So at last after a marathon of voting due to draws everywhere and not posting or your own thread, we have our 4 semi-finalists.

The Draw is as follows and Semi-Finals start tomorrow Nov 1st

Jagger/Richards - Mcnasty. v Stevie Wonder - OBL.


John Lennon - Canveyshrimper. v William 'Smokey' Robinson - Uncle Leo
 
Well that's a Stones v Beatles final. What does that say about;

a) The ages of Shrimperzoners.
b) The dearth of decent songwriting in the modern age.

Lets hope that "Tangled Up In Blue" (hi, how you doing?) chooses to vote :whistling:
 
b) The dearth of decent songwriting in the modern age.
I actually think that a few incredible songwriters have emerged in the last decade or so, but they're largely operating outside of the mainstream so they don't get the props they deserve. Also, I think a songwriter needs to prove their longevity over 20 years or so for most people to consider them in the same in league as 'the greats'.
