    Match 1:
    Guns 'n' Roses - November Rain. I don't know the other song off the top of my head.

    Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much. Again, off the top of my head, I don't know the other song.

    Crowed House - Weather With You. Again, same issue!

    Sting - If I ever etc. Not too mad about the other song.

    Q/Match 3
    Crowded House - Weather With You
    I love The Bluetones but If isn't their best, and Weather With You is a classic

    Hole is her band, but I'm not really familiar with their stuff. I would know her husband Kurt Cobain's band Nirvana from that decade much better.

    I'm aware of the irony of me rolling my eyes at Shania Twain and then voting for Vanilla Ice, i just wasn't a manics fan, I was more a Stereophonics girl I'd never heard the manics song I gave it a listen and I just thought is was average, at least you can have a laugh with Vanilla Ice!!

    Everything But the Girl - Missing. Great song, but don't know the other one.

    Oasis - Wonderwall. Catchy tune. Not mad about the other one.

    Radiohead - Paranoid Android. Fantastic music. Not keen on the other.

    Don't recall that Manic's song, although I would know most of their hits. I can't stand Ice Ice Baby, so will abstain.

    Actually, want to change my vote for Match 5 to Embrace - Come Back To What You Know... Sorry Kolido for confusing things, but if its too late I understand. Both songs are worthy of moving on anyway.

    Sorry Embrace, this is just more iconic

    Obviously. Amazed it only got one nom

    Q/Match 7
    Radiohead - Paranoid Android
    Just incredible

    Q/Match 8
    Manic Street Preachers - La Tristesse Durera
    Wow, who nominated this? LOVE IT
    Always get the impression this album isn't well loved by Manics fans but I think it's brilliant

    Overall the album is patchy imo, but that is by far my favourite single of theirs. I also reckoned some of their better known songs that probably have a better chance like Design for Life might get nominated by someone else.

    Everything but the Girl (my nomination!)
    Oasis ( did this only get one nomination? Lol)
    Sheryl Crow (great karaoke song :D)
    Manic Street Preachers (never heard this before but better than cringe cringe baby)

    Some great songs there

    If Wonderwall only got one nomination I can see some very popular songs not in this.

    I really wanted to nominate a couple of Manics tunes myself but just didnt have the space :(

    I was putting in Motorcycle Emptiness instead of Wonderwall but decided against it and bloody glad I did seeing as no one else nommed it :eek:
