Re: The 70s Cup- WE HAVE OUR FINALISTS!
Right kids, the final is up.
Didn't realize earlier that there'd be only 10 ties! Gives you at least plenty of time to vote.
I'll tally the lot on Saturday 1/12!

Cheers Maarts. Had a quick look, some great ties. Now we don't have to wade through lots of avant-garde stuff, it reminds us what the 70s did well.

Not from what I've voted in so far G. [up to match 4]
So many selections are outside of my experience and not to my taste. I don't feel qualified in any way to make a judgement on what track is the 'best'
I remember the 70s in a very different way

Re: The 70s Cup- THE FINAL IS UP!
I was very familiar with many of the tracks - and others were completely new to me. I didn't notice any prog though, which surprised me somewhat with Loki being in the field
There are some absolutely fantastic match ups. And I think I know exactly which four tracks are Griff's.

What kind of sadist are you? Was hearing them once not enough?
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Top Ranking Ted! Congratulations on a great win, and big time thanks to N/E for organising - enjoyed every minute ( exc ABBAgate and Thin Lizzy ).
