Match 50: Gary Numan/Tubeway Army (one of my nominations)
Match 51: The Doors (not a fan of Bob Marley or reggae in general)
Match 52: Blondie (not my favourite of their songs, but Debbie Harry is an icon)

Match 53: Lou Reed (a classic - I completely forgot about it)
Match 54: Carly Simon (I like both but will give it to Carly SImon as Queen have a couple other songs in the competition that could go far)
Match 55: Kate Bush (I think itis one of my nominations)
Match 56: Thin Lizzy (ouf, tough one, Papa was a rolling stone had a couple of great covers in the 80s-90s, but this is one of teh Lizzy songs I really like)

It's fierce difficult to keep track of which battles are complete - might it be easier to post all (or at least more) at once instead of only four matches per "round"?
