No specific objections on my part, but it looks to me like I came in penultimate place...?

I've reprocessed those scores into our (more) usual format, because I was finding it hard to follow. Hopefully I've got it right.
It seems (based on my votes) that heury listed the ranks for each player, not the scores.
So congrats to heury on the win with Jupiter, and CJ you were second with Mars so have the next round.
Overall, though, I think we can declare one Gustav Holst the winner of this one.

Well okay, then :) I've been listening to a bunch of A Certain Artist's polka medleys, so the theme this time is genre flips, from Moog novelty Nirvana to mariachi Black Sabbath! While I'm specifically thinking of covers done in a different style than the original, one could also reasonably extend it to artists stepping outside their usual wheelhouse - the specifics I leave up to you! Submissions are due by Friday, April 4th!
