    Match 37: Black Betty - Ram Jam v Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly

    Roberta Flack

    Match 38: Waterloo - Abba v Jive Talkin' - Bee Gees

    While I think there are too many ABBA songs in here for my liking, I'll vote for them this time

    Match 39: Carry on my Wayward Son - Kansas v Boys Don't Cry - The Cure

    I'll go Kansas, as I just can;t associate the Cure with the 1970s

    Match 40: My Best Friend's Girl - The Cars v Dreaming - Blondie

    Blondie

    Also one of my nominations! Was never a huge Bowie but always loved that song. It's only in recent years, after he's passed away, that I'm starting to "get" him a bit more. Blackstar is a great final testament.
