Looking forward to this. Interested to see if people had the same thoughts as me on them. I really liked some of the songs and saved them to my own Spotify playlist!

I reckon the songs that I gave most points to won't have much joy in this competition - especially the one I consider by far the best song of this list

Most famous one to me was Hoobastank or Daughtry so I assume they will score highly. I hope I called the top three though

The Survivor song I just heard recently for the first, a great tune. Jimi Jameson had a great rock voice.

The John Parr track is quite new to me also, after rewatching The Running Man during the yet to be completed movie walrus, it is played during the closing credits.
Must of the other songs Ive had on my playlists for so e time.

I liked both those songs myself and I don't think I knew either of them beforehand

I was shocked how good that Miley song was. Made it in to my regular rotation. I didn't realise she sang actual songs. The only other song I know is wrecking ball

I actually heard this first covered by Cher, but I decided to add the original in this contest.

I actually found it quite hard to rank these - really liked all of those songs, as well as two or three that didn't make it into my Top 10

Glad to see some love for Desireless. Voyage Voyage was very popular in Greece back in the 80s and you would still hear it played in night clubs.

On my local radio station here in Slovakia, I hear it at least once a week. I guess it did well here.
