    Yeah, shocked it went out so early. Didn't get a chance to vote for it, but wouldn't have made any difference in the end.

    I intensely dislike madness, so this was easy

    I'm not mad, I'm just very disappointed with you all...

    Match 9 - No opinion

    Match 10 - Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone. Marginally better than the alternative.

    Match 11 - Madness - One Step Beyond. The Nutty Boys at their finest.

    Match 12 - Violent Femmes - Blister in the sun. An absolute classic.
