It would be better if people didn't nom those old cheesy 70's and 80's videos which sound like SHIT and nominated the superior quality audio only clips. They at least do justice to the recorded songs. Those 70's and 80's clips on VEVO invariably sound terrible and are best avoided. I rarely watch the videos. I listen to the playlist. The old videos are f**king bad anyway and they detract from the song

(I'm just throwing it out there and hoping others agree with me.)

Compare for yourselves:






I turned the other cheek for this round, but in previous rounds, it's cost people votes from me.
...Poor choice of youtube clip? Pfft. Skip! Next!

I usually try to nom the best sounding youtube clip for a particular song but I also try to nom the original video if I can, especially if it's a good video.

Nominated Blondie's best song for Round 88 (first purchase)
Finished mid pack with 10 votes

Beaten by Roxette, Bernard Fanning and Green Day

I love this clip from 3:00 onwards. It's like they predicted the raves, dance parties and festivals way back in 1979

The most disgraceful result I've copped was donuts for this song in the Musicians with Glasses round.


Should have bloody won that round with that alt-rock gem.
