go for it
I'm thinking about doing a Steps Top 30 / Top 25. Is anyone remotely interested before I start?
go for it
i am!
I didn't think, I just posted
I never had you down as a Steps fan
Top up, Sue?
I'd be interested in a steps top 30, but dead against a top 25. For personal reasons.

OK. I will do it soon. It will take some SERIOUS consideration. Steps are possibly a bigger obsession of mine than Kylie and Eurovision. Well, they were in their day anyway.
Talk about a WALKING CLICHE
It's been too long, it's been too long...

And oh...
Oh HOW MANY YEARS
Is it NOW Maurice?
I HOPE IT ALSO INCLUDES B SIDES AND RARITIES
Yes, I know. In my defense, I was 16 when Last Thing On My Mind was released, was just in the process of coming out, and they were the acceptable face of gay culture at the time. It was inevitable I'd end up a fan. And, let's be honest, they released some of the best pop songs ever recorded.
Moonbaby, there will indeed be rarities and b sides. IN FACT, a rarity will be vying for No. 1 spot.
LOL
It's been too long, it's been too long...
Faced between a choice between Steps, Tony and Simon from Eastenders and Elton John, I know who I'd choose.

I was ELEVEN when Steps launched and even I knew they were crap. Shame on you RobotBoy. I'm going to tell Robyn.
MOTIV8 VOCAL SLAM
I was 11 too...I liked them, I was quite excited by the "5,6,7,8" chart run and later I bought "Last Thing On My Mind". Ironically, considering it was what really put them in the big league, I went RIGHT off them with the release of "Heartbeat/Tragedy" both of which I thought were turdlike. From then on I ´judged them only on a single-by-single basis

I would prefer this to come from FLOELLA because LET'S FACE IT
But I would read it
FEARLESS FEMALE
I actually own Heartbeat/Tragedy on cassette single because I think Heartbeat is rather lovely. Tragedy has always been atrocious.
I probably like (to varying degrees) about eight of their songs, at the most.

Can't wait!
If being myself is what I do wrong
Then I would rather not be right
OK then... The Top 30 is on its way!
Here's the 5 songs that just missed out on making the final cut...
31. Since You Took Your Love Away (Steptacular)
32. Baby Don’t Dance (Gold)
33. This Heart Will Love Again (Step One)
34. Only In My Dreams (Gold)
35. I Surrender (Steptacular)

ONLY IN MY DREAMS 34?!
BAN ROBOTBOY
"This Heart Will Love Again" was on "Step One" was it NOT?
I didn't think, I just posted
Youtubes?! Pah, I can't put those on my mp3 player!

Indeed it was.
I'm praying 'Experienced' didn't get anywhere near the countdown!

Only In My Dreams BETTER not be a DEBS cover
More like the acceptable face of corporate kiddie fleecing pop
It was - sorry! Editing now.
the best Steps album track is blats "Luv U More"
*based on the fact that I have only ever heard the "Step One" album
I didn't think, I just posted
It was SO derivative of their earlier work, but minus half the joy. It's still an 8/10 for me though. I loved A LOT of their songs, so 34's not that bad really.
I absolutely refute that. Steps' success was so accidental. S Club were the acceptable face of corporate kiddie fleecing pop.
NEWSFLASH: BANDS CAN record songs with the same names as other songs and NOT BE THE SAME THING
Loomer is making me crosser than I already am reading this thread. GO AWAY WE DON'T POLLUTE YOUR MORRISSEY CRAP.
30.
'Words Are Not Enough' (Single from 'Gold')
No. 5 (Singles Chart)
So, the chart begins at the very end of their career. The last ever Steps single felt like a bit of a washout at the time, but was actually a really rather lovely song particularly in its live arrangement. This performance is the fully live CDUK performance that they somehow nailed vocally. Lisa's harmonies are really pretty and it was this performance that really sold the song to me after being initially unimpressed at the recorded version. It's also the only Steps record I ever promoted as they split up just as I joined the promotions company! Damn them!
I'm not DEAF!
We've had THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE
The b sides were SO much better on that single. I loved IKHSW
The Almighty mix was the NUTS
I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for high positions for 'You'll Be Sorry' and 'Paradise Lost'.

Newsflash: Steps are no BAND
And given the amount of horrific covers Steps have inflicted upon the world, I don't think it was wrong for me to assume they'd do it again.
And Suomi - the original Sunscreem version of Love U More is far betterwell, admittedly I haven't even heard their version but there's no way it would be.
Steps are better than S Club. But then who ISN'T. I don't even hate them, I just found that gay culture comment hysterical. And Steps were ruthlessly geared toward profit - it's Pete Waterman for chrissakes. They're more calculated than HITLER
I'm banning Loomer.
