Daily Flashback

[Chris_2k11]

I've thought of a new game (well kinda nicked it off another forum haha) at the beginning of each week i'll pick an artist or band, then each day for that week pick a song by them for people to give a rating of out of 10 and just a line or two about what they think of it. Then at the end of each week out of the songs i've chosen (7 altogether) i'll say which one got the highest score :) ok i'll post the first song for Tuesday in a sec and this week's first artist is..


Robbie Williams

[Perdita]

Love it, love it, love it :heart: One of his best performances imo, I am going to be bold and give 10/10, but that does not mean that I would not give the same score to a different track.

[Siobhan]

oh no.. I know it is everyones fav but it has gotten to much air play.. it annoys me to the point of killing robbie... 1/10 (he got one cause I like him)

[Perdita]

oh no.. I know it is everyones fav but it has gotten to much air play.. it annoys me to the point of killing robbie... 1/10 (he got one cause I like him)

I suppose it was played a lot when it first came out but I don't hear it so often these days and quite enjoy it when I do. I can appreciate where you are coming from though.

[di marco]

i love this song! imo its his best song, though as i dont like robbie im only gonna give it 9/10

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

10/10 Im not Robbie's biggest fan but this is a good tune :)

[Bryan]

10/10 one of the best songs of all time, if not a tad overplayed!

[Chris_2k11]

I love it but it is slightly overrated at times therefore 9/10

[Chris_2k11]

'Rock DJ' [2000]

I second that. I can only listen to it with the video, it's boring otherwise.
