5 - The Wolf
4 - Van
3 - Buddy Guy
2 - Leadbelly
1 - Percy Plant

Billy - that f**king Scatman monstrosity.

Congrats to GreyCrow for winning and to Elton Johns Wig for hosting, and for brunching.

Seamless.
 
I was kinda hoping for a podium for the Wire nomination. Thought it might've been a chance, especially as it was one of the few songs which didn't sound like it was by old farts. Maybe a few people had fallen asleep after 25 songs. Sixth is alright, I suppose... It was a decent playlist. Well done everyone.

5. Robert Plant - Darkness Darkness
4. Bob Dylan - Cold Irons Bound
3. Metallica - Moth Into Flame
2. Stephen Malkmus - Middle America
1. Leadbelly - Where Did you Sleep Last Night

BM: Gil Scott-Heron - I'll Take Care Of You

HM: Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Weird Al, Buddy Guy, Glenn Cardier, Morricone, Einaudi
 
Gotta give this to Rammstein, they're an extraordinary band.

I used to work for this lovely old British man Bob (he sadly died the week I resigned from working with him to move interstate and I couldn't get to his funeral) and he and his wife were just the best, old school poms, loved me as I'm also ex-pat (I lived on homemade fruitcakes) and we bonded over stuff like The Office etc... he had brilliant musical taste, saw everybody as a youngster (name a British band of the 60-70's and he'd seen them), his wife was a hardcore fan of people like Patricio Buanne but the one time he dropped my jaw was when he told me they were both hardcore fans of Rammstein and that a lot of people in their age group were too. Something clicked for them there.

Loved that bloke. Take away the fact my wife absolutely adores Rammstein and I only nommed it because she said to me repeatedly this last weekend "this new Rammstein song is a banger" (not to mention I've seen them and she was too young last tour so I gloat a little) so my nom for Rammstein was a tribute to my wife but also to Bob White who was a bloody champ and died more suddenly then anybody I've ever known.

I was really trying to figure out who'd nom Rammstein other than me.
How good are they live though?! They go off!

Some random 85yo who says "penis" gets more votes than the golden tonsils of a band who no other should sound remotely like? Fair enough. Freaks.
 
what is the theme?

Tchaikovsky and his cannons?
 
Instant nom thought is an unquestionable Billy from the triumvirate of MWWP, Porps, and Rasko. :(

Try me. I've given you votes the last two rounds and I would have given you votes the round before that If you hadn't changed your nom.
