And the winner is… **42fish**!!! Good job! ::flings confetti:: **42fish** got 7/10 top answers. Very good! Top possible score was 360.00.

Thanks for playing, everyone! Thanks also to **Sidney Evgeni Jordan** for a fun Feud.

I think I’ll be taking a break from the Feuds for a few days. Interest is waning. I’ll get one up this weekend, or early next week.

Let’s see: technically I scored in the top half, which is better than I was expecting! I knew choosing Hank Marvin was a stupid move. 😛

Two quibbles about popular/unpopular choices: Was anyone really influenced by Buddy Holly for his _guitar playing_? And how could no one else have chosen the Velvet Underground, who are the very definition of influential? You know the line: only a couple of thousand people bought their albums, but everyone who did went out and formed a band. 🆒

2nd again! It seems I do best in the feuds I know least about (see High School Memories…).

If there’s a single piece of confetti left on the ground, may I pick it up and throw it at myself as consolation?

That extra “Doors” would have been enough for a tie with **42Fish** 😃

Thanks **Dolores** and **Sidney Evgeni Jordan** for a fun feud!
