Lankum were my 11th place. Was toying over it for a while but it just missed out in the end. I still plan on listening to more by them though.

I'd rather watch paint dry than go through listening to that again.

Barring an unlikely comeback from Kate Bush Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, I hope Machineheart wins. Not mad about the Metric song.

Is it a classic showdown between machineheart and Metric for the win at this stage, or could they both fall in the final stretch leaving the door open for someone else…

I found it hard to fill ten to be honest. I'm not a fan of Genesis and wouldn't be too gone on Paul Kelly. At the time though I preferred then to the other remaining few. Not now though. Should have thrown Weezer in to number 8. Dermot Kennedy inclusion was a hasty mistake.

Think Genesis is the highest scoring not to have scored a 1st or 2nd place.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

While I have your undivided attention, I'd just like to say regardless of what happens, its been fun and I hope you've all enjoyed it and discovered new music.

Also, I like all the songs, so no matter who wins, it's a song I like...

Very happy with machineheart winning. The most interesting discovery of the list, thank you for that LeVar - and thank you for coming up with the idea and format and for organising!!!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Thanks to everyone for taking part



Hope you all enjoyed the experience and discovered some new music, it was a lot of fun for me

And won't be long before the next Surlaw, as I know Necro already has something up his sleeve

Thanks for a great Walrus and reveal LeVar. A worthy winner

This was great

Nice to see an unexpected song take the title too.

This was really fun LeVar. Thank you for putting this together!

As soon as I heard that song, I knew it would be my favourite. I'm glad others felt the same

Thanks for the game, LeVar, was great fun to read along

Thanks ASLB


Was great fun listening and rating and the reveal was a fun couple of hours for music listening.

Well done to machineheart, can't say it was an undeserving winner. Now to check who gave it no points and make them pariahs on this forum! :pac:

Shame about Unknown Mortal Orchestra, don't think that deserved to come last. But sure someone has to, I suppose.

Many thanks to LeVar for giving SURLAW a fantastic debut; Necro and lassykk have a lot to live up to!

Niska

Thansk - that was good fun. Not a bad way to spend a Friday evening.

Great game Levar, a worthy winner

Sawduck

That was good fun, cheers to LeVar for all his hard work and introducing some great songs to us all

It's also worth adding, that machineheart received points from 20 people, which was more than any other song.

Actually my bad, The Interrupters also got points from 20 people, albeit a lower amount of points from most.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Dermot Kennedy got the most 12 points, getting top marks from 6 people, but only receiving votes from 14 people overall

Fair play, LeVar, really enjoyed that. At least Kennedy didn't win.
