    #13 - Sweet Home Alabama (I can not possibly overstate how much I despise American Pie)

    #15 - Paranoid, though I really like both

    #16 - Hanging on the Telephone

    Not familiar with the songs in #14, so pass for now.

    Don McLean - American Pie

    Chic - Everybody Dance

    Paranoid - Black Sabbath

    Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone

    Reasons: Everybody Dance is one of my nominees and a class tune, in the others just went with the songs I prefer more.

    My ABBA nomination hasn't appeared yet, I'm worried people will have ABBA-fatigue by the time it comes up and be inclined to vote against it simply because "there's already too much ABBA". :o

    Match 9: I Feel Love - Donna Summer I nominated it and love the pick up after the drop.

    Match 10: Mamma Mia - Abba It's a 70's staple to be fair.

    Match 11: Abstain

    Match 12: Abstain

    Match 13: Can't decide. Madonna and Kid Rock ruined both for me!

    Match 14: Everybody Dance - Chic Disco <3

    Match 15: Abstain

    Match 16: Car Wash - Rose Royce I dig the funk.

    Oh I hope not. :(

    Speaking of Radiohead, I left them out of my Noughties nominations because I took a chance that others would submit them - I really hope that doesn't backfire!!

    Match 17: Space Oddity - David Bowie It's very standalone and unique I think.

    Match 18: Jackie Wilson Said - Van Morrison A couple of notches above the other one but probably will be my last vote for it.

    Match 19: Lust for Life - Iggy Pop Captured a good rebellious sound

    Match 20: Abstain

    My votes highlighted in Bold.

    Match 18: Jackie Wilson Said - Van Morrison v Jailbreak - AC/DC

    Match 19: Lust for Life - Iggy Pop v More Than A Feeling - Boston
    I have to admit that after getting tired of the other song over the years I now like it again, so it was tougher than I thought it would be!

    Match 20: Tiny Dancer - Elton John v Don’t Believe a Word - Thin Lizzy
