Twilight shined brightly in it's victory in match 55, so it advances.
Match 56 now, where Roll Over Beethoven faces the Idle Race song Going Home.
REMEMBER TO VOTE IN THE POLL OR YOU'LL TURN INTO A FROG

I've never been a fan of ROB and I still wonder why it's always the encore, so my vote goes to GH...

I'd temporarily forgotten Going Home, but on listening to it here was reminded of it and charmed all over again. Quite surprised how few votes ROB has, but then I'm not mad about it so why should everyone else be?

I'm going to jump the Going Home bandwagon. It's really nice one and doesn't particularly have that Idle Race feel. Could have easily been on a later album too.
I don't dislike Roll Over Beethoven, but nowadays it seems kind of forced that Jeff needs to ALWAYS finish the gigs with that one.
Just realised that ROB is the last song from ELO 2 on Round 1. Two out of five songs made it through which is pretty good for a lesser album like that.

Hearing Jeff singing in his Idle days, you'd never think he had the great vocals that he went on to display later. Going Home.

based on the vote so far, maybe Jeff should make "Going Home" his new encore song ... LOL

I really like Roll Over Beethoven. It's such a wild, raucous, fun tune, and it's fantastic live! So much going on in there-- gets me up and dancing! I think it's a perfect encore!

I'm going for Beethoven as well, always liked ELO's version.

Home-10 Beethoven-5
Somewhat surprising, but hey unpredictable is good. Keep voting.

I had never heard Going Home, nice tune. And, I really expected to vote for it but, upon hearing ROB for the first time in a while, I like it much better than I used to. My vote goes to ROB

The Idle Race versus a cover version? Only one winner for me.

'Going Home' because anything Idle Race beats 'ROB'.

Home-14 Beethoven-8
I'm working all day and most of the night, so I'll let this run until late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
By the way, I voted for Going Home. The ELO version of ROB is pretty iconic, but Going Home is the better song.
