That was a landslide, but I'm proud that Two Shots nearly made it to the top 20 from an initial pool of 94 songs.
 
Invisible for me. Some great hooks, a good lyric, but just too... shiny. Too sanitized.
But man this round is wide open!

I can't believe Holy Joe, Mercy and The Crystal Ballroom managed to survive.
Well, I can believe it.
But it makes me sad :(
 
Sweetest Thing, in either form. The original b-side is a bit too rough around the edges to warrant staying this late, and the single mix is generic pap.
 
I was going to vote for She's a Mystery to Me just to make the sure the inevitable isn't delayed any further, but man, listening back to it, that is a better song than Invisible, Summer Rain and a bunch of others here. Really good piece of writing.
 
Geez these votes are really scattering in all directions.
 
Continuing my daily vote, but his time doing it in LARGE, CAPITAL LETTERS.

LARGE, CAPITAL LETTERS.

(I'm telling jokes but no one else is listening to me.)
 
Top five prediction, in no order:

Mercy
Luminous Times
Love Comes Tumbling
HMTMKMKM (thanks to 360)
Ground Beneath Her Feet

Mine would be, in order, (from what's left noting some great stuff is already gone) Mercy, Walk to the Water, TGBHF, Lady With the Spinning Head (srsly such a banger), Love Comes Tumbling
 
I was going to break the tie by voting for Summer Rain, but someone already broke it by voting for She's A Mystery To Me.

I've voted for Summer Rain anyway, so those songs are tied again. Somebody vote for Summer Rain to save She's A Mystery To Me!

40 Minutes left!
