Well, considering how much I
love one-hit wonders, voting for only 10 was tough. Also, I didn't consider anyone for votes after 2006 because I'm an optimist
My 10 votes:
Minnie Riperton, "Lovin' You"
Tom Tom Club, "Genius of Love"
Dexys Midnight Runners, "Come on Eileen"
Big Country, "In a Big Country"
Deee-Lite, "Groove Is in the Heart"
Divinyls, "I Touch Myself"
The Cardigans, "Lovefool"
OMC, "How Bizarre"
Eagle-Eye Cherry, "Save Tonight"
Alice Deejay, "Better Off Alone"
The 'Honorable Mention' section:
* Frankie Goes to Hollywood, "Relax"
* Tom Cochrane, "Life Is a Highway"
* EIffel 65, "Blue (Da Ba Dee)"
* Liz Phair, "Why Can't I?"

* The Icicle Works, "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)"
* Peter Schilling, "Major Tom (Coming Home)"
| * The Belle Stars, "Iko Iko"
* Michael Penn, "No Myth"
* Lucas, "Lucas with the Lid Off" |
(aka, I probably would've voted for these but chances are nobody would've known them...)
The
section:
* Thomas Dolby, "She Blinded Me with Science"
* Scandal, "The Warrior"

)
The "I'm pressed" section:
* Thelma Houston, "Don't Leave Me This Way" (Like really, Thelma? You just had to have a song chart at #34 and ruin the chances of this flawless song being on this tournament...)
