As we reach the pointy end of things, here's one I didn't end up nominating purely because of the lack of attention span some around here have for songs that exceed a certain length, but I regret not throwing it in the mix now as it might've made for a great dark horse contender...

Well, I can tell you that I would have voted for this in every round... not that I would expect it to go far.
Laurie Anderson is a fantastic artist!!

Yeah, I figured a couple of people would appreciate it alright, but thought that we'd ultimately be in the minority and that it wouldn't have much of a chance to progress in the tournament. I had a fairly extensive list of nominations as it was, so nixxed a lot that I felt veered a bit too far from the mainstream for the general FoG masses...

Heard that Superman song over in the other place before and I don't get the appeal at all (just my opinion).
It's kinda quirky but the button being pressed the whole way through the song is very annoying and it brings on a bit of a headache.
It's also kinda creepy, but mostly annoying 😬

I don't agree. There are still two songs left that I do not like at all and cannot believe they got this far: Mmmbop and Bring Me to Life. Yes, the rest are all quality tunes. However, of the remaining six, I think Complicated is the weakest of them and I think it did well to get to this round.

Is it just me, or does every time someone bitch and moan about a song progressing this far or claim its not worthy enough to go any further, only make that song sound all the greater and make you wanna vote for it more?

1. Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time
2. The Jackson 5 - I Want You Back
3. The Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the U.K.
4. Run-DMC - Sucker M.C.’s/It’s Like That Actually, I prefer our top 4
