My theme and I'm after under-rated songwriters - I will be the judge of whether they're under-rated or not! And the songs may have been written in collaboration with someone else. The tracks you choose may be sung by the songwriter or another artist. The catch: the songwriter must be someone who YOU think is under-rated as a songwriter.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 473 - And the wooden spoon goes to.. Please choose 2 songs from the list above, nominating from your own list. - TheFoe (List at Message 1047 on Page 21)
Theme 474 - Jools' Jewels: Performances from Later ... with Jools Holland - Grimmy
Theme 475 - The Long and the Short of it. Put together one song with a very long title (the longer and more ridiculous the better) and one with a very short title (doesn't need to be a single word, just brief and to the point) - Tim
Theme 476 - "California Dreaming". Bands or artists from the Golden State -Collette
Theme 477 - Give me a give. Songs with give in the title - Grimmy

Great band from 80's New Zealand! Singer Martin Phillips wrote all their songs and also played guitar. Sadly he passed away last year.
