Okey doke then. Never heard of these brothers myself either....and i've gone through about 5 albums....their style of music reminds me of many other bands....not bad...but a bit samey at times. I like to pick out out something a bit different (twas hard!)..and i found this..the title song to their 4th album:After Tech:
(Can't Live Without Your) Love And Affection
Silence Is Broken

They may not be everybody's cup of tea, but IMO they're darn talented. Tech's nominated probably my all time favourite song, so I've opted for this one (from Peace Out)...After Duke

That was my 2nd choice Collette! :) I was going to nominate the song before it You And Me..but i couldn't find that on YT. I'll stick with my choice though.
I was between what I did nom, Nobody Wins In The End and Rockstar. ☺️

Ricky is obviously not your area of musical interest, but Ritchie Blackmore did steal the bassline from his recording of Gershwin's 'Summertime' for the riff to Black Night. When the other guys in Purple wondered if it was a smart move, Blackmore said nobody would remember the older record, and it seemed he was right as they got away with it.

Sorry, Lez, I can't allow that one. I asked for songs from the 7 Nelson albums listed in my first post on here.

Although I obviously know Black Night, I was never interested enough to go and find out where their songs came from. Come to think of it, I am much the same with bands that I do like as well.
Apologies for any confusion over the eligible albums to choose from, and thanks to Collette for taking control of that little debacle.Down to 8 noms this week folks, meaning we have the 3 point scoring system.
Usual rule, all votes to be in by 10 pm Thursday evening, no late votes counted.
Here's the playlist:

Well I can't remember the last time we had more voters than noms, but here it is, 10 voters for the 8 noms, not too bad at all.A clear winner then, Collette obviously knows her Nelson as she grabs the gold with Bad For You. Three points behind, and a silver for Brass Neck's nom, After The Rain . And sneaking into the third spot with the last votes cast, Lez bags the bronze with Ghostdance.
Most humble apologies, I forgot something last night.Tim, have a wooden spoon, no one wants an Autograph.

Yeah, me neither! 🤪
Apart from playing as a tribute to their old papa, the Nelson twins seem to have released a total of 11 albums under various names. Very little in the way of singles chart appearances in the UK but they did have some success in the US.
Usual rules then, noms in by 10 pm Sunday evening, provide a link to your nom, and come back to vote next week.
I still have a weeks holiday to go, just hoping that the weather improves a bit so I can get back out to reclaim some more of the garden from the forest.
