    Round 6

    Semi-Final A

    Two go in. Only one spot. Game on! The Jam incur their first penalty of the competition, while Queen return to their 1980's catalogue.

    [​IMG]


    Lifted from their 3rd studio album, All Mod Cons.

    1978
    (x2 penalty)

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_p9sTKhOFQ[/ame]


    [​IMG]

    Featured on the band's 8th studio album, The Game...

    1980

    ****************

    Remember, as this is now a head to head competition, the voting system changes now, as each match up has 5 points to be allocated between the 2 songs, be it 5-0, 4-1 or 3-2.

    Additionally, a reminder that only the Jury are eligible to vote.

    Good Luck!

    Round 6

    Semi-Final B

    As it turns out, this is the only one of the Semi-Finals where both of the songs selected date from the 1980's. Kudos! :50:

    [​IMG]

    Released on their 1987 (and my personal favourite Smiths album), 'Strangeways, Here We Come' album...

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btOyj3qM_Dk[/ame]

    [​IMG]

    Featured on the band's 1985 album (and co-incidently, my favourite Pogues album), Rum, Sodomy and the Lash.

    Round 6

    Semi-Final C

    Despite both bands having extensive back catalogues, both nominated songs that were highly successful singles from the early 1990's, and both subsequently picking up penalties...

    [​IMG]

    This was a single released prior to UB4O's 10th studio album, Promises and Lies.

    1993
    (x4 penalty)

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUdloUqZa7w[/ame]

    [​IMG]

    Lifted from the band's 7th studio album, Out of Time.

    1991
    (x2 penalty)

    Still sitting on 4 votes in. So there are 9 Jurors eithr really struggling to decide which songs they like or jst haven't found the time to do this as yet.

    Just a reminder, for each of the 3 match ups, you hav e 5 points to allocate, as you see fit. The song you like the MOST, the MORE points you give it. So 5-0, 4-1 or 3-2.
