Back again with Bob - surely the most covered songwriter ever. I'm not ruling out duplications of songs, in case you think you know a version better than one already nominated, but I might ban duplication of artists.

The next five themes are:

Theme 377 - "Horsin' Around" - Songs about horses, be it in the title or lyrics..your choice. - thedoo doo doo Duke
Theme 378 - The The - Songs titles beginning with "The" by bands/artists that officially begin with the word "The" - Helen
Theme 379 - Rolling Stone has listed its 200 Best Singers of All Time. Who did they miss out? - Val

Theme 380 - Wildcard Round 16
Theme 381 - "This Is Not A Love Song" - Songs about social issues - KJS

We could do with some new themes and they can be added at:

Hope it's ok to have another version of Knockin'...? Happy to change it: I have a reserve option.

This one is v different to the Low version - a highly medicated (pain meds & speed) and sweaty Andrew with broken ribs (angry boyfriend, allegedly, not his boyfriend, someone else's) and a v hungover Wayne (with a bucket near him incase he was sick, classy), from their Wake concert at the Royal Albert Hall '85. Anyway, will probably get no votes. Hmph.

Fine by me. At least it's not the insufferable (and interminable) Guns 'N' Roses version.

Luckily then that I missed nomming, Timtim. Axl Rose may be a tw@t but I'd have defo nommed that, along with The Rolling Stones "Like A Rolling Stone".

Another theme bites the dust. The four tracks that got to double figures make up our winners.

In first place, 5 out of 6 voters awarded points (16 of them) to Helen and the late Mark Lanegan. A tie for second, both on 12 points, we have Tim (Low) and KJS (Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity) and in third place it's Jemma with Manfred Mann on 12 points. A wooden spoon on it's way to Duke for his nomination of Stereophonics. Good work everyone.
