Extra thanks to SM, who provided me with a votes template, which I have now tailored to my needs should this unfortunate situation ever arise again.

5. Future Islands - Seasons (Waiting On You) - Amazing song. One of the best of the decade. Easy 5.
4. Built To Spill - Goin' Against Your Mind - Nice choice. First time I've seen Built To Spill nominated here.
3. Freddie King - Going Down - Not really my style, but I enjoyed this.
2. The Field - Looping State of Mind - Again, not really my style (or at least my style of techno), but The Field is pretty good.
1. Crooked Man - Coming Up For Air - Interesting track. JWS' tracks always capture my attention.

BM: Boy Meets Girl - Waiting for a Star to Fall - Worst of a pretty bad bunch. This was so bad it made me physically ill. There's no excuse for sounding this bad and dated, the Julee Cruise album was only released one year later.
I got my first win with "Carry the zero" pretty sure that was the first time they have been nommed here before.

Pretty sure I nommed a Built To Spill song before you joined the contest. Love them.

EDIT: Was "I Would Hurt A Fly". Be keen to see how well a song off There's Nothing Wrong With Me would do.

My votes word for word

5. Brad sucks - Making me nervous - Cracking tune and something I hadn't heard before
4. Ja Rule Feat. Case - Livin' It Up Dirty Version - :) Guilty pleasure
3. The Stone Roses - Driving South - Damn John Squire can wield an axe
2. Fritz Kalkbrenner - Facing The Sun - Nice track
1. white rabbits - while we go dancing - cracker

Billie: Floating - Julee Cruise - possibly the worst song I have ever heard

Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova (Once) would have got my billie in 99.99% of contests

5- Stumblin In
4- Breathing Underwater
3 - Going Through Changes
2 - Punching in a Dream
1 - Waiting for a Star to Fall

Billy - What are you doing?

Not a bad list overall. Seasons unlucky to miss out on votes, enjoyed it. Lots of songs with beats that I just didn't like. The Tom Petty songs are good just too mainstream and just got no wow factor.

5. The Field - Looping State of Mind :: Allowed me to drift away and concentrate on tasks. Forgot I was listening to it, and was sad it stopped.
4. Slowdive - Star Roving :: So this is shoegaze? It's alright, I spose.
3. Fritz Kalkbrenner - Facing The Sun :: Seemed to have a very drum'n'bass' tempo without having much drums or bass.
2. The Naked and Famous - Punching in a Dream :: The Mrs wanted me to nom this song, then suggested I should vote for it.
1. The Stone Roses - Driving South :: Solid guitar solo. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

B. Robert Palmer - Looking For Clues :: Horribly dated song. Like 80s sci-fi movies , someone still loves it but it's pretty average.

HM. Tom Petty - Free Ballin' :: I, too, like walking around without underpants on.
