Cash, his best song not named Walk The Line imo

Though I have a fondness for Build Me Up too

As we are nearing the end of Round 1, I'm sure it'll come as no surprise that the Beatles had more nominations than any other act. Ten in total. And six have made it to Round 2.

In a Necro ruled world where public sound systems adorn the streets and music and tv is controlled a la 1984, there would be no Beatles. There might be Johnny Cash though. :pac:

And westlife. Johnny Cash and Westlife remixes.

Cash is permitted in this Beatle-less utopia. Elvis too, but only on Tuesdays.

Westlife Wednesdays sounds alright I guess

Is it just Match 64 that needs a resolution? Anyone who hasn't voted in that one yet and is able to give both a quick listen, fancy forming an opinion, to help wrap up the round?
