Since the removal of the single person council tax reduction was merely speculation, though not publicly ruled out, this is not technically a U turn.

Mad World came up 4th on my list of finalists too. As you say a compromise candidate but a worthy winner. A little miffed that Eloise didn't place higher because imo it's better than the original and also one of my all time favourites. Of all the games of KoS I've played this has been the most enjoyable, so many strong songs throughout, so many there's a few that didn't make it to the final. The first final where I liked every song. It also makes me a little sad that I missed all of the earlier games. Thanks to @wannamaker for hosting. See you in the 90s.

I'm greener than 75%, turquoise is blue.

@BuffaloPhil it looks like you have deleted Elvis Presley — Jailhouse Rock, please would you return to reinstate it.
