Ok so I needed 7 actually. 

 

5 have qualified with the most votes in the play off:

 

Weller (6)

Harrison (7)

Chuck berry (6)

Lou Reed (6)

Paul Simon (6) 

 

Meaning I need 2 from Scott Walker, Van Morrison and Louis Armstrong. 

 

25 minutes for you to decide. Pick two out of that 3. Most votes at 2pm go into the final 64. If it's a tie I will decide. 

I’m disappointed that Nat King Cole didn’t get enough votes. Fuck you, GF!

 

Van Morrison

Scott Walker

 

Edit. Too late.

David Ruffin is in my humble opinion the greatest male singer of all time. His solo career didn't really take off though unfortunately.

So basically he should not have been in then?

Morten Harket also have a solo career, some absolute great songs, but it did not really kick on, so no reason to nominate him, even if his voice is absolute superb, some might say the best there is/was.
