Part Three!

[Ace Reject]

So, again:

1. Vote for any twenty five singles of your choosing.

2. Your list MUST comprise of singles from AT LEAST three decades.

3. Only ONE single per artist.

4. PLEASE rank them.

If your username starts with A-H, please send your ballots to me.

If your username begins with I-P, please send your ballots to supaspaz.

If your username has anything from Q-X as the kickoff point, please send your ballots to V3$$3L.

Everyone else? (Y, Z, signals, numbers) Patrick's your man!

Ballots due in a week. You've had sufficient time (we hope) to really hear some songs you've never heard before, and to remember the ones you loved so. Be courageous! And DON'T treat this as another stan challenge.

[Ace Reject]

Also - for ***** and giggles - vote for one song, not from anyone on your list, that DID NOT MAKE IT.

FYC: Blur - Song 2
Groove Theory - Tell Me
Zhane - (It's a) Groove Thang
Brownstone - If You Love Me
The Fugees - Ready or Not
Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

[Auris]

This is SO CONFUSING.

What are we doing? I've tried to follow this thread since it started but I'm so confused.

Can anybody explain to me what the hell is going on?

Should this be included in out top 25, or are we submitting our 25 plus a song that didn't make it?

Sounds to me like you submit your top 25 and then an unranked wildcard vote, but don't hold me to that.

[supaspaz]

For the voters who want a challenge: Include one song from every single year on your list. I'm going to try it, but it will be tough!

[Artemisia]

Rhye made it!! I didn't vote for them but I love Woman!

[Eeveelution]

I wanna give all the songs I haven't heard a fair chance so I'll probably send near the deadline.

I might try one song per year but I'm not sure I can. There's like 4 songs I wanna pick from 2008 and '11.

[Artemisia]

Not y'all voting The Wire and Falling in but not IICCYM.

If I Could Change Your Mind is cute, but I think the panel made the right decision.

@Supa, I just might take up that challenge!

I'm not sure what I wanna vote for

Bingo!

And I can't take your challenge, as my top three will all be from 1989.
