A boost for 20th Century Girl. I like the idea of letting the pool steer me away from the same familiar choices.

Grainne, that is a good way of choosing. I tend to match the pick to the evening as well.

20th Century Girl is one I am weighing up. This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.

Eimear, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

For anyone considering 20th Century Girl: A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.
