    Just an FYI....

    I have randomised the entrant list with the exception of myself so the order of entry above is not necessarily the order of reveal...

    For suspense and stuff, ya know :D

    Just for the lols, here are three songs that very very nearly made the list.

    I cut the last one at the very last minute as Strawbs contest may have skewed results.... the other two were replaced a good while ago.

    Bob Dylan wouldn't fare well, sure everyone who does a Walrus hates him.

    Stevie Nicks would be top three

    Cult of Personality is too attached to CM Punk for me take seriously any more

    As the host nation, the toughest thing for me was to find an appropriate flag.

    I hope you'll enjoy the results

    Hurricane wouldn't have changed my top 2, but I reckon it would have made no. 3 on my list. The other two probably wouldn't have picked up any points though.

    Hmm! Not sure of that! I listed to a podcast about the Hurricane and they concluded that it was likely that Carter knew the men who had committed the murders but refused to be a tout and therefore took the rap for them. I think there was very little tying Reuben to the bar where they took place.



    (Hate Dylan, Love that song. It's a source of constant pain to me)

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of Dylan at all, but I like the odd song. However Hurricane is by far my favourite of his.

    Nearly ready to kick off, I'll kick off with my own choices which were made before I opened the contest :)

    After that, it's a lottery where y'all might show up ;)

    think he should do away with the harmonica. it kinda cuts through everything so clearly, just like a constant piercing sound in your ear.

    Like this
    First choices will earn 12 points, second 10 points, and third onwards 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points respectively (just like in Eurovision)
