Boardsies greatest song of the 90s - Live Thread

Urgh, sorry Kol, work ran away with me this week. Boards is nearly impossible to use there any more so voting became impossible and I'm only catching up now.

My nominations:

Song Noms Reached
The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony 4 R4
R.E.M. - Drive 2 R2
Supergrass - Alright 2 R1 (no Q)
Blur - Tender R1 (Q)
Genesis - Jesus He Knows Me Q
Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis R1 (no Q)
Neil Young - Harvest Moon R2
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand R1 (Q)
Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue - Where The Wild Roses Grow Q
The Beautiful South - A Little Time Q


["(no Q)" meaning that it got a bye into R1 so fell at the first hurdle, and "(Q)" meaning it did come through a qualifier and lost in R1]

So 70% of mine were unique nominations.

My best result was one into Round 4. Two made it in to Round 2. The rest fell early. I'm not surprised at some, but I thought Tender, Red Right Hand and Alright might have done a bit better.

There were a few others that I would have championed even if I didn't nominate them - obviously other R.E.M., Blur and Supergrass songs, but also Chris Isaak and Shakespeare's Sister. At least one of those made it to the final.

My being around wouldn't have made much difference anyway. But overall, I guess the 90s aren't my decade. I expect the 00s to be even less so.

Thanks Kol for running. It's a massive amount of work - well done.

Ah, now the 70s will be a big toughie for me. That's my true decade.

Nobody has stepped up to that. Anyone is free to do so though.
