My Votes are highlighted in Bold below.

Match 5: Fire and Rain - James Taylor v My Sharona - The Knack

Match 6: Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, - Abba v Roll Over Lay Down - Status Quo : It was one or my nominations from the qualifiers.
I wonder will there be any other Status Quo song nominated, such as their only Number 1 Down Down.

Match 7: Somebody to Love - Queen v Rapper's Delight - Sugarhill Gang

Match 8: God Save the Queen - The Sex Pistols v Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel. Had to go with my gut on this one as the other song is a more significant piece of work.

The Knack

Abba

Sugar Hill Gang

Simon and Garfunkel

Match 7: Queen 3 - 6 Sugarhill Gang
Match 8: Sex Pistols 6 - 3 Simon and Garfunkel

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Donna Summer - I Feel Love - yeah it's grand, weakest match of the lot though.

Abba - Mamma Mia - far from the best Abba song, but still a classic.

Kansas - Dust In The Wind - really tough call, would've had both of these ahead of any other song in these 4 matches.

The B-52's - Rock Lobster - I do love this one, had it on the shortlist.

Match 9 - I Feel Love - Donna Summer

Match 10 - Take Me Back 'Ome - Slade

Match 11 - Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

Match 12 - Rock Lobster - The B52s

#9 - I Feel Love

#10 - Slade, because Mamma Mia isn't one of ABBA's best imo

#11 - Don't Fear The Reaper - have to respect the One Hit Wonder winner!

#12 - Rock Lobster, just for the lolz.
