Best: Bruce Springsteen
Worst: Nick Berry's redundant cover version Not sure which version of Take That - WCIWUWY was played: the remixed version which was on Now 1993 is the one I'm most familiar with and that's OK (if still a bit plodding) so I spared it a vote, but I've heard the original version maybe twice and found it pretty dire. |

Not the best run this week but still some great songs there. Went with What is Love, The Key, The Secret, Go West, Confide in Me and Rhythm of the Night.
Heal the World for worst, tempted to go with one more, but they're all just ultimately boring without being pretentiously so. |

Snow is the only option for best x (I kept saying this as a meme but it is far and away my favourite here so I am unironically only voting for him)
I've had to quickly YouTube the Red Dragon song after literally sleeping through it on SyncTube oops, I actually don't mind that one. Gotta go with the #rodklaxon |

 As there was so much discussion about Pure Moods during the listen through I thought I'd create my own version - some of the Pure Moods classics are included along with many more similar pieces. Tracklist and Spotify Playlist coming this week! Artwork is my own. This post has been edited by Colm: 12th September 2023, 09:04 PM |

Would you believe we have a tie in both polls
 if we can break them by 4pm tomorrow that'd be great!

I should have held off voting until today as I voted for both the leaders in both polls but could have narrowed it down further!
