    I don't think reasons are compulsory until the last 16

    R2/Match 1
    Culture Club - Karma Chameleon: Just reminds me more of my childhood.

    R2/Match 2
    Bryan Adam - Summer of 69: Iconic and always preferred the tempo to that of Purple Rain

    R2/Match 3
    Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere: Easy choice

    R2/Match 4
    Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas: One of the good ones of that genre that shall not be named.

    Ah cheers, I hadn't actually spotted that line in the first post. Although, once we get to that point I wonder if its ok to vote, then edit in reasons straight immediately after. Might give people a chance for people to give better reasons than just rushing a few words just to ensure their votes are counted. Just a thought anyway, but perhaps that will only complicate things at the time.

    I prefer reasons but I'm not making it a requirement until the last 16. Its too much hassle to police and also a nightmare for you guys when things are going quick. I will slow down the matches and raise the votes needed in later rounds.

    :D .... I mean, :mad:

    Purple Rain wasn't even one of my nominations but it's still a travesty. Bryan fúcking Adams can go do one. (He's a Brexit supporter too, not that it even affects him)

    Atomic - because there's far too much U2 in this competiton

    Sunday Bloody Sunday - and if any U2 deserves to advance it's this one

    Livin' On a Prayer - because WHOOOOOHAAA Lemon on a Pear!

    Should I Stay or Should I Go - could be a contender for the top spot to be fair
