Headbang 3-3-17 - favourite themes and tracks

All the votes are now in from the 8 Headbangers who attended last Friday's do and the ranking of the themes was

1	Septuagenarians	57
2	Obituary	55
3	New(ish) Artistes	43
4	Notable Absentees	40
5=	Reprise	39
5=	Place Names KO - N American Final	39
7	Place Names KO - Overall Final	32
8	New Knight of the Realm	31
9	Aussie Rock	24

Yet again, the traditional opening themes came out best. To underline the point that we are a broad church, New(ish) Artistes did reasonably well coming in 3rd, but just one Headbanger thought it was the best theme whilst 2 Headbangers thought it was the worst! Similarly, Notable Absentees and Reprise had votes at either extreme.

Sir Ray Davies suffered from the fact that neither of his tracks would play and I'm pretty sure Aussie Rock suffered a little from featuring much lesser known bands and perhaps might have fared a little better if I'd included the more tried and tested like AC/DC.

As far as top tracks are concerned, the results again were fairly predictable:

1	Status Quo	Paper Plane	14
2	George Michael & Queen	Somebody to love	12
3	Roxy Music	Virginia Plain	7
4	Beth Orton	She cries your name	5
5	Ike & Tina Turner	Nutbush City Limits	3
6	St Paul and the Broken Bones	Half the City	2
7=	Van Dyke Parks	Heroes and villains	2
7=	Lynyrd Skynryd	Sweet Home Alabama	2
9	Fantastic Negrito	Lost in a crowd	1

Four Headbangers unavailable for June, so it looks like an August Headbang next time.
