Bloody good standard of track in this cup so far, I have to say, a nice mix of big hitters and less-renowned choices. I don't think I've ever said that before in a cup, perhaps I'm mellowing with age.

It’s all rubbish really. Too much melody and too many chords.

The next round of rubbish is up for your pleasure and derision.

I'll tally round 1 on Monday as I will be off this weekend. Round 3 will be up then too.

I'm only mentioning it because it means the vote is open until then and won't be cut off on Sunday, so any votes coming in between then and the next day will count.
