Ace, you forgot the 2014 songs in your list on the previous page!



Country songs!

Particularly Any Man of Mine, Merry Go Round, Begin Again, and especially FANCY.

Merry Go Round is definitely making it. The others are meh.
Dixie Chicks will be getting some love though.

*Rallying the cool kids for a more...diverse list*

I'd lament the potential dearth of songs from my year of birth, but Ace seems to have that covered.

[Ice]

Just finished my list and I actually was able to select a song from each song (except 2014). Overall, the songs were way better than expected. 1991, 1993 and 1998 were my favourite years
1992 (why was 'I Will Always Love You' not there? ) and 2000 were the pits though...
Also, what were all these Bjork, Dixie Chicks and Fiona Apple songs doing on this list?

[Graduation]

Wasn't quite able to get a song for each year, as some years were just too loaded. Here's my breakdown, by decade:

89-90: 2
91-00: 10
01-10: 11
11-14: 2

Bingo!

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

So if an artist is on our top 25 list, her or she cannot also be our wildcard vote?

Y'all better VOTE for "Believe" so I can submit "Heart of Stone" as my wildcard vote.

[Sprawl II]

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

Good thing my list didn't really make it.
I guess someone else vote for Reflektor since I'm voting for Sprawl II.

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

Anything is better than The Wire and I wasn't really sure if IICCYM was a single so that's why I didn't send it.

I have sent my list to Ace right now

[Solopop]

I just sent my list!

[Brandon]

sent my list in

[Blueberry Mary]

Working through the songs I don't know. I've got up to 1991 and I have been slayed by some.

Like Back to Life, right?

[Stevie]

It's going to take me forever to make my way through all the song I'm not familiar with, but I'll try my damnedest.

Surprisingly, some of these picks are semi-questionable. Like, I'd love to know who fought for the totally corny "Opposites Attract".

Quality.

[Changes]

Wait, I'm just noticing Talib Kweli - Get By made it from my list. Nice.

I've only received one vote so far...

I think Ace added that to spite me because I asked for more Paula. He even shaded MC Skat Kat with the wrong name.

Hopefully it means that people are taking the time to know each song fairly well. The list is bigger than I thought it was - 350 songs is a lot. I think we should make it a countdown of the top 100 instead of 75 due to the greatly expanded pool of songs.

Oh, I didn't even notice.

Personally, I've already seen too much Paula and I've barely put much of a dent into the list.

I'll be sending my list shortly Ace.

I was watching this thread from time to time. Should’ve voted on this during the first stage. I’m sending my votes for this stage. I got to say that I enjoyed the songs that were chosen. It’s definitely better than the taste of the average ATRL-er. However, there were notable snubs from my perspective. I can’t named them all, but I will share some. I Will Always Love You was a major snub. Another one was from 2008 and the snub I’m talking about was Duffy. I mean, both Adele and Estelle are here, but no Duffy? All three are a package deal represent the UK soul female artists trinity. Leona is above that trinity and she’s also not on here. I’m more sad that Duffy is not here. Like how 2009 was represented well with indie music, but there was no Bat for Lashes. Plus there was no Linkin Park or Maroon 5. Only one Coldplay and it’s from 2014. I like Magic, but still.

Despite that, it was tough to vote for only 25 out of all those songs. I wish I can listen to the ones that I haven’t listen yet. However, I’m already have got into deep with the songs that I’m familiar. So good. The majority of songs that I voted for are from a decade that I was a little kid and from that decade, the year I got into the most was the year I was born and judging on the amount of songs from that year, you guys did too. I guess the songs from a decade that I grew up with pales in comparison with the other decade. I will come back for the countdown, where I can really give my thoughts on it. Overall, good job.

Ace or supaspaz, can you answer, please?
