January 15, 20241 yr Surprise, I found a spurt of motivation to run through the list very quickly and haphazardly. I've probably missed some songs and the order below is very rushed and probably quite subject to recency bias (but honestly I don't think there are that many truly essential pre-2000 #6 hits). But hey, at least I'm contributing for once! And will make sure I do get it right in the later rounds when there's a more manageable list to pick from x Was just wondering if my +30 might be saving Hot Chip but just looked back and they did already get another +30 so were guaranteed through anyway :lol: taste from Pete x +30 Ready For The Floor +29 Stay High +28 Sweet Disposition +27 Saltwater [Chicane] +26 Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall +25 What I've Done +24 cardigan +23 N95 +22 Walking With Elephants +21 In The Fire +20 ill Manors +19 Big For Your Boots +18 HUMBLE. +17 Cha Cha Cha +16 Fly By II +15 You're The Voice +14 At Night +13 Bang Bang Bang +12 The Rockafeller Skank +11 Mr. Blue Sky +10 Purple Rain +9 Unwritten +8 Salute +7 Still D.R.E. +6 Starry Eyed Surprise +5 Touch The Sky +4 Ue O Muite Arukō ["Sukiyaki"] +3 The Power Of Good-Bye +2 Remedy +1 One Of Us
