There's even some I like.  Not many, mind.

That said,  there are some I don't know, so we live in hope.

Gina's like a dominatrix at a brothel, she's not going down without a fight.

I have made a side bet with myself which gets eliminated first for the whole two years not just out of those listed above)

 

Initially summary I have two I will be immediately upvoting

 

So many to down vote but probably 10 I will be happy with in the final qualifying positions

There are 2 I like in the upcoming round; some of your chosen few I don't mind, but 2 of them are instant downvotes.

- Finalist. Definitely.

- Irritating.

- Actually a good pop song. Won’t be getting any minus from me.

- So terrible it’s hilarious and inoffensive.

- I liked this, when I was of an age where Shrek was one of the best films of all time.

- Fuck off. Mambo Minus 6.

- Classic.

Unbelievable. I get the desire to move on, but two people have tried to get this round finished over the past 12 hours and both voted for different songs. Just vote for what you like and it will end soon enough. Absolutely no way this isn't one of the 6 biggest bangers of the ones left. 

 

And the 98-99 cohort has A LOT of rubbish, nowhere near as strong a field IMHO.

Am doing, I don't really dislike any of these especially, but I have no love for that Tiffany's track and at the moment I can't get the bloody thing out of my head so -6 it gets.

Fuck sake.

[Paul Bearer 6,011]

Can’t really stand Wannabe.  One of the guys in my work at the time used to blast that fucking song full blast repetitively (night shift, no managers).  It’s going to be my -6 downvote until the end of this game.  Must try to listen to white town sometime. 
 

 

Edit: Just listened to it.  I remember it now. Might get my upvote now.
