Jemma's turn this week and she has gone with 60's American folksy type rockers, Simon & Garfunkel. Wiki lists 5 studio albums, but in addition, Jemma has allowed us to choose from Paul Simon's 15, and Art Garfunkel's 10 solo albums. Should be enough for everyone methinks.

Usual rule, noms in by 10 pm Sunday evening, leave a link to your nom, and come back next week to complete the game by casting your votes.

Enjoy the weekend when it comes, it's been superb weather over here in Ireland this week, maybe not ideal for slaving away in the garden though.

Just wondering whether Paul Simon's Fifty Ways to Leave your Lover could compete with this version...

Of course, now someone else will nom So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright and score more points with it.

Whenever I hear Bright Eyes, I always think of that kid in the rabbit costume singing it on Tiswas:

Bri-ight eyes, BURning like FY-er

One of my favourite TV shows was "Brooklyn Bridge" (never been released on DVD despite having a loyal fan base living in hope) which ran for a couple of years in the 90s. I loved Art Garfunkel singing the theme song, "Just Over The Brooklyn Bridge", and never understood why there wasn't a full-fledged version of it, only the 1:05 track on his album "Up 'til Now".

11 noms for this wee's artists, giving us the 4 point scoring system.

Usual rule, votes to be cast by 10 pm Thursday evening, no late votes counted, and please check after you have posted to make sure no mistakes have been made/

A girl can change her mind. I had a rethink!

Guess who forgot all about this last night? Sorry :-(

At least we have a straightforward result.

Gold medal goes to Jemma this week with Bridge Over Troubled Water. A silver for Val and America, and the bronze for theDuke with The Sound Of Silence.

An impressive 12 voters for the 11 noms, no bad going.

tech and America........will have to decline the 2nd prize, primarily because i nominated 'the boxer'.

Sorry tech, I'll take that back and give it to Val instead

no need to apologize, my feral rage will be adequate comfort!

Thanks Spacepig and thanks to everyone who nommed/voted it was a good list. 😀

Oi! Where's my wooden spoon?

Gordon...you'll get 'No customer satisfaction' on here mate...the Wooden Spoons prize, is the priviledge of Themes participants only!

Unless, Spacepig has nicked me box of spoons! :)
