Well there'll definitely be at least one more Talking Heads song at some stage.

Ya I was surprised at some of the songs that only got one nomination ... or didn't get any.

[Deleted User]

Damn it, if It just checked in five mins earlier I'd have put the final vote in for Talking Heads ahead of Queen.

[Deleted User]

I'll vote for My Sweet Lord to settle that one
