Headbang votes (4)

From http://banchoryheadbangers.blogspot.com/

One very short section commemorated 50 years since the Beatles' Please Please Me was first recorded in one amazing 12 hour session. The BBC had recently gathered together a variety of artistes to replicate this feat and, from this, I selected four video clips for viewing and this is how the voting worked out here:

1	I am Kloot	Chains	28
2	Graham Coxon	Baby it's you	24
3	Beverley Knight	Twist and shout	21
4	Mick Hucknall	Anna (go to him)	17

Personally, I think the Ginger Whinger suffered a bit by reputation, rather than by his actual performance, which I thought was, for once, very good.

I Am Kloot are definitely a band to watch, however. They've been around for years but seem to be slowly garnering plaudits and a sound reputation. They have featured before at the Headbang (Armistice Day 2011) and it could be we'll see them again soon.

The final section was a bit of a shambles, because after the first 4 tracks we hit the witching hour and Grant's Taxis were off with half of our crew, so they didn't get to vote and viewing was a little disturbed for the rest of us, but we did at least manage to get some votes in, and the results were:

1	Dr. Feelgood	Riot in Cell Block No. 9	1975	42
2	Big Brother & the Holding Company	Ball and Chain	1967	39
3	Thin Lizzy	Jailbreak	1976	39
4	Animals	Inside looking out	1966	30
5	Bob Dylan	Cold Irons Bound	2006	27
6	Bobby Fuller Four	I fought the law	1966	23
7	Eric Clapton	I Shot the Sheriff	1974	22
8	Elvis Presley	Jailhouse Rock	1957	21
9	Steve Miller Band	Take the money and run	2008	19
10	Johnny Cash	Folsom Prison Blues	1968	13

Andy reckoned this was the hardest round to score - and I agree - it was tough to separate some of them, and the fact that perennial favourite Johnny Cash ended up in last place underlines the quality on show here.

So that was it - another fun evening. All we need now is for everyone to cast their votes for their top 3 tracks of the evening. Gary's already done his. All the tracks are listed on the blog, so go there if you can't remember what was played.
