Spacepig Pig | 1473 comments Back on reasonably familir territory for most of us, Collette's latest fave is Chicago band, er, Chicago.

I am not sure if we are allowed to nom their earlier formation, Chicago Transit Authority or not, but even without them we have somewhere between 25 - 30 albums to choose from.

Usual thing then, noms to be in by 10 pm Sunday evening if possible, leave a link to your nom and try to get back next week for the voting.

Enjoy your weekend.

It's the same group, they just shortened the name in order to avoid legal action from the real Chicago Transit Authority.

Collette | 6189 comments I was actually answering Spacepig, Tim. And being that they were only CTA for one album.. Maybe I should have said 80s Chicago only or something...

Collette | 6189 comments Up your bum! The 80's was THE best decade in music.

TheFoe | 2642 comments After Val, nice a bit rocky this one verging on metal, and it's from the 80's too. :-)

Looks like gigs are on the way back at last, nearly 2 years worth of isolation to be shaken off.

Brass Neck | 3979 comments "Looks like gigs are on the way back at last, nearly 2 years worth of isolation to be shaken off." - thanks to Bozza's recklessness I must've done over 50 gigs since March 2020, not many overseas artists though and even a few tribute bands in semi-desperation.

Thanks to the sheer idiocy of the muppets in control of the government over here, my last gig was in March 2020. There have been one or two early shows in other towns but as they all have to be over and everyone out the door by 8 pm, and have ridiculously reduced capacity, I haven't been able to get to any. One club in town managed to put on a few shows, but not the kind I would ever even consider going to and again, they had to be over by 8 pm.

Spacepig Pig | 1473 comments 7 voters for the 7 noms this week, can't complain at that.

Taking the top spot on 9 points, Brass Neck with 25 or 6 to 4. A late spurt for the runners up, but Tim takes the silver with I'm A Man on 8 points. Val sneaks in to bag the bronze, Saturday In The Park finished on 7 points.

A close shave, but no wooden spoons this week.
