The surprise here was Wet Wet Wet being so low but the scoring was very close together. Fleetwood Mac is a worthy winner - the Tango In The Night album era was great.

Wet Wet Wet that low is a surprise to me as Sweet Little Mystery is one of their best songs, but it's generally a good set of songs, with those two always likely to be at the bottom of the pack, although 4.65 is probably good enough to not be bottom most of these.

It's not so much the Wets are low, more that the scores are mostly pretty close - which suggests that the selection was a bit of an anonymous morass. Indeed, my high score went to Elkie Brooks, which probably wouldn't happen with any other selection.
I'm more surprised Johnny Hates Jazz were so high. Could not STAND that band. Who were pushed to the f***ing moon because of Mickie Most.

Reasonably close voting but I would have expected a higher score for Fleetwood Mac and surprised Elkie Brooks was relatively low. Thanks to Smurfie for compiling.
