    Patti Smith - Because The Night Vs Don Henley - Boys of Summer
    The Kinks - You Really Got Me Vs David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World

    Please.

    Definitely my two favourites left in the competition so glad they weren't against each other now.

    I'll keep track of votes and publish results after 3.33pm (two hours from Kolido posted up the SFs) so we can get the PMs out to him for the final.

    Anyone else who wants to also is free to do so of course, no harm having an adjudication.

    4 very worthy semi-finalists.
    I will vote

    Don Henley - Boys of Summer - because I want 80s representation in the final
    The Kinks - You Really Got Me - has that feel good factor and I can dance to it

    Bit overenthusiastic this time after Simple Minds! Apologies Kolido.

    Sanity was restored - that Simple Minds song did not reach the semi-finals!

    I don't even mind which wins. They're both great songs. One I nominated for originally and the other I'm' voting for now, so win-win!
