[HarryofOz]

Am I supposed to vote? It was hard enough picking a song. I've never even heard most of those songs.

[whiteswan]

I'll predict Swannie's choice

ges.....you are a star Thank You.
I've been away for a few days so missed this. Yes, of course, my beloved Jane absolutely brilliant, wonderful and I can't believe it's been 20 years since this video was filmed. This bafta award singing superstar gets my vote.....(and I don't care what hector thinks so there )

[whiteswan]

Maybe I'm too late to vote but that's ok....

[The Subhuman]

You can vote....no problem there

I've seen it so often when newbies play these competitions Cat, they either :

Don't understand the rules, although you only have to read the topic & follow the lead of other players to see how it works.
or
Lose heart because of the longevity/demands of the polls

Don't get me wrong I welcome new players but one needs to be committed as these polls are ongoing week in week out

Elton John - Step Into Christmas (BGWhite) v John & Yoko/The Plastic Ono Band - Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (billie)

[NorfolkWhite]

Pretenders - 2000 Miles
Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas
John & Yoko/The Plastic Ono Band - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
The Pogues (feat. Kirsty MacColl) - Fairytale of New York - makes me a bit sad to have to vote against Slade but got to be this (xmas) cracker

[Gandalf]

... and, of course, the only two I like have been drawn together. 'll go with:

Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas

[Dalton]

pretenders (about the dead guitarist JHS)
vaughan monroe (from Die Hard play out)
elton (Cos the other song is rubbish)
Pogues (the true reality of human dreams!)
