Just want to let Mary know (as I'm sure she'll get a kick out of it) that I grabbed a pencil and notebook immediately after reading the first post of this thread. I will be participating in this. Oh, yes.

I'm kicked.

[Hellfire]

okay, that's it. my list is officially finalized. there's nothing more i can think of and i've stuck to the promise of not looking at anyone else's list. not only not to be influenced but because i've seen less Kate Bush than i'd like in some people's lists. and you know who you are!

[♥Mary♥]

Uh, I don't know who I am.

And thanks for posting your edits, Paulo.
In the future, if you should need to edit again, just post a fresh post to this thread so it will alert us that we need to go back to see the changes on your original list.

edit 2: off with 'Eyes Without a Face' and 'Wonderwall' at #40 and #41 and in with 'Don't Speak' and 'Wicked Game' at the same spots.

[Hellfire]

ok, i'll be sure to do that. and dammit, i don't have a wise comeback for that.

btw, I will gladly be the representative of the Country genre. It looks like I really have no choice.

Yeah... at least you picked good songs, though! ♥

Hey! Running Up That Hill[/b] will be on my list. I just forgot to put it up there... I think. Or did I? I wrote it on my handwritten one. And yes that's the only Kate Bush song... but I've only the one album and I only got that recently. So phooey.

Well, I take that back - I have to consider Cloudbusting[/b]...

Ok, I had to read that literally three or four times till I got it. And it was (ROFL!!) definitely worth the effort

nooooooooooooo, it'll split the votes!

[matzy]

Well, I'd have Cloudbusting and Running Up That Hill[/b]. But, now I'm starting to think that I just can't have two songs from an artist I've barely listened to when I feel like I need to cut out songs from artists I've been into for years and years...

This is so difficult! But... enjoyably difficult

[Hellfire]

well, then use 'Running Up That Hill'! preferably just as high or higher than it is in my list.

i'll pay trade.

[♥Mary♥]

OK, everyone, we need more submissions here!

Come on, we have nearly 1000 members and about 70 regular or semi-regular posters... we should be able to get at least 50 lists here!

PLEASE PLAY!!!!!

I have until September, right? I haven't come around to reading this thread until now and now that I did I have to do it too... it'll be hard... I just might end up with near 100 songs... I will do my best.

[~Slave To The Muse~]

I want to play this now..but if I do my head will surely implode from exhaustion. We don't want that. hehe

[Hellfire]

i've officially deemed my list a 'work in progress'. i didn't exclude anything from it but i rearranged the songs in a way that gave me 65 extra points to distribute among the songs i left out. i won't do it now cuz next time i edit it, it'll be for good.

[♥Mary♥]

Hooray for Mallory (ohhh, yay for the Ship Song and Not the Same!) and matze (oh, I love the Tracy Chapman song and yay for Spark and Bittersweet Symphony!) joining in.

More, more, we want more!

Yeah, I'm going to let this run through all of August for sure. On Sept 1, I'll announce the final wrap-up date. So try to have your lists finalized by then.

Funness!
