We have different notions of catchy or very different taste. Possibly both Tongue

In the surprise, surprise poll I already talked about De Staat. A Dutch band with a batch of catchy songs. Difficult to choose one of them, so to give myself time to choose. I offer you two, for the moment.

And a last one, a French one: Calogero who plays music on "Je joue de la musique". It was actually a modest hit here in France, but I suppose you don't know it. And it seems catchy to me.

Calogero - Je joue de la musique

The De Staat songs were really fun. I might check some more later Thumbs Up

I had no idea what he was doing these days, I liked it a lot. I had Goldman's "Quand la Musique est Bonne" in my head for some reason Tongue

Time for my first nomination, the catchiest song I could think of from my corner of the World:

There are so many that I could post here, but I picked some that I didn't think would fit in other categories that might come up. I was all ready to post one by Yello ("Angel No"), but I noticed that I Prophesy Disaster already posted one, so that took care of on of my many options. In the end, I had 6 left that I just didn't have the heart to not post, so, here are mine:

Glassmoon - "You Turn My World Around" This is a band that I love that had 3 albums and never quite made it for reasons I don't understand.

Eye to Eye - "Mermaid Man" Yes, this band sounds like Steely Dan, except with a female vocalist. I do believe that Donald Fagen is playing the keys on this one, and the Pocaro brothers (from "Toto) were also involved.

Gorillaz - "19-2000 (Soulchild Remix)" This band is a guilty pleasure of mine that didn't make the cut for that particular poll.

My Morning Jacket - "Holding on to Black Metal" I have two bands/artists that I follow religiously: Jim James from My Morning Jacket (who qualifies) and Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree (who doesn't qualify here). I know they are completely different, but they both belong to a lot of different projects.

Status Quo - "Slow Train" I couldn't resist putting this one here. This is the one that always gets me dancing around on my chair. Turn it up and rock out!

Geggy Tah - "Go" This is one more for the Panheads, yet it has an infectious sound that is quite catchy.

I know that's a lot, but I couldn't help myself.

Here it is poll # 15!

I was thinking what rules to have here but I'll just have one: NO BIG HITS please.

Have fun with this, this is a tap your foot, dance in the living room round. LOL

I'll post some songs later today, I haven' even finished my morning coffee! Tongue

What does no big hits mean? That they must not have been on the charts anywhere? Or can a song participate if it for instance was a hit in its home country but not elsewhere?

those hits that have been played to death everywhere.

Thinking out of the box, and damn catchy tunes from various folks that otherwise would not be mentioned on this uptight, constipated prog site. Here is your enema....

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

My first nomination (if I choose to add others) is:

Yello - Domingo

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

This one should be fun!

have fun, and give me feedback.

Looking forward to your songs. Tongue

Since you had a prog one, is the non-PA rule in effect?
