The Best and Worst of the 160s

[Bore]

I'm with Phil and the others on this one. I absolutely adore the distorted Megamix versions where vocals get sped up and tracks get some life in to them. For example the version of Pilot Is The Hero on 160 was absolutely marvellous...

I generally enjoy fast stuff but they don't get it right all the time, but usually megamix versions tend to be better than the so called radio mixes to my ears.

Right, it's about time I put forward my best and worst from the 160s...

BEST 10 (Take a bow...):
01. Alvin - Dream Of You (best male Saifam track EVER)
02. Neo - I Was Born For Burning (best Neo track so far - such an awesome melody!)
03. Lupin - Black UFO (still has that great little spark)
04. Melissa White & Ace - Switch! (the "2love, 4love" of the 160s - awesome!)
05. Manuel - No Control (such power, passion and energy - Manuel's best)
06. Milk & Coffea - Yellow Butterfly (a perfectly crafted track)
07. Pamsy - So Fragile (I wanna keep Pamsy in my pocket, awww)
08. Van T.K. and Kiki & Fancy - Make A Move (bizarre combination, but worked sooo well!)
09. Garcon - Super Kaiser (hope for the future of HRG - an awesome song!)
10. Groove Twins - Viva The Night (the synth hook and chorus = WIN!)

Honourable mentions:
Pamsy - Walkin' In The Shadow (Livin' In The Night pt. 2 - I love Pamsy!)
Cherry - Bang Bang (excellent cover - brought Cherry back with a BANG BANG!)
Mad Cow and the Royal Eurobeat Orchestra of Bazookistan - Vodka (nuttiness at its best!)
SCP All-Stars - Big Heart (grand finale for the live SCP concert - I wish!)
Cindy - Pun Pun Beam (this is what female HRG should be - cute, fluffy and bonkers!)

WORST 10 (Hang your heads in shame...):
01. Lou Lou Marina - Who's Making Love (ugly, ugly, ugly!)
02. Baby Gold - The Night Is Party (equally as ugly!)
03. Vivi - Just For Me (horrible vocals and Eurodance rip-off thru and thru...)
04. 70's Queens feat. Annalise & Virginelle - Get Up and Move (DDR reject)
05. Linda Ross - Love Is Danger 2005 (the original was never that good...)
06. Sophie - Drive In The Night (god, it's an 80s nightmare!)
07. Rose - Magic Rainbow (sentimental garbage...)
08. Karen - Lost In The World (such an ugly vocal line)
09. Sophie - Touch Me Touch Me (just doesn't really do much...)
10. Christine - Rain (I just really don't like this production or melody)

Dishonourable mention:
Nick Key - Black Is The Night (steal Manuel's "No Control" intro and you go to the back of the class!)

Contrary to what many people believe, I think the 160s was much better than the 150s - loads of memorable tracks and big anthems, but maybe it's just because it's the first decade that I've followed from the very start (only came into Eurobeat around SEB 156...)

7. Cindy - "Pun Pun Beam"
8. Manuel - "Sun in the Rain"
9. Christine - "Rain"
10. Kiki & Fancy - "Roly Poly Rock"

Honorable Mention:

Jeff Driller - "Lucky Doom" If the intro didn't suck so bad it'd be in the top ten.

Candy Taylor - "Destiny"

Worst 10:

1. Go 2 - "Music Come On!"
2. Mad Cow & the Harajuku Angels - "Harajuku Girl"

8)seeing all the great songs in the best Top 10 lists, It's clear to see that the 160's were phenominal. I hope the 170's are just as great?
