    Round 2

    Group B Results

    Right from the outset it seemed as though there was only one way this group was going to go, with one artist getting over half of the '1' votes in this Group. The question was, who would be joining...

    Round 2

    Group C Results

    This Group really undrlined the diversity on display in this competition, and was in fact the tightest of all 6 of the Groups, with just 4 points seperating first from third, and that the song that topped the group got as many '1' votes as the song that came in third!

    Round 2

    Group D Results

    One song caught 1/2 of the overall '1' on the way to claiming top spot, but still was a group that could have gone any way with just 2 points seperating safety and heading to extra time, as it were.

    Very closely edging out Public Enemy on 23 points, but enough to send the Old Skool rappers to the Play Off.

    Round 2

    Group E Results

    This Group had the greatest disparity of any of the 6 Groups, with a margin of 13 between first and third. One thing was very clear, the winner of this Group totally owned this entire round, with the lowest overall score of any song, really boncing back after the close call in Round 1.

    And if anyone has not seen the entire of Queen's set at Live Aid, I would highly recommend it. Astonishing! :50:

    And rounding out the live Round results here, and narrowly claiming the top spot with 17 points is...

    Probably their biggest 'hit' of the 80's for Mick, Keith & pals.

    A pretty terrific rendition of one of this band's seminal hits saw them move into Round 3 also.

    Which means that Misters Morrisey, Marr, Joyce & Rourke are heading to the Play Off.

    Each of you submit 1 song - anything of your choosing by your selected artists.

    Once all 6 songs have been submitted to me I will post these on here.

    Those eligible to vote (ie, either previously eliminated or have already progressed to Round 3) can then vote on these 6 songs.

    There will be a minimum 12 hour window for this, but usually longer.

    Good Luck! :50:
