    I'm surprised at how many ppl like the Placebo track I didn't nominate them because I didn't think they'd make it through. I always felt like I was on my ownieo likeing them. I guess that's part of life pre mainstream internet, it was harder to find ppl who liked what you liked

    I am presuming that necro just submitted 10 oasis songs, yes ? ;)

    Placebo
    Baby bird

    You're gorgeous is a super song. It must go through!

    I love their version of Running up That Hill and a couple more of their songs.

    I can't believe that I forgot to nominate Wolf Moon by Type O Negative:(

    Don't Speak is just class.

    Risking the ire of the masses here but Barbie Girl is actually a decent track imo, and unashamedly 90s for me.

    No opinion on the others

    Nick Cave - Right Red Hand. It's just alright but beats the other.

    James - Laid. I just prefer it to the other.

    Soul Asylum v Ce Ce Peniston - Abstain as I don't like either.

    Collective Soul v Aqua - Abstain as I can't recall the first and I don't like the second.

    Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand - like both songs, but Nick Cave has the better one here.

    James - Laid - really tough choice, as I love both, but Laid is the one I tend to listen to more often.

    Soul Asylum - Runaway Train - love this one.

    Collective Soul - Shine - it's the better song, although wouldn't be a huge fan of it... I really just can't handle Barbie Girl in this particular comp.
