no ETA yet on when I'll open my next rd, though I've already been putting it together, so stay tuned

[reputainbow]

thanks for hosting aero! lots of great songs to discover and help support. very happy that my #1 won! one my personal favorites from kylie.

[zippy]

Róisín Murphy's song sounds like D Train's Keep On, which made it sound familiar to me, even though it samples a different song.



And the Keep On is from the album... wait what!? The album title contains THE ONE!!!

[Az Paynter]

I approve of this finish xx :)

[willapted33]

'the one' is easily among the best i've heard from kylie & it's a superb winner

also happy to see both 'they-say vision' & 'heartbeat' crack the top 5, excellent songs

thanks for hosting aero, made a bunch of great discoveries from this

{FROM THE WORDS TO THE WALLS}#10: This had a high SD?????
#9: This having a high SD makes a little more sense than "Half Asleep", but man, I was hoping this would have a chance to be a dark horse winner. Camera Obscura don't miss.
#8: Maybe instead of pointing out how low I ranked Sophie, I should have pointed out how low I ranked Robyn. Don't get me wrong, this is still really good, just not a personal favorite.
#7: So, I completely forgot this was in a gates RD. Moreover, it was a song I ranked fairly low in said gates RD. Granted, this was almost five years ago, but still.
#6: You have no idea how happy I am that this is not only top ten, but almost top five. It's not quite my favorite Perfume song (stay tuned for that one, that's all I'll say), but it's close.
#5: And that's my rooting interests in this top ten out back to back, damn. I remember when this dropped, and, even at the time, I knew this was special. It has only gotten better with age.
#4: You cannot go wrong with Goldfrapp.
#3: I had two songs in mind as the winner, and this was one of them...so we are headed toward the inevitable, then.
#2: My favorite song of hers until "Incapable". Banger.
#1: Yep, the inevitable result, but this song is great, so it's fine.

As always, great RD hosted, aerodynamite. Sorry about having to do word walls a few times, but work has had a habit of wearing me out lately.
