[BOTB] BotB VIII - 1980's

Round 4 Results
Group C

When last we visited this Group, REM & Queen had booked their places in the Final 9. Who would be the one joining them? Basically it would come down to this: would Madonna's gamble pay off, or would it spell the end?

Once again it would come down to the very last vote recieved. Taking ito account Madge's 10 point penalty, the scores were on 50-50 when the last vote came in.

And by a final score of

51-52

Congratulations...






















































Congratulations!



That's right. 1 point was the difference. Which means that UB40 claims another big name following on from eliminating Rod Stewart and sneaks through to the Final 9.Sadly for Madonna (Dallas), the gamble almost, almost worked, but not quite.And almost was not enough on this occasion. It's the end of the line here and move across to the Jury.

Unlucky Taz, The Cure were my dark horse to win it. Love nearly everything I've heard of theirs.

That Group B result is tight!

Not heard this Cure song for ages, not their best song but at full volume it's amazing like a big orchestra.

Unlucky Dallas

Thought it was very risky with a +10..

 

Round 4 Results
Group B

And so, with the Pogues safely through, that means that 2 of the remaining 3 of INXS, Rolling Stones and The Smiths would also be progressing. But 3 into 2 does not go... even with these trying their best to make it, lol.

With INXS (+1) & Rolling Stones (+2) both coming into this contest carrying a handicap, would it make a difference?

Well, time to reveal what happened here.

Having already revealed that The Pogues (26) and The Smiths (42) were safely through, time to find out who is taking the final spot in the 5th Round.

42 - 42 - 43

The final artist safely through to the next round is...






























































Congrats!




The 2 bands that took on the gamble, it paid off for one, but sadly not for the other.

Unfortunately for INXS (Packy), his didn't quite come off here, and becomes the 10th member of the Jury.

Unlucky Packy

3 artists I enjoyed, eliminated.

 

That entire album, Disintergration, is awesome. By far my favourite. Even Kyle of South Park gave it that endorsement, when Robert Smith dropped in to help destroy Barbara Streisland...

 

Congrats to everyone who made it through

Unlucky Taz, Dallas and Packy.

 

Brilliant :smiley-laughing002: Totally agree

 

Unlucky lads going out.

 

Unlucky Taz, Dallas and Packy. IMO 2 of them had a good chance of winning it as well.






Proof that you lot ,or the ones that are voting, have good taste :smiley-laughing002:

Ooft, Group C.

 

Unlucky those who exit.

Packy, I love INXS, it started about 20 odd years ago when my old man got a new car and the previous owner had left the cassette for Live Baby Live in the tape deck. The booming opening to Guns in the Sky had me fixed, but New Sensation with the crowd going mental had me rewinding it constantly. Beautiful.

 

I said in my vote to Taz this round that I'd never listened much to INXS before but they became one of my favorites in this competition. Cheers Packy

 

Submitted

 

Packy & I have swapped a few stories about INXS back in the day, lol. One of the first albums I ever bought myself (as opposed to recieved as a gift or whatever) was INXS' Listen Like Thieves, and because I'd bought it with my own hard earned it always meant that little bit more to me, lol.

 

Unlucky Lads..

I had the Cure in a previous Botb and was surprised to see them exit so early, just like this time..

Was good to see hear INXS again too..

 

Unlucky lads.
