    JAM 72 (69)
    POG 99 (99)
    REM 69 (60)


    Even not calculating penalty points, The Pogues comfortably walked away with the win.

    Congrats to The Pogues (Cookie), who I believe has just become the first 2-time BotB Champion!
    And if I am not mistaken, the first artist that has been in a Play Off round early on, and gone on to win the whole thing!

    Proof that it could be anyone, even if they get off to a bumpy start early on!


    Commiserations to The Jam (Pinstripe), who had been one of the leading contenders all the way through the competition.

    And the REM (Tim-Time), who crttainly proved to have the quality, but perhaps not the total faith in the band's 80's catalogue towards the back end of the competition.

    A big thank you to everyone that took part in this competition, to the Jury for voting throughout and stasying so invested all the way to the end.

    Prize $v's will be sent to all shortly. Well, at some point tonight, at least, lol.

    Hope to see you all back for BotB IX.

    Congratulations

    The Pogues

    CookieMonster!

    Cheers lads!:50:
    Unlucky Pinstripe and Tim, the way the votes started thought it was going to be close. Loved the REM final songs as well.

    And I don't think Cookie even used the Fairytale of New York in this comp off the top of my head. Further proof, if proof were further needed, of the quality there.
