holy f**k I forgot Yellow Ledbetter Not only that. I totally forgot "Last Kiss". Kick me in the nuts, but I just forgot about it. It would have easily made my top 5. Ni modo

After a short delay the Pearl Jam results are in: I'll have the results from the vote and the poll for our next artist up in the next few days. Thanks for voting!

I wonder if my #1 is the same as everyone else's #1 I feel like we all have the same #1 Yep. Obviously, I'm biased, but this is absolutely the correct choice for #1. If I'm not mistaken, it's also the first time a non-single has won one of these, as "Black" was specifically not pushed as an actual single. It just wound up getting played constantly on the radio, anyway. The top spots being dominated by Ten is not a surprise at all, of course. Disappointed in the lack of support for "Footsteps" and "Crazy Mary", but I can't say that I'm shocked, either. I'm more surprised by the lack of support for "State of Love and Trust". Thought that would be top 20, at the very least.

I actually meant to participate in this one because I like Pearl Jam, I just never got around to it. Not dissatisfied with the winner though.

Surprised "Nothingman" didn't get more love. Seems like in the same vein as "Black" and "Yellow Ledbetter".

Black really wasn't a single? Totally thought it was, I remember hearing it a ton on the radio. Truly is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.

I didn't know "Black" was so popular? It's pretty good. I'm not the one to rank this band's music. I consider myself a late Pearl Jam bloomer

As far as their radio hits go, "Better Man" and "Yellow Ledbetter" weren't released as singles either. (the latter was originally a B-side for "Jeremy", but it was never released as an A-side)

"Elderly Woman" wasn't a single, either. The #1 wasn't my first pick, but I'm happy with it. I still think "Better Man" is their best by a fair margin, but "Black" is a phenomenal song as well.

In an incredibly close vote and 4-way tie, Gorillaz emerge victorious after breaking the double tiebreaker. (used last vote as first tiebreaker, Gorillaz, Metallica and Seether all had 10, RATM had 9, then used the nomination points from start of Season 2 to break 3-way tie, Gorillaz were 3rd compared to Metallica in 6th and Seether in 11th.) My Chemical Romance, New Order, and Pixies tie for the lowest votes at four and all exit the ballot, hopefully temporarily. The four replacements are three returning artists in A Perfect Circle, 311, and The Cars (obligatory Doc Indie Party Rock shoutout) and one new artist as Queen make their first appearance. Make sure to use the optional artist suggestion slots at the bottom of the ballot if you aren't satisfied with the current 25 artists fighting it out or want to see one of the recently eliminated artists make a return to the ballot!
Voting closes in two weeks (roughly July 30th Midnight EST)! Thanks for participating!

votes for 19-2000 (soulchild remix) will be grouped together with original version of the song?

I think my rule on remixes/acoustic/alternative versions of songs has been that they all are grouped into the same track since at the core they all are the same song (looking back to an example, that's what I did for STP's Plush). In your case that remix can fit into your ranking of "19-2000" and help boost its profile on your personal list.

I make it a point a not to vote for the bands in the ballot unless I really like them. Maybe 4 of them. This way they don't get automatically chosen. Why did we choose this band? Gorillaz is not going to be an easy task to sit through.

plenty of great songs to choose from...but sadly, none of the songs from their latest album is good enough to make the Top10...here's hoping album #5 is better than Humanz

Just submitted my list. I'm not a big Gorillaz fan, so I kind of had a hard time coming up with ten songs that were worthy of making a Top 10 list. I do have to say now that I've listened to their discography that besides their singles, "Humanz" is easily my favorite album of theirs. Not sure what happened with "The Fall" as I couldn't wait for it to end.

I'm going to be busy on the day this is due so it should take a bit for me to get all of the results together. Because of this, I'm extending the deadline by a few days to one week from today.
Submissions are due Tuesday, August 1st at Midnight ET.

"Feel Good Inc." and "Clint Eastwood" are really the only songs I've used by them, so I'll pass.

I've been trying to sit through these songs and tbh ,its pretty hard. This might be the first band I choose not to listen to whole discography and just choose between singles.

I thought the same thing about midway through their discography, but kept going. As I said, "The Fall" was easily for me the most difficult. "Humanz" wasn't a bad listen though. A good amount of variety and unique sound on there. I guess you kind of have to be ok with a good amount of rapping involved though.

Submitted. Just a heads up, since I'm not a fan of there vocal style; I probably chose more album tracks than actual hits. It's nice to know they do other styles too. "On Melancoly Hill" and "Pirate Jet", where nice discoveries. That's why I try to do all these.
