I love both the top 2. Deeper Shade of Blue because its the perfect melancholy but upbeat song. And Scared of the Dark was such a perfect comeback song

 

[GinAg (39)]

And there we have it. Thanks for all your contributions, it was fun. I won't be doing anything like this again, until at least never.

 

[FetchFugly]

That was close! Pleased that Scared got so near, I assumed Deeper Shade of Blue would win, and it is an absolute classic so fair enough.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Thanks @Ag

 

[dUb]

A truly stellar top two

I'm really pleased and proud that my scores TORPEDOED One For Sorrow

Great work Ag

Great work Ag

I think I put it bottom two as well.

 

[Tisch]

Thanks @Ag! Not the result I personally would have wanted but it's good to know how Moopy rate these things without power politics coming into play (though I appreciate THAT system as well)

As fun as the fucking around is, I prefer a ranking that could be considered representative.

I do like a knockout, but the voting is voting against. I find what people like more interesting.

 

[ButterTart]

I feel some people really weren't bothered about this, but some queens REALLY LOVE IT. It's a top-tier mid-tempo for me. It was midweek no.1 but charted at No.72 last week.

9. It's the Way You Make Me Feel (110pts) @Suomi @Tisch @VoR

I’m glad this made the top ten, at least.

 

[ButterTart]

5th is a great result for Summer of Love. I was saying earlier it’s possibly their best song objectively.

 

[ButterTart]

I have to say I don’t love Deeper Shade of Blue, but it’s great to see Scared of the Dark being recognised as an all time great.

 

[D5K]

Thanks @Ag! Looks like I’m in the minority preferring What The Future Holds to Scared of the Dark (for me it took what was great about their comeback single and elevated it). Anyway a worthy winner and great results overall.

ACCURATE!

PLUS there's no shit in your arms in your arms in your arms bit so clearly superior

 

[GinAg (39)]

in your arms in your arms in your arms is one of many many many astonishing parts of Scared.

 

[Christian]

SUMMER is OVER
And all we are is APART
The nights are SO COLD now
WITHOUT YOU IN MY HEART

One of the all time great bridges

 

[Diddy]

I’m with you on that 100%

 

[Diddy]

Thanks @Ag , I enjoyed this - and I’m not sure if the switch to a top 10 vote was motivated from getting pissed off with the grind of survivor administration, but it was a welcome twist!

Sorry I couldn’t be there, I felt your pain keenly as you committed to a sync listen people didn’t turn up to

Satisfied with the winner ahead of Scared - I don’t know why I can’t rank the latter as a classic, it was great at the time but the dead-eyes dance routine dun it in for me. Amazed it did better than What the future holds, a triumph on so many levels.

Btw did you confuse What the future holds with Heartbreak in this city?

 

[Christian]

I’ve been away so missed the deadline, but don’t think I’d have been far off this Top 3 in the same order.

The messages going around amongst my friends during the Scared Of The Dark reveal were unhinged, so it’s always been a favourite.

But the “YOU MUST WEAR BLUE” G.A.Y. gig for Deeper Shade was even more life defining

I changed to a vote, because the finals are normally damp squibs. Why have two songs when you can have ten?

I wasn't really bothered about the sync not working. Lockdown is dead, I kinda anticipated it.

And yes I mixed them up. I like some consistency and I've consistently failed to provide accurate Steps knowledge for some weeks now.

The Scared of the Dark topic was deliciously unhinged as we all heard it for the first time. I even remember my first listen, in the square at Uni, with my mate, crowded around my phone.

I think it was so thrilling because a) it went beyond expectations b) music had been bland tropical house for years

I remember being sat on the sofa completely agog that they pulled off the perfect comeback - especially after the Christmas album. It was precisely what I wanted them to sound like!

 

[Diddy]

I think that’s where I am with the song - it WAS an incredible comeback and surpassed expectations - but now against the rest of the comeback canon, I think about it fondly more for the shock and awe and the MOMENT than the song itself

 

[Iguana]

Thanks @Ag, this was fun! What a great discography.

 

[Devil]

Just waddling in to say Summer of Love getting top five is outstanding. The underrated Steps song of all time?

 

[Devil]

Also WHY is Chain Reaction not in the megamix? Like of all the singles to leave out…

It's hardly ELITE level.

Although according to Moopy

 

[Devil]

Oh fully get it ain’t one of the biggest hitters, but when You’ll Be Sorry and After The Love Has Gone appear and Summer of Love gets a full airing (not complaining) it’s slightly noticeable out of all of the missing ones that it’s not there at all.

 

[Devil]

It’d also be in my top five
