    We should team up to remove Elvis from the competition now most of the Beatles have been culled

    No Necro, I've got nothing against Elvis in general - just thought House of the Rising Sun was final material, whereas Suspicious Minds probably isn't... I'll not join your weird crusade against the Beatles and Elvis, ya hear! :D

    The Beatles are Yesterday's news

    Thankfully everyone Came Together to unite in removing most of their stuff from the contest.

    ;)

    Meh, I don't even like Elvis in general (oversang the crap out of most things) but Suspicious Minds is a top-quality tune. House of the Rising Sun is grand but I just went with the one I'm more likely to listen to if I'm at home and fancy some sixties music. *shrug*

    7 of my 10 nominations got wiped out before the top 32 so I won't be made feel guilty about any of my choices! :p

    Waterloo Sunset should go far. It’s as good a song as any of the Beatles.

    Pfft, that's been me in every round of every "Best of..." decade comp (and the one-hit wonder one). This is serious business, after all!

    Personally I think I should have just been allowed choose the Top 32 for each competition and then let you lot fight among yourselves, safe in the knowledge that something I approve of will win. :cool:

    I think we should have a
    Who had the best number one on their birthday competition. They have to included what was No1 on their actual birth date plus other songs from whatever year they choose.

    I use a website frequently that gives the no1s from loads of different countries which could open the game right up.

    Even if you hate the song you’re dealt, you have to try and win and receive the MOBO. (Music of birthdate origin).
