Well...I can't say I expected this as the #1! Another turnout of 12 submitters, but my fault for being lazy with tagging I guess. Here's a link to everyone's ballots. I'll reveal the next artist tomorrow.

It only took one ballot on the list, but sweeping with 9 votes...the next artist you'll be ranking is U2! Anyways, The Jesus & Mary Chain fall off the ballot (dammit), but they get a new replacement in Jimmy Eat World! Link to everyone's artist votesHere's a link to U2's ballot!Ballots are due at 11:59 PM EDT on September 3rd. Enjoy their long discography!

Blue Orchid is a great winner.
U2 is gonna be fun. I'm here for 80's and 2000's U2. Let's please be kind to "Vertigo" that's one of their fiercest.

I'm really hoping the top 10 has more in it than just the most of first half of Joshua Tree and the other usual suspect singles ("One", "Beautiful Day", "Vertigo", "Pride", "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "New Year's Day").

I created a Spotify playlist with I believe every U2 song released since "War" came out. The first two albums weren't relevant much in the States at the time, so I didn't include them.
There's 141 songs and it comes out to 10 hours and 33 minutes total. Hope this helps your listening experience for this Top 10.

War: 2 Unforgettable Fire: 1 Josh Tree: 4 Achtung Baby: 2 Atomic Bomb; 1
So yeah, pretty good spread of their eras. Favorable towards Joshua Tree as they played that album in its entirety when I saw them live at Bonnaroo.

Going to try to do a deep dive for U2. I'm familiar with quite a bit of their discog, but I want to listen to more.

I'm kicking myself for not including "City of Blinding Lights". Is it too late to swap my #10?

Anyone here attended U2's 360 Tour during 2009-2011? The Claw is still the most impressive set piece I've seen at any show ever. The beautiful visual transformation of The Claw when U2 performs "City of Blinding Lights" during that tour was a major highlight of the show.

I haven't forgotten about this top 10. I have, however, forgotten about tagging. I'll extend the deadline to Friday, September 7th at 11:59 PM EDT due to my lack of tagging. It'll also be a more convenient date for me, in general.

Shit, just realized I forgot about their Christmas song, "Christmas (Please Come Home)". That actually would have been in my top 3.

I didn't do as much of a "deep dive" as I wanted to, but I think that my final top ten is pretty varied...even if it does tend to be a bit too obvious, especially at some points. (*cough*My top two*cough*) I'm most surprised by the lack of Achtung.

17 submitters here including a couple of first-timers, pretty nice. Every album but one (2017's Songs of Experience) had at least one track get picked. A total of 59 songs were picked...but despite this wide variety of selections, one track (rightfully) ran away with the win. View everyone's ballot here! Anyways...stay tuned, as the next artist will be revealed tomorrow. (I also have a minor announcement that I'll be making with tomorrow's reveal)

nobody but Daryl & I voted for "Bad" - you guys probably skipped over the Wide Awake In America EP, cuz if you had heard the live version on it, i'm sure many more of you would've put it on your list:

Surprised at the landslide victory for NYD. And pleasantly so, cuz it would've been in my top 2 easily.

First of all... (I also have a minor announcement that I'll be making with tomorrow's reveal) Regarding this, ignore it. I won't be revealing what it's about now (but feel free to speculate!). Anyways, onto our next artist...they've waited a long time to be voted on, but their time has come. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to vote on the discography of Death Cab for Cutie! Meanwhile, the artist on the ballot that has waited the longest, Coldplay, fall off the ballot with only two votes! I don't think a rule about this was in place before, so I'll be adding this rule now - an artist must have at least three suggestions to be added to the ballot. Nobody received at least three suggestions...but eight different artists received two suggestions. View artist votes here!Here's a link to Death Cab for Cutie's ballot!Ballots are due Sunday, September 30th at midnight. Happy listening!

I might have to dive deep into their discography to see if I find more songs like "Crooked Teeth"? I'm not too much into their slow stuff.
