I guess it's an acquired taste. I really got into after seeing it done live, first by the Muffin Men and then Dweezil.

I thought I might be able to like the doo wop one, Ruben & the Jets. Perhaps I'll give it another listen.

Going to give it a miss this round 64, always seem to struggle with 80's music. Some of the music that I did like then doesn't really float my boat nowadays. Funnily enough whilst listening to a few 1984 albums over the past few days, one of the albums by Violent Femmes that I didn't pick up on in the 80's, I really like. Unfortunately it was already nominated in past rounds.

Was going to go 'My War' but Rook beat me to it. Then felt a little tempted by Dio but I have to be in the mood for that. Think it'll have to be:

I think it's time to move on now. 12 is a good number.

If there are going to be no more nominations, I'll change to Bronski Beat - Age Of Consent, please. Think it should be in there.
