I don't know most of these tracks, which means it takes longer to listen.

Usual absolute shite spouted in the voting.
The BS really hits new heights in the Cup :roll:

I actually don't think I've heard even one single track from all eight lists.

I'm going to need a while...

Even if i know or think i remember the song, i will click on the link and have a quick listen, just to see how it sits and feels within the context of a playlist; that's something i find quite important, personally. Everyone is different though.

It is time consuming though, so i find i can only really listen to 2 matches a day; but the way n/e is organising that's not a problem!

No need!
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.

I remember Penk going off his nut once because I had the temerity to not only choose 801's T.N.K but to label it "T.N.K (Tomorrow Never Knows)" , as this was making sure voters knew it was a Beatles cover, when really its just how its listed on the album cover. :lol:

I can only manage one match a day to give everything a a fair listen. I'm surprised how much I've actually liked so far considering there's a hell of a lot I've never heard.

Out of 64 tracks in the first four matches, around half a dozen I actually like and far more than that that I refuse to listen to as the perpetrators are on The List.

Most voters are a bit more open minded than you though Ray.

Their minds are so open that their taste and discrimination fell out.

My mantra is always judge the song not the artist, as much as possible anyway. It is easier to do that with a song v song format mind you.

What feels like 20 years ago, I got lambasted for daring to present themed lists.

Now we've got two, and I'll probably vote for both!

8-) 8-) 8-)

I've yet to come across a successful themed list.

Taste?

Surely there's no place for 'taste' in a popular music competition.
I've been talking about writing a book - 25 years of TEFL - for a few years now. I've got it in me.
