Theme 388 - Initial impressions - Tracks with initials in the title - Fishy Jim - VOTING - closed MIDNIGHT Sunday August 13th

[Val]

Shouldn't be any confusion here. Jim would like song titles that have initials somewhere in them.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 389 - 80's Movie Soundtrack Songs - Collette
Theme 390 - Song 101 - TheFoe
(A song by a solo artist or band who have had a number one hit single. The songs you nominate must not have made it to the top 100 singles chart but must be from the album that had a number one hit.)
Theme 391 - AA - Songs that start with the letter "A" by bands (discounting the word "The" i.e The Associates would be acceptable) or artists (either first name or surname is fine) that start with the letter "A" - Helen
Theme 392 - Song titles containing any word that appears on a traditional UK Monopoly board - Val
Theme 393 - Studio songs with a spoken intro. - KJS

and if you have some new thoughts, feel free to post them at:

I was just listening to Jamo Thomas yesterday! Great track!

EDIT: That YouTube playlist by ILMJXXX (I Love Michael Jackson???) is frequently on heavy duty replay here.

I love it when we get 10 nominators and 10 voters! Here's the result:

In first place: Tim with 28 votes for The Beatles
Second goes to Jemma with 24 votes for Black Sabbath
And in third place: KJS with 16 votes for Edwin Starr

A wooden spoon for Collette for Katy/Kanye.
