There’s a lot of songs that just didn’t work for me.  The only one I don’t know is Baby D.  A quick YouTube will take care of that.  I’m sure most #2s or 3s would have been better than the number ones. 

Well, I decided to have a listed to it.  Couple of minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

I was unaware of both Stiltskin & this track prior to this round (also true of a number of them tbh), but now that I've listened to it, I'm tending towards agreement with TQR.

Though I like the band name, the song is an unimaginative ripoff of Nirvana,.

40 Baby D. – Let Me Be Your Fantasy -4

38 Stiltskin — Inside +6

Not sure what happened here, but assuming Wee Jum meant to upvote/downvote in full, both songs should have TWO LESS points meaning 38 and 30 respectively (at this moment).

Lose those you dislike the most first probably, I never thought much of it either but there've been other things more deserving of -6 so far....  

Prediction time: Keep an eye on the 4th and final Take That because that's probably mostly been kept up there by @ladyfiona so far with the odd like elsewhere and may be the next in line for a plummet just from BoyBand hate.

I mean, I may give Back for Good some point if Pato Banton goes out. (That's not advice, LadyFiona!)

[Bibliogryphon 9,571]

I did a listen of the tracks I did not know and it doesn't change the five that I will be voting for first but it does inform me which ones I will be down voting next there is a lot of Meh....  Nothing awful but things so generic you would be hard pressed to put a title to them if you heard them on the radio

Coolio’s gonna be KoS’s first 100-pointer at this rate.

 

 

Read: Coolio is safe, you clowns. Move on.

Yeah, it's a good song, but I don't get people continually blowing their load over it.

In any other grouping it would probably be top 10 but miss out on the qualification spots

 

Here it is just better than most of the competition
