Wild Cherry

Irish Aris

going against the flow here for the first two:

Match 25: The Flying Lizards (I never liked I Don't Like Mondays)
Match 26: Vangelis (vote from one Greek to another )
Match 27: Wild Cherry (play that funky music til you die, enough said!!)
Match 28: ABBA (tough one, but I will always love me some ABBA)

rainbowtrout

The set above is my last set for tonight. I have a heap of work to do this evening, so I'll be back tomorrow (not sure what time yet) with the other half of the qualifiers.


By the way there was some great stuff nominated. Lots of songs I didn't recognise by name until I went to YouTube and then went 'oohhhh, so that's what that is called/ohhhh so that's who sings that' and some stuff I had never heard of. Got a great playlist here now!!!
