Another nom from theDuke and this time he's gone with wrinkly old rockers Status Quo. With approximately a million releases since their first album in 1968, there should surely be one you want to nominate (looking at no one in particular Tech).

Noms to be in by 10pm Sunday evening, leave a link to your nom and come back to vote next week if you can.

Enjoy the weekend.

"(looking at no one in particular Tech)"

i completely forgot all about this - what a wasted opportunity for a bit of slander and disrespect! i honestly would (i've seen them live y'know!) have nominated 'sweet caroline', but hey ho!

Still at least nobody nominated the god awful 'In The Army Now'.

It's actually surprising how few of the big hits have been nominated (the good ones from the 70s, not the Quo-lite disappointments of the 80s).

Down - 4
Red - 3
Marguerita - 2

I did suggest over on the noms thread, if folks could choose less well known tracks, simply because we've all heard the big hits to death and back. I was hoping to see a playlist showcasing some of the lesser known songs, as there are some real gems in their back catalogue, especially the early stuff. A few well known tracks have 'sneaked' on to this playlist, but that's okay. It's all good stuff! :)

8 voters for the 10 noms, could have been a lot worse.

Leading the charge this week, and scooping the gold, 15 points for Paper Plane puts Spacepig atop the podium. 3 points behind and a sliver for Jemma with Pictures of Matchstick Men. 10 points was enough to give Sera69 the bronze for Gerdundula.

Again, no wooden spoons.
