Back to our usual themes and here's hoping Sera is able to stick around and that Collette and Jenna make their way back into the fold. Helen's after song titles only and featuring traffic light colours - red, yellow (or amber) and green. Shouldn't be too hard so get your thinking caps on.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 388 - Initial impressions - Tracks with initials in the title - Fishy Jim
Theme 389 - 80's Movie Soundtrack Songs - Collette
Theme 390 - Song 101 - TheFoe
(A song by a solo artist or band who have had a number one hit single. The songs you nominate must not have made it to the top 100 singles chart but must be from the album that had a number one hit.)
Theme 391 - AA - Songs that start with the letter "A" by bands (discounting the word "The" i.e The Associates would be acceptable) or artists (either first name or surname is fine) that start with the letter "A" - Helen
Theme 392 - Song titles containing any word that appears on a traditional UK Monopoly board - Val

And new themes can be added at:

Well the lead changed many times over the voting period but we have a clear result:

1st: It's Jemma with 22 votes for Billy Ocean - I will bore you once again by telling you I once got to meet him backstage and he's the nicest bloke you could ever hope to meet. He was supporting UB40 but I'm not a fan of theirs and left after Billy's set.
2nd: It's me and The Twilight Sad on 21 votes - Go Scotland!!
3rd: It's Duke with 19 votes for New Model Army.

Thanks everyone for joining in and I hope you enjoyed the varied selection. A wooden spoon for Tim and Robert Wyatt - he was likely No. 7 on a few voting lists.

I better hit the road along with red riding hood then!
