So the final song to all fall out of the rate before the top 10 is...

11. Kanye West feat. Syleena Johnson - All Falls Down (10 votes, 30.30%)

You'll probably find my fellow forum moderator crying in a corner about this one, as his favourite drops out with the largest number of votes any single song has picked up thus far at #11. So near and yet so far. The wonderful 'All Falls Down' was released all the way back in 2004, as the third single from Kanye's debut album 'The College Dropout'. This song was one of the first to introduce us to the wonders of Kanye, with clever, satirical and political lyrics throughout the verses, styles of lyricism that would become fundamental to Kanye's writing. However, it could be argued that the gorgeous guitar led female vocal chorus is really the song's most memorable trait, acting as a real earworm to this day and certainly giving real throwback vibes. The song was well received by the public at the time too, becoming Kanye's third consecutive top 10 hit, peaking at #10 in the UK and also #7 over the pond in the US. Despite making the top 10 officially and receiving 10 votes on this poll, it would appear that the song has seen enough 10's and instead here will have to settle for #11.

Sticking to my guns on 'Love Lockdown'. Hope that by doing so I am not putting 'Jesus Walks' at risk :(

Black Skinhead for me.

Glad Stronger survived for another round. Ideally for me, Through The Wire would leave after this round of Black Skinhead, and the remaining songs would be FLAWLESS (Ft Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie)
