Hmm, a slight hitch. We had a couple of ties, so we have 11 finalists, and only 10 option spots. So, #11, Meredith Brooks' "Bitch", will have to be a write-in. If that's who you want to vote for, post it, and I'll count them at the end, or PM me with the vote. Vote ends Sunday night at midnight. Thanks to all that voted/are voting, and participating.

God...this is gonna be hard. I tend to lean towards music noone else liked...and that covers more than one of these.

I gotta go with "T-t-tainted L-l-love" outta this lot. I will never again be able to hear "I touch Myself" without picturing Austin Powers dancing to it.

Ummm, is my chad hanging ?

From this last batch, my vote still goes to Shakespeare's Sisiter. Interesting song and love how the contrasting voices compliment each other.

Level, I like Divinyls but I prefer "Pleasure and Pain" over "I Touch Myself". It's not on the list so don't count it. There's enough goodies here that it's hard to pick!

Oh... the polls haven't closed yet. Nevermind. Watch out for those hanging chads , Level.
