I think it'd be a good idea if this time around, the PTTs should be restricted to songs not already in the archive, so the top 10 will make it in. Though that may be a bit hard, every song I like is already in the damn thing
I'd love to do another round of personal top tens, but I'm not a huge fan of this idea, as it would be too restrictive - it's not really your personal top ten if we are going to restrict the songs that can be nominated, especially sinceso many songs are already there. We could make the distinction that they be songs that weren't on a previous ptt of your own, basically a whole new round of songs.
Just my two cents.

Cool!

I'm not sure where to post this...
The songs from #267 aren't listed in the Songs Archive, but are on the Artists Archive.
Also, "Last Nite" by the Strokes made it in twice (#5 on #197) and then again (#6 on #267). Since it was ineligible the 2nd time around, "The KKK Took My Baby Away" by the Ramones would be in the archive, since it was #11 in that edition and now bumped up to #10.
I shall fix this - as well as the noted spelling errors.
Sorry I couldn't nominate this week - by the time I had the chance, it was voting time. I'll be here next week though.

Nice! I need to walk more at home. Laps around the building at work really aren't the same thing.

We have no scores currently. I thought we did earlier today.

Really? Hmmm, where have I heard that before?
Normally I would have - but since it was within the same hour, and I left it in "edited" status, I didn't think it necessary. I was editing (deciding) during the entire time ..... but never fear, I consider myself duly chastened, and will do better in the future.

Brad, you can swap out your vote for Pickin' the Blues, as it's not actually on the list. Thanks for the vote though - I'll nominate it again next week.
-
Ooooohhhh s**t.... I thought I counted the total number on the list and on this page, that's what I usually do. Well it can either be thrown into the hat for this week, or Lucky can have an extra nomination, she knows how it works. Very sorry Lucky, I was in a rush when I posted this and hastily put the list together.
Nah - no worries, just leave it. That makes it easier all the way around. It's fine.

I had changed my nomination of Mindbender (Kenne, you were fast!) but it doesn't matter, as it hasn't gotten any votes. I just didn't vote for my 3rd nomination either.
I think I'm probably the last to vote, but heads up anyways. -

I'll vote soon - and place that bet Darryl. Long shots are "lucky" - and I've always been a long shot in one way or another!
