Whine up wins this for me, easily (though if Run the Show had been on the list...)

Omg such an underrated Alicia track!!

Omg Fatboy Slim is EATINGGGGGGGGG

This. But how has it already been 20 years since this absolute SERVE

Yes. It's usually Powerless and On the Radio. But lately I've been a bit obsessed with this one:

Facts

This not making the cut is unfortunate

Open Letter (To a Landlord) [Living Colour] Cinammon Girl [Prince] Mr. Wendal [Arrested Development] Powerless (Say What You Want) [Nelly Furtado] Treaty [Yothu Yindi]

Wait, yes, that's an inspired choice! I'll keep it in mind

Okay, I'm gonna need some help even with my FYCs. Like which of these count and which of these don't? Arrested Development - "Mr. Wendal" and "Tennesse" (and basically their whole discography) P!nk, "Dear Mr. President" Living Colour - "Open Letter (To a Landlord)" Prince, "Cinnamon Girl" Midnight Oil - "Beds Are Burning" and "Blue Sky Mine" Yothu Yindi, "Treaty" En Vogue, "Free Your Mind" Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry, "7 Seconds"

Love both, but Tender >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As someone who once was a Starbucks lover, I have to agree

Throw in Peter Gabriel and/or David Byrne for the modern rock gorls, and I'd be interested! Anyway, keeping up with this rate was fun! Exhausting too. But fun! Thank you for hosting @conatus !!!

I mean, the Australian connection is a bit on the nose, but still: And well... "Toxic," of course.

It got a little overplayed for my taste (though not nearly as much as "A Thousand Years"). But it's still a GREAT song. Support "Arms" too, though!!!

I mean, all things considered, it was still a pretty impressive lineup! And I learned about a ton of artists I'd probably never have listened to, left to my own devices That said, Pat Benatar could've gotten more love ("Shadows of the Night," "Invincible," the "Ooh Ooh Song," "You Better Run"). Same with Queendi ("The Goonies R Good Enough" and "Money Changes Everything" would've been among my 10+s for sure). And I was definitely surprised by some specific omissions ("Electric Youth", "Some Kind of Lover", "The Big Sky"), though mainly because they were high profile singles. But at the end of the day, it just sounds to me like there's enough material for a Part 1B!

Since I still have my Part 1 ballot open: Debbie Gibson Only in My Dreams Shake Your Love Foolish Beat Lost in Your Eyes Chaka Khan I Feel for You Through the Fire Tracy Chapman Fast Car Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution Baby Can I Hold You Pat Benatar Hit Me with Your Best Shot Love Is a Battlefield We Belong () All Fired Up () Jody Watley Looking for a New Love Don't You Want Me Real Love Friends Everything Tina Turner What's Love Got to Do with It Better Be Good to Me () Private Dancer () We Don't Need Another Hero Sheena Easton Morning Train (9 to 5) Sugar Walls Sheila E.

Newfound appreciation aside, I was wondering when American History X would finally be eliminated.

I feel like I heard "Outrageous" as B-roll music so much without realizing it in the 2000s! Probably on multiple VH1 shows lol

I liked it better on this listen than I remembered liking it in the past!

Are all the songs about "taking it slow" leaving today??

Ooooooh you can go ahead and prefill my 11 for that rate for this classiqué:

I found my scores from that rate, and why didn't we rate this 11???? That said, I'm pretty sure I discovered Taylor's "With Every Beat of My Heart" through this rate, so...

SUZANNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Queen will be getting at least one of my 10+ scores (possibly more, given all these unknowns), that's for sure! Also, had totally forgotten Tommy Pickles was a pop star at one point

Came here for the Tú La Tienes Que Pagar chanteuse. But then I realized it said Natasha and came here for the These Words songstress.
