So, apart from your hobby of making lists of music then naming them 'the best xxx', do you have any affiliation with Cambodia?
I actually signed up because I'm interested in getting out to SEA this winter and wanted to comment on the thai visa thread.

Was doing this music stuff so thought I'd stick it on here as well. Wasn't intended to start a shit fight, although on reflection I can see potential for it developing that way haha. If I comment again I will try to limit it to replying to any posts I agree with. The links are great on here that's the main reason I posted, plus I guess for people to enjoy the songs if they wanted. Thank you for letting me post them on your site anyway.

I think it's been more an obsession than a hobby tbh. I've spent weeks doing it.

He’s heard the 12” version of “Cambodia” by Kim Wilde, it’s number 1,785,884 on his list of records he’s used in lists.

I'm not looking for likes per se, and am actually perversely quite proud of how few I've achieved, but one for my polite and courteous reply above wouldn't go amiss, and would be a reasonable gesture in my opinion. :thumb:

Umm, you're not looking for likes, but you're asking me for a like. %)
Showing your age I think. I had you tagged for early 30s, but now I'm thinking maybe mid to late teens.

Ok, I give you one positive like, not for your polite and courteous reply, but just to make you happy.

Sadly, though, I am forced to give you a negative vote for this pathetic excuse of an answer.

Seems to have evened things out. :hattip:

G'donnya PI - keep groovin' i reckon.

Only two crimes committed in my view, but maybe just short of hanging offences. maybe.
i/ Putting My Guitar on a Rock list.
ii/ Thinking that pop and disco was worthy of mention.

:assasin:

HOW????
I have over the past year felt many times some posts deserved one

I think your comment should have gone on the rock records thread ?

I have always like House of the Rising Sun, but it 'went out' surprisingly early. I don't believe it compares to the rock records I've chosen. Same with california dreamin.

You make loving fun made it. A couple of others from rumours were close.

Roxette's a great shout. I have something from a couple of years ago that still hurts and as a result I can not listen to It must have been love unfortunately, so I can't assess it.

[Mod edit: Sorry OP, my post was not directed at you or your thread. Being a new member, you may not have picked up the 'in house' joke directed at another member who has never gotten over the CEO exec decision that negative karma was more trouble than it's worth and at every opportunity, will complain about it...hence, 'the broken record'. Anyway, I put the oldie genre vids in a spoiler so as not to derail the topic. Carry on.]
