Now, I stopped downvoting Carole, because it's a happy tune as you say and well, I can't get 'your 51 cassettes' out of my head now.

Play the game and reciprocate, it might not be happy happy, but it's class. Now I'm going to have to actually vote.

OK I will take that deal. I'm beginning to run out of potential replacements for the Top 10 anyway. I cannot believe that Evil Woman was the last of the three ELO tracks left and now that is heading out the door. 

 

This has been a brutal but fascinating round. A lot of good tracks and a few great ones

Clapton & Page produced some of the most iconic guitar riffs, which I love, but I enjoy Gary Moore's work too, Parisienne Walkways being one of my favourites.

No no, it was a joke on a typo.

Not a comment on the actual playing of any of them.

Historically Page and Clapton had a falling out (What's new? Sometimes you wonder if there are any musical artists who didn't at one time or another} but crucially these are both guitarists, so, a guitar rift if you will.....

 

Was it a low blow? Typo's meh, but y'know.

Perhaps I should have flagged it better.
