That's yer lot folks. 7 voters for 7 nominations sees a come-from-behind win for Fishy (Sea Nymphs finished on 9). KJS and TheFoe share the runners up position (8 votes each for The Slits and The Sisters of Mercy). Helen finishes in 3rd place (6 votes for SPK). And no wooden spoons. Congratulations all round.

[Fishy_Jim]

Is this the point when I should mention that Sea Nymphs was a side project by three members of Cardiacs? Tim and Sarah Smith and William D. Drake had their mellow side.

[TheFoe]

I know you're going to probably think BS but when I listened to them I did think they sounded like The Cardiacs. Nothing wrong with my ears then. :-)
