Got to say, I'm quite happy with where this round's going. Still some good songs in there, and plenty of nostalgia. It's going to start getting tricky for getting rid, but I guess the herd mentality will decide what gets culled at the crunch. And I can already sense some looming battles between the +4s and -6s over some tracks!

Oh come on now, that Fugees track slaps! My only gripe is that just the 3 minus points went to Oasis rather than 6. What a prick tease.

I was tempted but decided against getting rid of Blur; plenty of other stuff to downvote ahead of that. That 'Olive' track for instance; not a track I knew, so gave it a listen. Given the raving over it earlier I was expecting something.... better. Its just so 'meh'. (other opinions are available).

I cannot take anyone giving plus points to Barbie Girl seriously and will assume they’re just trolling. Other opinions are afuckingvailable.

Say You'll Be There just appeared on my Spotify shuffle. I would keep voting those Spice Girls songs that are not Wannabe but I know it would be a waste of -6. Might give some plus points to Gina G later.

Same here, gave it a listen and one word sums it up 'bland' and no amount of echoey sounds effects make it any less bland

It ain’t bland in the slightest imo. The treacley vocals, the swirling strings, the finicky beat - it’s utterly gorgeous. Whether you’re lying back chilling on your own with your AirPods in or you’re losing your shit at some sweaty rave, it works.

I always liked that melancholic undertone of this dance track, very nice.

I also bought the CD single at the time. By the way, the song only reached No. 26 in the German charts.
