Retro Island Master List & Tournament Schedule

[Zoots]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the fun list probably has no rules

Sure it follows the rules™!

mapspit? is that when you spit on a map?

!!!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

We're all in group two, so we'll all be facing each other (You, me, LMP, and VP

 

[LMP]

mapspit? is that when you spit on a map?

and yeah, you're right. on the first two rounds, i have a chance to win. (like 50/50, you know) but against lumpy? it's more like 3:1 odds or something!

You're going to cream me in this tourney, don't worry. I may be the only person in it who wasn't even alive in the '80s.

At all? I "lived" three years of it

 

[LMP]

'91 for me, fellas and fellinas.

 

[Screwtape2]

No Kraftwerk in any of the lists? Or is that stretching the genre?

I was tempted for a while to use Robots. I had to cut a lot of great artists though.

I'm *counts* FOUR years older than you?! I'm getting old

[LMP]

I almost used Coldplay's "Talk"... I mean, Kraftwerk's "Computer Love," but decided against it.

 

[bono_212]

Oh, I just remembered something:

*ATTENTION*!:

My copy of Just Like Heaven is missing the last couple of seconds for some inexplicable reason. If you have a personal copy of the song, it might be best if you used it. Also that means my list is a few seconds of, finally, of course, that I fail at life.

carry on.

 

[Lila64]

okay, maybe the percentage is a little lower

Really? You've never heard the Elvis Costello song? Cramps, Buzzcocks and Killing Joke?

phanan with Local Girls
Wow, no Go-Go's! So many tracks left out. Some I had expected to see on the lists. Going back to review on page 1

I know she's HAD to have heard it or she doesn't listen to the Desert Island lists tsk: ) cause it's been on at least three different ones, if Memory serves

I was *this* close to adding a b-52s song or a Go-Gos one, but then I thought...no..no...that's just pushing it too far.

 

[Lila64]

I expected a B-52's or two (VP - )

Pump It Up!

You were so close to Roaming if you wanted to

 

[Screwtape2]

You were so close to Roaming if you wanted to

I love that song.

 

[Zoots]

Does Roxy Music qualify?

 

[phanan]

Does Roxy Music qualify?

Definitely. I'm surprised they didn't make an appearance, especially something from the Avalon album.

 

[phanan]

Screwtape, how's your download coming?

 

[Zoots]

I'm tempted to put Love Is The Drug on my fun list. It's from like 1975 but it's so danceable!

 

[bono_212]

Definitely. I'm surprised they didn't make an appearance, especially something from the Avalon album.

AHEM!

 

[Screwtape2]

Screwtape, how's your download coming?

Just 16 more minutes.

 

[bono_212]

Just 16 more minutes.

 

[phanan]

AHEM!

I knew that.

 

[bono_212]

I knew that.

 

[Screwtape2]

Phanan, when you find the time could you tell me what you think of this idea?
