    AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH, Time After Time almost made it. Mere seconds separating the 7th vote for Total Eclipse and the last few votes needed to push Time After Time over. That's a kicker. :(

    Oh well, that's me down to 2 out of 10 now and possibly down to 1 by the time R3 finishes. *sigh* At least Total Eclipse is still a good tune, so that's some consolation I guess.

    Also note to self: get votes in first, edit reasons after! It's so easy to get caught up in writing a mini-essay on why you're voting a certain way, then hit post and realise that tie was already settled and everyone else is busy voting in the next round!! :o

    Glad someone nominated White Wedding. I forgot about that one. It's the best song remaining in my opinion.

    I was going to leave it out of my 10. I honestly didn't think it would get this far, I thought it would of been knocked out in the qualifiers. But I had to have a bit more rock in my selection so I kept it in.

    I'm pleasantly surprised by how well it's doing so far :D

    Belinda for me here, that's far enough for this particular Police song... if it was Every Breath You Take however :(

    Boys of the Summer, like Bette Davis Eyes but prefer Boys of the Summer that little bit more.

    Until DJ Sammy decided to remix it that was :/

    Sweet Dreams - would make a deserving overall winner. Can't stand Want To Break Free.

    Sunday Bloody Sunday - tough call, and I nearly voted the other, but I think this is the better song.

    #11 - Sweet Dreams (though it should of course be Don't You Forget About Me here winning this round. :mad: )

    #12 -Love Will Tear Us Apart- if it was With or Without You I'd vote U2 but Sunday Bloody Sunday just misses out for me.
