    R 3 Match 9 - OMC - How Bizarre. I enjoy this song, has nostalgic value for me, plus, I dislike the other one, mostly because of the video I think.

    R 3 Match 10 - Charles and Eddy - Would I Lie To You. I nominated them, gotta stick with them. Am worried for them in this match up however.

    Wow. Interesting autocorrect there. Is a weetus a think. Meant Wheatus anyway.

    Also fair play Kolido, playing a blinder with this one.

    You Get What You Give, because How Bizarre needs to die.

    Would I Lie To You is a better song of the two.

    #9 - How Bizarre. Have recently come to appreciate this song a lot more than before, it's better than I thought it was.

    #10 - Would I Lie To You. Both good songs but went with the one that's a bit easier on the ear: yer man from Wheatus's voice is a bit grating.

    How Bizarre - (lesser of two evils for me)

    &

    Teenage Dirtbag it's a cracking track

    New radicals in the first


    I hated Charles and Eddy when it came out but it’s grown on me over the years

    Match 9

    How Bizarre, just because I dislike it less.

    Match 10

    Teenage Dirtbag, definitely a contender for overall winner.

    I feel bad voting against Waiting for a Star to Fall as I love it but Don't Fear THE Reaper is one of my fave tracks going.

    How did I not nominate it myself. Stupid Necro!

    Don't Fear The Reaper, one of my mum's favourite songs!

    Ever Fallen In Love, short, sharp burst of brilliance

    2-4-6-8 Motorway for starters, as it's great and is the last of my nominations.

    Will need to think about the other one as I like both.

    Match 11

    Don't Fear the Reaper - we all need more cowbell.

    Match 12

    Ever Fallen in Love - punk perfection

    #11 - Don't Fear the Reaper

    #12 - Ever Fallen In Love....

    Just the better of the two on offer in each case, imo.

    R 3 Match 11 - Blue Oyster Cult-Don't Fear The Reaper. Toss of a coin decision.


    R 3 Match 12 - The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love. Easy choice for me.

    Okay, Don't Fear The Reaper is a better song, plus Waiting For A Star's lead singer reminds me too much of Michael Bolton, so no thanks.

    Waiting for a Star to Fall as its probably as cheesy as a song can get

    Ever Fallen in Love - both good songs, but I like this better

    Don't Fear The Reaper - tough choice, but this is another favourite of mine.

    Ever Fallen In Love - absolute classic. Again not an easy choice, but this is the better of the two.
