I don't think, to my memory, I've ever seen an Indie list get wiped out this quickly. Poor guy can't catch a break

Well hardly anyone had the courage to make predictions and out of those who did the only thing they've been right about was Urgent. Which I gave a #90 as I think it's a pretty boring song but I didn't think a song that wasn't even in the bottom 5 of the qualifying songs of its year would finish bottom 3 of the decade list...

I think this is the kind of RD where everyone's least favorites will be someone else's favorites. I lost my 49, 84, 87 and 90 so I'd say I'm doing alright so far.

2. What songs do you expect to see in the (rest of the) bottom 5?
Venus, Human, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, I Can't Go For That

I'd be happy with the last three (one of them is in my bottom 5), but Venus is fantastic.

Overuse in commercials makes me hate a song I guess? Same happened with Applause, it took me a while to enjoy it again.

I expected this to be out early tbh

I gave a couple Madonna songs low ranks but I doubt I'll get much agreement from pulse on those so I'm going to guess Miss You Much because I think it's a bit of a mess and Janet has much better songs.

No Sir, I don't like that one bit

FACTS

[samo🦕]

1989 was a weak year compared to most of these but I'd be shocked to see Miss You Much out this early.

[willapted33]

epic

now can we keep killing off my bottom 20

[campbellssoup]

Wow I forgot I put Take Me Home Tonight so high on my list, still not doing too bad though otherwise.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

What a shit night if your song was played on Rock radio format.


#99. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around - Stevie Nicks w/Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Wrong Stevie Nicks song shows up. Guess what? let's tank Guitar related rock. I will lose a top 10 very shortly. 

#98. Urgent - Foreigner
Yup here we go with Rock tanking.

#97. Hurts So Good - John Cougar
And there is is! I hate you all. 8D You wouldn't know a good song if it sank its teeth into you. 

#96. Take Me Home Tonight - Eddie Money
of course more guitar rock.

That is because I eat ,sleep, and dream guitar rock music. Except acoustic, you guys can and should tank that.

Surprised this was the next one eliminated, especially since it got a #1 vote from phillippe. Bottom 10 was not expected for Whitney Houston.

Huh. I would've thought this would have lasted a fair while longer. It should have lasted one more position though. :sip2:

[Deleted]

No way...
my #1 in the 90's....


can not believe I lost number 1 and another top 10 entry already

[House Lannister]

I used to make predictions, but then I'd end up getting roasted having my own words used against me.

The only thing I would have been able to predict for this rankdown is pain.

Interestingly, Venus was the first one out. I thought if any of those songs had a chance to leave in the bottom 5, it would have been the Hall and Oates number.

[gonecountry]

Venus is out and Conga is still in? Congo is way less fun than Venus.

What kind of shit show world are we living in?

#cruelsummer

[woods]

not Venus out already
