Ha love it!

So what did you think of my Dong then?
Love your dong - that's the sort of thing I like about this - hearing stuff I didn't know of. 4 of the vote getters this round are songs I hadn't heard before (Statesboro Blues the exception). I hate what I've heard of the Counting Crows but gave it a listen without prejudice and ended up giving it a vote. "Vienna" I hated when it came out and listening to it here confirmed what a godawful song it is. Utterly over-rated pretentious shite.

5: Stockholm Syndrome - Muse
4: Statesboro Blues - Blind Willie McTell
3: Lisbon - Wolf Alice
2: Good Light in Broome - Neil Murray
1: Raining in Baltimore - Counting Crows

Billy: Vienna - Ultravox

Ahhh yeah I can understand the feeling of disappointment some rounds. I love myself finding some new stuff, and a few posters have put me onto some great tracks in here.

Agree completely - absolute philistines. You got my 4 votes but seriously, there's not a group of individuals on the planet who would rate the aurul diarrhoea that is the Whitlam's "Melbourne", the gimmicky "Moscow", Springsteen's 2nd worst song he's ever written, the formulaic Don Henley shite, Hole!!, mindnumbingly vapid "Vienna", the drippingly sentimental vomit that is "London Still", and U2!!, ahead of The Cult's New York City. You people need therapy. o_Oo_O
What song of his is worse than Streets of Philadelphia? Love a good melt btw, it's been a while.

I gave the Cult's New York City 2 botes but you didn't repay the favour with 2 botes for Hole's Malibu.

Malibu was half written by Billy Corgan, it was a classic 90s dong, their best dong after Live Through This which was an epic 90s album.


I want to be the girl with the most cake, some day you will ache like I ache.

I remember driving home from uni around late 94 and listening to Triple J and they said here's Kurt Cobain's missus band Hole.

I was so ready to hate them but then they played this.


I was impressed and after hearing a couple of Hole's other singles I bought Live Through This, no ragrets.

Musically, Malibu has more in common with Factory Showroom than Live Through This.

Malibu has more in common with Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Corgan.

Crash and burn
All the stars explode tonight
How'd you get so desperate
How'd you stay alive
Help me please
Burn the sorrow from your eyes
Oh come on be alive again
Don't lay down and die

If they aren't Smashing Pumpkins lyrics I'll go hee.
