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.

Now we don't have to wade through lots of avant-garde stuff,

Not so fast, G - Don McLean is pretty out there.

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

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.
