This round starts on Wednesday and is the final round of League 7
The theme is a track from 1982
Well after a wee bit research I’ve got three of my favourite songs of all time to pick from here, but one is an old reliable in this league
A song that was released as a single in 1981, but on an album which came out in 1982 is:
- Fine
- Not fine

Happy with my pick. Not too well known.
not that excited by this one (think that holds true for all year-specific rounds for me) but still gonna play as finding a hidden gem or two amongst the classics is always nice

Submitted something then changed my mind as I remembered a record that I absolutely love that I don’t think many people will have heard. I don’t expect it do as well as my first choice, but if just one other person enjoys it then that’s a job well done IMO. Especially as I’ve slipped from the podium thanks to everyone’s complete failure to recognise my wrestling entrance song as the absolutely perfect choice it so clearly is.
Ooh got my top pick in
just need this clarified, is it music released in 1982 AD?

I went on a wee discovery search of 1982 after Octobadger’s great how good was 82 really thread and have submitted a fairly obscure song that I didn’t know before as thought it’d be nice to share my new discovery with you all.
Otherwise I’d have gone for Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth and won by a mile

I keep changing my sub because there are a lot of songs I like but I don’t think any are head and shoulders above the others
I like to do this too. Have had a few in the past and some have done very well, some have tanked. This round only one of the top ten on my shortlist were known to me before this round was announced, but theres a lot there I love already.

I’ve entered this round after all, as I got to pick a song that a band I like has covered. I waited a while so that someone else could pick it before me, but it doesn’t look like they have. It’ll possibly be my best scoring song seeing as I don’t have too much emotional investment in it.
I was also considering Daniel Johnston (I had no idea he had released albums that far back!), but he’s been picked a couple of times in ML and I want to continue my run of not picking artists that have already been chosen.
Having taken your place on the podium, if it’s any comfort I am playing this round exactly the same way. I think you may be one of a few who enjoy my tune but I’m not expecting to break even on points - do have a few alternatives that maybe would, but I’m playing what I like the most, especially given the first round next league is not really my bag.

Another vote for Davidoff Cool strong playlist!
Keep on toying with submitting Elvis Costello tracks but can never quite gage how well liked he is on the boards. Anyway this is a huge favourite of mine:
