For those who can't make up their minds - is it YES or is it NO? Or perhaps both? Song titles only and they must contain one or both of those words.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 361 - Yes and No - song titles containing the words "yes" or "no", or both - Helen
Theme 362 - You are my Sunshine ... & Sun or Shine - Jemma
Theme 363 - A moment in time - Song titles containing either NOW or THEN - Val
Theme 364 - Equivocation - songs with the word Maybe in the title - Brass Neck
Theme 365 - "Repeat It" - Song titles with repeated words in them, and if possible, just that repeated word in the title. - theDuke Puked!
Theme 366 - Sources of light (e.g. the sun, stars, torch, lamp, etc but must be a noun) in either the title or artist - Val

and any ideas you have can be added to the list here:

I don't think there's any hard and fast rules but I'll leave Helen to adjudicate.

Yeh, no rules on this, it's up to Jim really. Just not v interesting having two tracks by the same artist.

Not a problem about the two tracks by Yello sounding the same.

Baccara! I was wondering if anyone would go there.

Umm, yeah, I s'pose so, if you can't think of anything else with actual "yes" or "no" in the title.

Why ever not sir? It's a disco classic, don'cha know! :)

No, I've looked through my collection, and most of them were crap! Go on Helen, Let Your Yes Be Yeah. ;-)

Time's up! I do like a clear result. In first place it's KJS with the perennial favourite, Badfinger's "No Matter What" on 25 votes. Second, it's Brass and Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" on 22 votes and in third - it's Helen with McAlmont & Butler's "Yes" on 18 votes. So 1970 beats 1971 and 1995 comes in third. Or the Nos beat the Yesses by 2 to 1.

P.S. Wooden spoons headed to me, Tim and Duke - no love for Les Go de Kotéba, Kevin Ayers or Baccara, sad to say.
