Alright, so we're now at a very precarious position with only two songs that can be elected this round - both of which are on the cusp of falling under. So, if you're on the fence at all about I Will Follow or Electric, consider giving them the nudge they need.

I've never really gotten into Boy. I'll say that "I Will Follow," "Out of Control," and "A Day Without Me" since those are the only ones I can get into.

I meant B-sides & Rarities or Misc. I made a snafu since I consider the bonus discs to be b-sides...

You know what, just like in baseball hall of fame, you need a certain percentage to advance. So, too bad electric co and i will follow Onto to the next album, where i'm sure Gloria will surpass the 80% mark!!
