    Yeah, shocked it went out so early. Didn't get a chance to vote for it, but wouldn't have made any difference in the end.

    I intensely dislike madness, so this was easy
    Kolido wrote:
    Eurthymics - Sweet Dreams

    By contrast this was really really hard, but I think sweet dreams is a legitimate banger so my vote goes here

    Match 9 - No opinion

    Match 10 - Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone. Marginally better than the alternative.

    Match 11 - Madness - One Step Beyond. The Nutty Boys at their finest.

    Match 12 - Violent Femmes - Blister in the sun. An absolute classic.
