[Sir Creep 7,016]

Not sure why The Mindbenders are receiving hate mail.  Eric Stewart (lead singer) was a fine looking chap (ie hot as fuck, so I’m told), so that should garner some votes.  And he and the bass player formed 10cc, so 10cc fans (which should include everyone on DL) should support them too. 
 

That said, they should have finished no higher than say 10th.  Still, 20th seems an unnecessary dissing, considering the Move, Traffic, Monkees and Manfred Mann songs are all pretty bad, and both Hollies tunes are forgettable (and I like The Hollies, karaoke go to!).  I could live with 15th overall for Eric Stewart/Mindbenders.  Stewart is 76 and alive and well, nice secret DDP name if anyone still plays that.

When diego downvoted Gimme Some Loving, he didn't actually remove the 6 points, he just moved the position. Accounting for diego's vote into GSL's current score.
