Each of you saw each others lists. Each of you could have made additions to your own list. I know I did. Most of my *** star selections were from your lists. Songs I like which were not rated **** or better by me but worthy of inclusion. I don't have a *** list of my own songs so this was easier. If I missed a couple, it likely would have not made much of a difference as it would have been a single vote song.

At any rate, I will get through the single vote songs and then do the top 214 at a less hurried pace.
 
Have a baseball game tonight so here is second blast ... single votes #53 to #36 ....

Now the top 5 single voters. Some more 3 vote songs as well.

A curious footnote: We had 9 people choosing songs. Only 2 of us picked a song at #1 that is in the overall top 10.

Now we will start counting down multiple vote songs at a more leisurely pace. Have a baseball game tonight. Hope to get another list before the game ....

I was briefly stunned by this, as I couldn't believe I missed this entire great album. But when I looked it up, it was released in June of '89. So I'm not counting anything from that album, even if it charted into 1990. But you can do as you like.
Click to expand...
I left the definition pretty much open to released in or charted in 1990. I would rather include something borderline than exclude something that should be there. Everybody is free to their own interpretation as well. I even debated about voting for "Bohemian Rhapsody" which recharted in 1992. I did not.
 
All songs from this point on have multiple voters. Just a note, I will provide a video for:
  • songs with 3 or more voters.
  • songs in the top 40.
  • songs which are someone's #1 song.
Now the next 4 songs ...

212 Genesis "No Son Of Mine" 2 70 349
211 Placebo "Pure Morning" 2 94 351
210 Megadeth "Angry Again" 2 67 351
209 Cypress Hill "Insane In The Brain" 2 98 352

More tomorrow ....
 
The pre-1990 singles that were re-released and re-charted in the 1990s are Unchained Melody, Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock With You, We Are The Champions, Tarzan Boy, I Melt With You, Hard To Handle, My Sharona, 1999, Feliz Navidad, Jingle Bell Rock and The Lion Sleeps Tonight. (Olivia Newton-John's I Honestly Love You charted in 1998 but it was a remake of her 1974 hit, not the original.)
