So would I, especially considering that Don't Speak came out in October. It baffles me how 58% of you still voted for it in light of that.

My first choice is actually Everything But the Girl's "Missing", but since neither that nor an "Other" option are listed, my next choice is Alanis.

I consider "Don't Speak" definetly as a 1996 song, it had it's run on Alternative in '96, then crossed over and hit # 1 in December on Pop. It did have a long run into 1997, but I put it in the 1996 poll. Try not to let that defer you from voting for it if you still think it's the biggest hit listed.

Same thing with Toni Braxton. The song hit # 1 on the Hot 100 in late '96.

The same thing will apply with "One Sweet Day"- it will be on the 1995 poll even though it had a long run into '96.

"Missing" was the last song I eliminated for the poll. I put "Killing Me Softly" on instead. Sorry about that.

This is hard, Don't Speak is a great choice... but Un-Break My Heart is just as easily recognizable, and is more of a standard. It shouldn't be so overwhelmingly for No Doubt-- it's so clear what kind of music this board prefers. So Ill pick Toni just b/c of that
