The Seventh Songfactors' Choice Ultimate Top Ten - Round 4

[The Seeker]

[big]THE SEVENTH SONGFACTORS' CHOICE ULTIMATE TOP TEN - ROUND 4[/big]

- No nominations are required, as the songs have been selected from our 25 top tens.

- Voting rules will be exactly the same as the normal top tens - rank your favourite songs in the list from 1-10, and 10 points will be given to your number 1 song, 9 for number 2 etc.

- We realised it would be ridiculous to expect people to come up with a top ten from all 250 songs, so I have seeded the songs and split them into fair groups.

- The results will be announced in about five days from the start date of this thread.

- This is Group 4 of 5, and this group contains 50 songs. I will then combine the five top tens together to form a group, and then we will vote on these songs to form the Ultimate Top Ten.

it's not my most favourite song either, but this round doesn't really have a truckload of songs I would consider voting for

I figured you would think sarcasm on my side considering my #1 choice (Sugar, Sugar). I have a definite penchant for bubblegum music.

How the heck did all my favourites end up in the same group?

It took me ages to decide on the order of the top five. In the end I relegated my two favourite bands to #4 and 5 on the basis that those songs aren't in my top 5 favourites by them.
