    It has the remarkable ability to destroy two classic songs at the same time. Dammit, Werewolves of London would have been a great shout for this competition.

    Crash Test Dummies cos they aren't crazy and mumble excellently.

    Teenage Dirtbag cos I also nominated it and it's no Simple Man which is the superior Lynryd Skynryd track

    I believe we have a duty to vote against it in every round it appears in.

    Abomination of a track

    No opinion on first one.

    Winds of Change though - great song. And I nominated it, so I'd better vote for it.

    All Or Nothing.

    What a bloody tune kudos to whoever nominated that. Can't believe I forgot it.


    And I guess..

    Would You...

    Cos I probably would. ;)

    Match 13
    Ever Fallen In Love because it's class, and Liquid Dreams was a far better O-Zone song.

    Match 14
    Would You? for that funky hook, and also Rock You Like a Hurricane is easily the best known Scorpions song.

    Match 13

    Ever Fallen in Love. Absolute classic punk track, hard to figure out why they didn't have a load more hits after this one.

    Match 14

    No opinion

    Agreed, and a much better one at that. I would have voted for it if it had been nominated instead.

    Buzzcocks! Love that song!!

    I'll go for Wind of Change. It was on a rock anthems cd we had growing up that you could play from start to finish without skipping. We loved that cd ❤️

    #13 Ever Fallen In Love... Because that other one is just...no. Did Westlife cover it? I Would have said it was a Westlife song, but either way it's not good.

    #14 Would You. Another absolure CHOON I'm sorry I didn't think of myself! Winds Of Change is just a bit meh.

    The Buzzcocks-Ever Fallen In Love

    Because the other song sounds like boyband rubbish.

    Touch and Go-Would You Go To Bed With Me.

    Because of the sax/trumpet or whatever it is in the chorus.
