That is my 'field of expertise,' if I have one. With the possible exception of Corp. Whore (and maybe Billy for the Wyrd stuff), there is no one more steeped in this stuff than me. And the response to my absolutely favorite stuff, the very reasons why I'm obsessed with modern interpretations of traditional song? I might as well have served up a Michael McDonald playlist. Absolutely everything I love, dismissed out of hand. My conclusion?
You're all a bunch of cloth-ears.
It's the only logical conclusion.
Go figure.
I love a lot of folk and have a decent selection of it too but I'm not the most knowledgeable on it and yet it's the only Cup I ever won.
If there is such a desire for a redrawn Cup, maybe instead of voting A or B we could give them a rating out of 10 instead. Thereby the highest grossing tracks (total points divided by number of votes) could feature in some sort of play off for extra points....
