    The Knack - My Sharona - was on my shortlist.

    Abba - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! - one of mine.

    Queen - Somebody To Love - was the final song I had to cut before top 10.

    Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water - also very nearly made my top 10.

    My Votes are highlighted in Bold below.

    Match 5: Fire and Rain - James Taylor v My Sharona - The Knack

    Match 6: Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, - Abba v Roll Over Lay Down - Status Quo : It was one or my nominations from the qualifiers.
    I wonder will there be any other Status Quo song nominated, such as their only Number 1 Down Down.

    Match 7: Somebody to Love - Queen v Rapper's Delight - Sugarhill Gang

    Match 8: God Save the Queen - The Sex Pistols v Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel. Had to go with my gut on this one as the other song is a more significant piece of work.

    Donna Summer - I Feel Love - yeah it's grand, weakest match of the lot though.

    Abba - Mamma Mia - far from the best Abba song, but still a classic.

    Kansas - Dust In The Wind - really tough call, would've had both of these ahead of any other song in these 4 matches.

    The B-52's - Rock Lobster - I do love this one, had it on the shortlist.

    #9 - I Feel Love

    #10 - Slade, because Mamma Mia isn't one of ABBA's best imo

    #11 - Don't Fear The Reaper - have to respect the One Hit Wonder winner!

    #12 - Rock Lobster, just for the lolz.
