The canon championship!

[sloopjohnc]

I've edited mine to make my scoring system clear. We should all do the same, whichever way we choose to do it (Matt-style or Sloop-style).

Sloop-style is way better. Way, way better.

[The Modernist]

You think you know people's tastes, but there's definitely some surprises here!

I noticed you left the Beatles out. Done on purpose?

Yes, it was too obvious they'd win.
Stupid to leave out Hendrix though, it was a bit of a spur of the moment idea!

Eventually we''ll get down to one final table of four. Doing it this way means people's preferences count rather than a first past the post system!

Yes, it was too obvious they'd win.

I don't think that's necessarily true especially depending on who they'd be matched up against. Everybody likes them but that doesn't mean they'd place them first.

I actually find it really hard to get excited by many of the acts here. In many cases even the three points are awarded reluctantly.
