After Lez

have to agree with Helen, this list didn't do much for me. Very hard to choose a nomination in the first place (so many great songs with 'light' or 'dark' in the title) and then very easy to vote because only a few hit my sweet spot.

They're floaters right enough.

One of my Dad's favourite sayings : Can't take him/her anywhere more than twice. The second time to apologise.

Not to worry Duke, looks like we all struggled with your nom too :-)

And that's all folks!

In first place then, with an easy win, sitting comfortably on 27 points is, The Dark End Of The Street by James Carr; the winner of this round is KJS....congratulations!

First of the runner ups then is, The Dark Don’t Hide It by Magnolia Electric Co., with 22 points, as nominated by Lez; & with 19 points scored, the final spot on the podium goes to Welcome To The New Dark Ages by Rocket From The Tombs , nominated by Johnny.

Well done to the winners & hard luck to Jemma's Broken Bells nom...here's your compensatory wooden spoon, complete with a pink bow tied on it! :)

And thanks to Lez, for staving off the ignominy of a 'nul points', for my nom...oh dear.....as my old geography teacher used to write in my annual progress reports "must do better!" :-)

Well....I preferred Geology!

Right the next round will be up shortly..no idea what nom, and poor old easytiger isn't around to help this time.

Aye....& that's the last time I pick a random nom from a well known band! :)

Mind you....at least I got a point..yep..one whole point! Whoohoo!

'I preferred Geology!' - I had a rocky time with that subject but I look back with fond sedimental thoughts now.

Thanks for the votes, folks! My favourite band of all time and I’ve no idea how I discovered them!

Duke, I really like Snow Patrol. In other company I’d have given them more votes.

Heheheh...good one Brassy....well..i always did have a soft spot for hard rock!!!! ;-)

Thanks Lez...well....I've never listened to any of their music before....it was a random choice..cos I couldn't think of anything else suitable for this theme! But I did like that one, so it's just the two of us then! :)

Cue Mr Will Smith! :)

i don't know! yez are aw too busy blethering to notice that r.f.t.t. finished in 3rd position! i mean, it won't alter the course of world history (or geology), and high heavens will not fall, but, y'know, jist sayin'! :)

Well spotted Tech...now edited. Apologies to Johnny (surprised he didn't point this out, himself!), and to Helen, so humbly sorry.

I think it's fair to say, that my vision as it is currently, is really crap...hopefully when I get the cataracts out, things will improve...which incidentally, I'm now booked to have the first one done in 4 weeks time.

Hope it goes well, Duke

Ditto what Sussex posted Duke, all the best! :-)

Me too! Cheers! :)
