    First match decided is number 65 and it's a whitewash.

    Cascada - Everytime We Touch 5-0 Modest Mouse - Float On

    Slightly surprised about that if I'm honest (though I'd have voted the same way myself)

    I just saw the votes up and was coming on to vote for Modest Mouse (one of my nominations). Don't know that other song so I had a listen. Wtf is wrong with you people???!!!

    We've had the bones of 150 songs and that Modest Mouse one is right up there among the worst.

    I have decided that this is definitely not my decade. I barely know a handful of the songs in these match-ups, and of those there's not one that I'd actually want to vote for. Crap, does that mean I'm getting old? :(

    The multiple nominated songs (and the remainder of the single noms) have yet to appear yet.

    All is not lost - I think. :pac:

    Yep, one of my favourite Radiohead songs too. Had to nominate it - looking at some of the other muck in the competition its not ideal that it has come up against Bon Iver here, but is still clearly the better song, some people just love making the wrong decisions it seems. :rolleyes:

    Blink 182 - Feeling ThisMeh, but let's move it on.
    T.I. feat Rihanna - Live Your Life A kinda Ryan Giggs winning PFA PoTY award in 2009 vote
    The Temper Trap - Sweet DispositionKinda an Oh yeah, I remember that vote
    Destiny's Child - Independent Women Meh, but let's move it on.
    Westlife - What About Now Someone was taking the P*ss nominating crazy frog
    Bon Iver - Skinny Love Meh, but let's move it on.
    Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah Loved the Whooaa-ohhhh-ohhhhhhhhhh-ohhhhh-ohhhhhhhhhhhh-ohhh-ohh-oh bit


    Can't help but think some nomination submissions were done on the basis of 'What song names can I remember from the last few years'. In 30 years time when some cyborgs are doing Best songs of the noughties on their telepathic forums, none of the above will be mentioned. That being said, I didn't enter any nominations so what do I know.
