[Rob]

After Duke,

My next nom comes from my favourite album of this year - "Year of the Tiger". A whole album of songs written by an artist haunted by the death of his father in the 1970s - lyrically and musically, it's a compelling album.

So how did I miss Larkin Poe's bluesy rockin' goodness? Had heard the name but thought they would be a bit fey, folky and nebulous - going to have to invest. The other 2 I've got and I guess your taste is your taste as the others didn't come close to tickling may fancy ('cept maybe CBP & MS).

[theDuke]

And that's that.

Quite a result then, the three winning songs all bunched up together, but the winning song stormed away with it, leaving the rest to eat it's dust trail!

Cripple Black Phoenix takes the gold handsomely, garnering a very healthy 22 points, so R2's winner is Spacepig, top choice sir!

Some way back, but a good track it is, Staring At The Sun by Wooden Shjips, takes the silver, nominated by Johnny; with one point fewer the bronze goes to Dylan Thomas/Bitter Bitter by Duke of Norfolk, nominated by Fishy Jim.

Congrats to you three, especially Spacepig.

[Lez]

I wuz robbed! Duke of Norfolk was mine, not Jim’s!

[Jemma]

Morning Lez. Not only wuz you robbed the whole voting is wrong - Sera voted twice. Sera’s vote was the first on the list. Message 18
Bit late now I suppose but maybe Dunk needs another count-up. 🤨

[Rob]

Are FIFA running this vote or something?

[Lez]

Rob wrote: "Are FIFA running this vote or something?"


😀😳

[Lez]

Never mind, removing Sera’s duplicate votes just means mine drops down to 8, making Criminal Code, Larkin Poe and Thumpermonkey joint 3rd. ☹️

[Jemma]

Best left alone then Lez. 😂

[Sera69]

oh boy... i messed that one up! Well, Halfway improved on a second listen!!

[theDuke]

Oh hello, wos gowan on 'ere then? Have i messed up?

I'll check it again.. hang on...

[theDuke]

Right, i see..Sera gets to go on the naughty step then, and i owe Lez an apology, sorry Lez!

So yeah..er...the result as Jemma says:

Madman - Crippled Black Phoenix - 18 points - Spacepig
Staring At The Sun - Wooden Shjips - 11 - Johnny

And i can't bothered to seperate the 3 joint 3rd placers, so....

Dying Destiny - Criminal Code - 9 - Nick
Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues - Larkin Poe - 9 - Duke
Veldt - Thumpermonkey - 9 - Fishy Jim...again!

Sorry Lez...i wasn't paying attention, and so didn't see the error, hard luck.

[Fishy_Jim]

I demand a second referendum! 😂

[Brass Neck]

No deal. Now just crash out.
