Thank you Siebby.

The 10th game of the tournament took some time to reach it's conclusion,but once it did it was "Atmosphere" by JOY DIVISION that easily won the tie and will therefore progress through to Round 2 as a seed.Joining this song in the 2nd Round (albeit unseeded) will be "Fairytale of New York" by THE POGUES which finished runner-up after much deliberation.Eliminated from the Cup are "Back in Black" by Scottish born rockers AC/DC and "Enola Gay" by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark.
