Liked mattrom#4, Paul#14, paulhabershon#29
but vote goes buddy#33, as people returning from war conjured up T.S. Eliot's 'The waste Land' so clued worked on 2 levels.

I boiled things down to Jono#22 and Spike2#31

Giving it to Jono#22

Liked jono 22, paulh 23, faiton 26, aristo 28, dorrien 36

Voting for buddy 33

Favorites are mattrom @4, jono @22, and buddy @33. I also liked the wordplay of jimmy @20 and aristo @28, but wasn't happy with the definitions.

This was a tough one to decide, but my vote is mattrom @4.

Mattrom 4

I was just about to say only Paul to vote.
The final scores are
With one vote we have
Tyke 27,Dorrien 36 and Mathprof 11
With two votes we have
Jono 22 and Spike 31
With three votes each
Buddy 33 and Mattrom 4
I'll be back shortly...

It's never easy this decision but I have given this one to Buddy with
"Returning from battle, Eliot thought this sucks"
Apologies Mattrom such fine margins
Hope you like this Buddy, maybe someone new?

Congratulations, Buddy. Commiserations, Mattrom. Thanks for hosting, Fieryjack.

Many thanks to Jono and Faiton for the votes, and, to Tyke 51 and Dorrien for the mentions. All much appreciated.

@Fj - I am a massive fan of The Ramones,, who were synonymous with CBGB's.

That was a close one, congrats Buddy very nice. Thanks Fiery for a good challenge and thanks to Aristo and Dorrien for votes and Spike, Chris, Mattrom and Mathprof for the likes. Much appreciated!
Liked the track Fiery, the playlist threw up some bands I haven’t listened to in ages, Counting Crows, The Jayhawks to name but two

"Made it, Ma! Top of the world!" Thanks to mattrom, jimmy and chris for the votes and to FJ for the tie-break. Commiserations mattrom!

Nice clip - as I was listening I thought the guitar reminded me oF Matthew Sweet, and then in reading about her on the wiki I saw they have a connection. Normally not a fan of female vocalists not named Aretha or Fontella, but I liked this one.

I have been pondering this for a while, and so now here goes: next weekend I would like to try a form of preference voting where everyone gets 6 votes to be allocated across clues as they see fit - so you can give 6 votes to one clue, split 3-3 if you have two you can't decide between, give 3-2-1 to your top 3 finishers. Or even one vote to each of 6 clues if you are feeling very indecisive. Anything goes a slong as your votes total to 6.

This would formalize the "likes" into actual 2nd, 3rd place votes, etc. A little more work for everyone, but worth a shot? If anyone has any strenuous objections let me know.
