    Well there'll definitely be at least one more Talking Heads song at some stage. :)

    Ya I was surprised at some of the songs that only got one nomination ... or didn't get any.

    Damn it, if It just checked in five mins earlier I'd have put the final vote in for Talking Heads ahead of Queen. :(
