Good TT...I wish Three Dog Night and Lobo could of gotten in there, but oh well...

[Farin]

Gabriel did roughly as bad as I expected,

but I'm actually quite dissapointed that I was the only one who voted for Bad Religion

also that Blue Monday didn't make it... that one's a Classic!

And I had heard neither until I viewed your noms, Jenny. Both struck chords in me, obviously.

Good, solid, working-class TT. I got one in.

After nominating "Kiss From A Rose" I found it had been in Pirates O.T.C.II and had gotten a ton of Grammy over-exposure. I am so sheltered, I have only heard the song about 5 times in my life, while in the car each time. But everytime I have heard it, the entire ensemble production quality and musicality blows me away!

[edna]

I just saw The Smithereens were about to make it for just two points... My fault, I voted Shocking Blue and Lobo before my own noms (they deserve it )

I´ll renominate it soon too...

[Jenny]

Lenny K. and Seal made it!!! And Prince and the Wallflowers, too.

I'm glad Venus made #1, but I actually like Bananarama's version better(dodging tomatoes).

I like Bananarama's also Jenny!
