Insomnia, yes I remember it got a lot of airplay. I don't know those other songs but I never got into house either so kinda clueless.

The full, album version of Salva Mea is incredible, I'd recommend trying it out
(I find the single edit very disappointing though)

Sorry folks, there was a slight miscalculation, we need 8 acts through, I will keep taking votes until we reach the 8

In fact, Gru has just put Jeff Buckly through, so 1 place remaining.

Already though, so no need to vote for these,

Weezer
Ash
Will Smith
Faithless
Savage Garden
Aerosmith
Jeff Buckly

I have actually reconciled myself to the fact that pop acts won't go far in this competition.
After all 90's were a lot about the guitars: britpop, indie rock, grunge and the likes.
