The Cranberries have so many better songs, so to me its just an average Cranberries song, which is still better than a lot of other songs to be fair, but The Chain is Fleetwood Mac's best track and there's no way it should be knocked out by Zombie...

I actually thought we could've potentially had a The Chain vs Stairway To Heaven grand final, but even Zeppelin aren't getting as many votes as they should be in their own match here...

Tbh, I'm not a fan of the Cranberries, Dolores' voice really irritates the hell out of me, but aside from that I agree that Zombie has no business beating The Chain. It's the biggest upset of this competition so far, imo.

I like that a lot.

There's our next competition, best cover version.

Heard a great cover of Purple Rain by Bruce Springsteen on the radio earlier that would definitely be one of my nominations in any such competition.

Honestly with The Chain and Stairway To Heaven gone we might as well all just vote for Pour Some Sugar On Me to win the whole thing since we're all making bats**t decisions now apparently...
