I felt the same way but I don't think this would ever get finished if everyone only took one vote. On the other hand, I don't really have just one favorite. Plus so many others were doing it I figured I might as well at least vote twice.

Yeah it would have never gotten going without the duplicate votes

Personally I don't think there are any bad songs on here and that is an inherent problem with this game. Even though I don't have a clear favorite song, it was much easier to pick the favorite than the least favorite. It is easier to identify yourself with songs with words; so it's easier to pick an instrumental as a least favorite if you have to pick one.


Absolutely no "bad" song, just one that's a more a fav on this day then the last.

And it's Transmetropolitan by a short head from Dark streets of London as they head for the final bend. Streams of whiskey isn't out of it though. " Go on ya bastard ! "

Kitty would be a good each way bet but it looks like it's definitely a two horse race now. " Their feet they hardly touched the ground, the speed was so amazing ".

And Battle of Brisbane looks almost certainly to be the first faller after bringing up the rear for much of the way. What a shame, she's a great little number.

Second faller, to be accurate, as poor old Dingle Regatta went down a while ago. I wouldn't count her out yet though. Who's that nudging into third place...?

Shit I missed that ! Dingle fell already. Somebody would get a few quid for the first faller. Without a doubt one of my favourites on an album of favourites. I know the main melody from waaay back in childhood, one of those half-heard tunes most Irish people knew as kids. But apparently the middle section is by Jem. The whole thing works a treat. Pure Irish ceilidh bliss.
