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

Rothko

This was great

Nice to see an unexpected song take the title too.

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!

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

Kolido

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

So the side bets are -

Who had the most in their own top ten
Who had the most correct songs in the correct positions

When will you have these results up for us Strawberry?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

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.

machineheart is the best song here, but The Interrupters were the most fun, I enjoyed it the most, and that's what i thought the spirit of this game was

Very worthy winner

Great organisation LeVar, really enjoyed that

Ummmmmmmm

Sorry I missed the final couple of hours. This was a great competition. Take a bow, LeVar.

Fantastic novel concept and smashing reveal.

My top ten was almost identical to the final top ten, missing Dermot Kennedy and Metric. If I recall correctly, I had Metric 11th in my list so they just missed the cut.

Is my musical taste predictable and traditionalist, or do I just have stellar taste in music? The latter no doubt! :cool:

1. Kate Bush The Man With The Child In His Eyes
2. The Shires Lightning Strikes
3. Amanda Palmer Runs In The Family
4. The Interrupters She's Kerosene
5. Ward Thomas Rather Be Breathing
6. Wild Youth Can't Move On
7. Áine Cahill feat. Courage Blood Diamonds
8. Machineheart Altar
9. Genesis Land of Confusion
10.Fitness Cold Rain

Tell me how
