Picking between James Blunt and Will Young is like choosing which method of torture you'd prefer :pac:

Match 9: Girls Aloud
Match 10: MGMT
Match 11: Limp Bizkit
Match 12: James Blunt - only because it's slightly less awful and depressing than the other.

Oddly enough, I only heard that Will Young song for the first time the other day. I don't feel I missed out on anything, it's crap.

#9 - Do You Realize? - close but this just edges it

#10 - Time To Pretend - nothing involving Kid Rock can ever be a good thing

#11 - Mad World - because Limp Bizkit can fúck off

#12 - Nope

That’s all I got

Necro

I'll vote Girls Aloud to even that up. Won't be voting much but I think it's a vastly underrated pop song (and I nominated it)

Where’s Lasyykk? She was so excited for this (so far, I can’t fathom why) and she’s missing it.

Leave Right Now is an ok song, I'd pick that over anything by Blunt. But Evergreen is such a non-event of a song that I couldn't vote for it, even against something as awful as You're Beautiful.

Clarabel

Girls Aloud - Sound of the Underground

Ah jeez someone ban Clarabel!

Girls Aloud of AMAZING I have no shame there!

Blunt was to get it off the board

lassykk

Can't believe I missed 16 songs

Sunday is a busy day so I won't be able to rabbit on as much until tomorrow

Big thanks to strawberry milkshake for the heads up!

I realised quickly reading the first few pages that I clearly left mainstream music behind me in the 2000s. I knew only half the songs and would only care enough to vote for Foo Fighters The Pretender.

Will try vote throughout the day but will back glued to this first thing tomorrow!

None of my amazing picks up yet

lassykk

Two of mine here getting a vote

Papa Roach and Avril Lavigne

Had a huge crush on Avril lavigne as a teenager and was a nice bonus I really enjoyed her music too

The music behind the lyrics in the papa roach song I absolutely loved. I believe I typed it into my Nokia 3310 to make a polyphonic ringtone of it!

Hopefully they both make it through
