September 11, 20159 yr Pretty high scores for Greg Lake - I wonder if we'll get a Christmas record in the countdown? There are quite a few Sparks fans voting so Ive been expecting This Town to come out ahead, but either one of them will do fine for me! :cheer:
September 12, 20159 yr Author There are quite a few Sparks fans voting so Ive been expecting This Town to come out ahead, but either one of them will do fine for me! :cheer: Hmmm. It's possible.... Been counting the votes and I've just noticed I've made a bit of a cock up :( I've left out a few tracks. Our Kid - You Just Might See Me Cry Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free Dr Hook - A Little Bit More Wings - Let 'Em In When I copied and pasted the whole 70s list, somehow these got left out. Apologies. If anyone would like to adjust their votes to incorporate any of these then you're welcome to do so. I would have put Candi Staton in my votes, but I'm happy with my 50 so I'll leave mine as it is Again, sorry. Results will now happen on Tuesday or Wednesday.
