has a new single which another great one; this is where it all began. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRYv...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 23 Queens of the Stone Age - Feel Good Hit of the Summer Banger from the 2nd album of Qotsa. Simple and effective. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjOk...

#MusicChallenge #FoolishPrizes day 27: Roufaida - Friendly Fire Dutch singer-songwriter Roufaida incorporates her Moroccan roots into her music with a real nice result. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9Uo...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 24 The Kinks - You Really Got Me Great early rocker. I discovered this band quite late after only knowing Lola for a long time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dHK...

#MusicChallenge #FoolishPrizes day 26: Gumball - Accelerator Easiest one yet, the band Gumball led by Don Fleming. This is a single of their second album 'Super Tasty' (1993) www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_01...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 25 Lily Allen - The Fear Starting the upper half with Lily Allen. Always loved her first album, second one even better with this single as my favourite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHso...

#MusicChallenge #FoolishPrizes day 25: Man/Woman/Chainsaw - What Lucy Found There I saw this session some days ago, really impressive. Who knew a violin could work so well in noise rock. The link should lead you to the mentioned song which is the 2nd song played. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6md...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 26 Portishead - Sour Times Sensational debut album of Portishead, while Glory Box was their only and tiny hit in NL this was played in clubs a lot as well and has always been my favourite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwq7...

#MusicChallenge #FoolishPrizes day 24: Transvision Vamp - Honey Honey Great b-side of Revolution Baby www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gSN...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 27 Pixies - Gigantic With this song in mind it's no surprise how the Breeeders would sound. Great song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIei...

#MusicChallenge #FoolishPrizes day 23: Kobus gaat naar Appelscha - Cornflakes Fun punk song by KGNA, a dutch band who's name is a wink to frankie goes to hollywood. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrLs...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 28 My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise From the great Isn't Anything album which promised a lot of great things to come with Loveless. While on it's own is already almost as good. Great noises. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3hY...

#MusicChallenge #FoolishPrizes day 22: Las Kellies - Funny Money From Argentina, the band somewhat in the same ballpark as The Orielles. I think I lost track of them after this fine single (2020) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c4N...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 29 Blondie - Dreaming Probably my 2nd or 3rd favourite Blondie track, great uptempo track with brilliant drumming of Clem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-laA...

#MusicChallenge #FoolishPrizes day 21: Penfriend - Space, Man Fun video by singer-songwriter Penfriend who I'm following since she still called herself She Makes War. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XAc...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 30 Natalie Imbruglia - Torn I did some reshuffling for the lower 20 of the list on the posting days, but I think no more; the top 30 has a steady order starting with this brilliant single by Natalie. Loved it from the first time I heard it www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV1X...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 31 LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends Superb debut but their best song is on their 2nd album I think. Saw them live a few times, always great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDRL...

#MusicChallenge #FoolishPrizes day 19: Alexandra Savior - M.T.M.E. means 'music to my ears' which it is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnhZ...

#1983AlbumsTop20 overview My list of 20 albums for 1983. I do find album lists harder to get to 20 where 15 or even 10 could have been enough, specially for the earlier years. For the 90s I probably wouldn't have a problem with a top 25 :)

#1983AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 01 R.E.M. - Murmur Debut of R.E.M., discovered way later but a what great debut it was. song choice: Sitting Still www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLtL...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 32 France Gall - Poupée de cire, poupée de son The only song not in english in my list, of course France belongs here. Such a fun and carefree song as she has a lot of. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8oT...

#1983AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 02 Sonic Youth - Confusion is Sex Second album of SY is quite rough with lots of great tracks. Making the Nature Scene was later redone as Ciccone Youth. Later cd-reissue also contained the Kill Yr Idols ep. song choice: Inhuman www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq-_...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 33 Dinosaur Jr - Freak Scene Nice noise fest from their best era www.youtube.com/watch?v=20dQ...

#1983AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 03 Tracey Ullman - You Broke My Heart in 17 Places First of two albums Tracey made filled with covers. Love her. song choice: Long Live Love (orig. Sandie Shaw) www.youtube.com/watch?v=090r...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 34 Black Sabbath - Paranoid Not a big Sabbath or Ozzy fan but this single is just a banger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti36...

#MusicChallenge #FoolishPrizes day 16: Döf - Codo german/austrian collaboration, #1 in 1983 about 'love' flying through space in a saucer that meets 'hate' who want to destroy her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9QB...

#1983AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 04 Madonna - Madonna Debut of Madonna, didn't really predict how big was gonna be but a great and for me her best album. songchoice; Think of Me www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVi3...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 35 Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime Psycho KIller would be a lot higher in my list but didn't make the list, this one also great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IsS...

#1983AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 05 Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels great album that holds one of my favourite CT tracks song choice: Mustette and Drums www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND1J...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 36 Madonna - Borderline My favourite Madonna single also deserves a place in my list www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSaC...

#1983AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 06 The Motels - Little Robbers The Motels had just 1 hit in NL, Suddenly Last Summer. A great song but the band deserved a lot more succes I think. song choice: Into the Heartland www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x6m...

#1C000LEST #MusicChallenge 37 Skeeter Davis - The End Of The World Great song that will always remind me of the move Girl Interrupted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aApC...
