Dobbo *.* Hope it can hold on to the win, like a lost Led Zeppelin classic.
Close up top, but pleased to have been in all but one set of votes so far! (and a 12 just now woop *.) (@jim, Blitzkrieg Bop was actually my second choice for this too! Needed more punk in this x) |

'Cosmic Dancer' like 'Marquee Moon' I was already introduced to from the weekend SyncTube sessions but was happy to hear again too!
Looks pretty touch and go for me getting top 10 oops. If I can't even do it in a contest with only 15 entries I have a feeling it's just never going to happen  thanks dandy* for a mealworm xedit: ooh yay a gold medal, that helps out nicely, thank you fiesta! *.* think I recall really liking the instrumental of your entry. |

QUOTE(Chez Wombat @ Sep 25 2023, 10:11 PM)  (@jim, Blitzkrieg Bop was actually my second choice for this too! Needed more punk in this x) We certainly did!Taste *.* I slightly prefer it to 'She's Lost Control' (they were #5 & #7 in a list of my favourite non-Top 75 songs I did at the start of 2010), but thought the "hey ho, let's go" line would be overfamiliar... |

I’ve been getting mostly 3s, 2s and 1s - though not complaining after the last contest haha.
Thanks Wardy, fiesta and Dobbo for the bigger scores and congrats Dobbo on a brilliant entry! |

Aside from the sin of rhyming 'fire' with 'desire'
another very good song from Clout after also being a fan of their PFSC entry, nice choice Addy (+ thank you for some more highish points yay!)

Serú Girán - Viernes, 3AM 06. Yes - Close To The Edge 05. The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Vambo Marble Eye 04. Betty Davis - If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up 03.

QUOTE(King Rollo @ Sep 25 2023, 09:45 PM) Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook had been inspired to form Joy Division after attending a concert by the Sex Pistols in 1976. 'She's Lost Control' is taken from their 1979 debut album, 'Unknown Pleasures'. It was also the B side of the UK release of their single, 'Atmosphere'. I tried to send New Dawn Fades but jim got there before me with She's Lost Control. |

16. Ansel
Serú Girán were an Argentine rock group formed in 1978 and made up of musicians who had already been part of other bands. Viernes, 3AM is taken from their second album 'La Grasa de las Capitales'. The track was banned from being played on the radio as the military dictatorship that was in place at the time considered it to encourage suicide. QUOTE Hi, here are my votes: 12 Joy Division - She's Lost Control 10 Yes - Close To The Edge 08 Clout - Under Fire 07 Betty Davis - If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up 06 The Babys - Isn't It Time 05 Serge Gainsbourg - Cargo Culte 04 Television - Marquee Moon 03 Xarhanga - Acid Nightmare 02 T Rex - Cosmic Dancer 01 Rainbow - Stargazer |

Thanks Doctor B and Ansel. I did think this entry would likely belong to the latter!
