The last spot was basically a coin toss between The Yardbirds and The Fortunes here. Both are alright. The other four in the top five were pretty much a foregone conclusion.

Yep, that'll do. Stormed through that one.

 

The next round is the largest of the five. 36 down to 6. I had to familiarise myself with a lot of these; if you don't know 'em, please do the same. I can't promise it'll be the most enjoyable few mins of your life but hey, it's educational innit.
