    Thought Sound of Silence would've gone much further. Shame to see it go out, especially as it was one of my noms, but Turn Turn Turn is a good track.

    Ya, I don't think there's really any filler songs in this competition in comparison to the other ones which have run. Very strong line up all round.

    Match 23: Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones

    Match 24: Louie, Louie - The Kingsmen. Both my nominations, going to give it to Louie Louie, simply because I don't think it's going to get much love against the might of Good Vibrations.

    Yeah, quality stuff from a quality decade all right.

    Very surprised God Only Knows from the Beach Boys didn't get a nomination actually - just dropped it from my list at the very last minute to get Ode To Billie Joe in, thinking someone else would've definitely thrown God Only Knows in.

    Not a lot of love for the Beach Boys out there it seems.

    It was a toss up for me between Good Vibrations and God Only Knows for which beach Boys song I was going to go for. Definitely one of the hardest choices I had to make sticking to just one song per act.

    Had a good few of theirs on my shortlist - God Only Knows, I Get Around, Good Vibrations, and When I Grow Up To Be a Man. It was tough only picking just 10 songs for this decade though.
