Though, to be fair, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

I don't know what it is about this track and I'm not sure I could use up one of my 20 spots for it but its just a stellar song. Mind you I also absolutely love Sometimes You Can't.. also, which is admittedly not a widely shared opinion at least around here.

According to your personal opinion, that is.

In my opinion, the 2000's stuff has plenty to offer and does indeed deserve it's place along side the 1980s and 1990s stuff.

Yeah but your personal opinion involves apostrophe abuse. :wink:

So...now that this is done and there's no album or tour what do we do?

Last time we did Survivor in 2009, we followed up this form with an alternate form, and I've been planning on giving the alternate form another run this year. Might start it later this week.

It's pretty quick-fire. One round for each album era (i.e. album tracks plus b-sides and other tracks from the period). Multiple choice, vote for favourites. Top x-amount of tracks go through to finals, which culminate in a final round of the top thirty.

Last time it threw up some fairly different results to the regular version so it'll be interesting to see if that happens again.
 
Song that most encapsulates a 6.7 rating on Pitchfork survivor

I like the specificity of this because it leaves the door open for a Song that most encapsulates a 6.8 rating on Pitchfork survivor, or a Song that most encapsulates a 7.3 rating on Pitchfork survivor, if you want to get a bit crazy.
