Shane McGowan and Sinead O'Connor - Haunted - vote for Sinead, I don't like McGowan's voice in general
(didn't like the other 2 in this match. Michael Franks would be something I may have listened to back in the day but really grew out of that sound)
Suzanne Vega - Small Blue Thing - fantastic song, kudos to whoever nominated this. Suzanne Vega in the 80s and early 90s wrote some great music.
The Chills - Monolith - not a huge fan, just that the GOAT song in this match was my least favourite of theirs
Vandenberg - Friday Night - nice standard 80s hair rock
GOAT - Goat Jam - something that it would be interesting to see live and for it to keep an going for a bit longer.
Suzanne Vega and Michael Franks was me! Edit: Al Stewart as well!

Somebody likes Goat: never heard of them but they are interesting. Will have to go back and listen to every one of their songs, including the ones I didn't vote for!

Alf Stewart!
Al was a big act in the US. Another one of his songs The Year of the Cat got quite a bit of airplay on this side of the water. I managed to persuade some radio stations, mainly of the temporary licensed variety and at least one pirate, to play Time Passages!

Well, I caved in and decided to submit 10 Indie Goat Jazz tracks to this, so you'll soon find out I suppose...

tough match, I like all 3 of them. At the end I went with the 2 I don't know, very familiar with the whole Blaze of Glory album
Tears for Fears - The Working Hour
very familiar with this and it is a fantastic song (the whole Songs From The Big Chair album is phenomenal, no fillers at all) and I don't like the other 2 at all.
Bon Jovi - We Rule the Night
GOAT - Golden Dawn
Voting for these two as I don't like the Bobby Mackey song
Colin James - Five Long Years
voting for Colin James only as the other two don't really fit my definition of hidden gem: Say You Will was a big hit and had constant radio play in Greece (and many countries in Europe) and Dance of the Clairvoyants was played a lot here when released.

I nominated The Working Hour! I was the same - I did not like the other two songs with it.
I have to say that I had never heard Dance of the Clairvoyants before. It has a bit of a dance feel to it as Pearl Jam songs go.

In the event of a tie in this round, the song voted for last will be eliminated. Incidentally, the 3 songs in that first match were my own nominations, unfortunate to see ATC go out, crackin' tune

ABSTAIN on the other two (Much as I love Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm, neither it nor Classic are remotely "Hidden" imo)
M11
dArtangan ft. Candice Night - We're Gonna Be Drinking
ABSTAIN on the other two (didn't care enough about either of the others to warrant a vote)
M12
Marko Hietala - Stones
ABSTAIN on the other two (didn't care for either)
In retrospect, I should've abstained from more songs in the first two days, there were a couple I threw votes on just because I felt I should use both my votes in each match, but I now see the value in abstaining if I don't care enough or don't agree something is a hidden gem
Voyager - Halfway Hotel

Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
The Regrettes - I Dare You
Beach House - Myth
Abstain on the last they're all awful😂

Crash Test Dummies is not a hidden gem so I'll vote Self Esteem - Moody
