2011 NWO Top Songs Poll

[Frau_Blucher]

Per suggestions in the discussion about previous top songs lists (http://nwoutpost.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22167), I'm opening up this poll to anyone who wants to submit or resubmit their favorite NEW WAVE songs list. Here's what I ask:

1. That people post their Top 50 favorite songs to this thread, In Order.
2. Please NO Numbers in front of your selections - they'll just have to parsed out anyway
2. No Line Spaces between your selections - ditto above
3. "Artist" - "Song" - this order shouldn't vary, mega ditto to above
4. Please use a Hyphen seperator between "Artist - Song", not a comma, colon, or whatever else - this is a biggie
5. Proper Spelling is a must - I'll be using a pivot table to help sort the data and wrong spelling messes it all up. If the song start with "The" or "A", include "The" or "A", etc.
6. Please don't make notations about "extended", "single", "alternate", "original" etc versions. Just the song (in all its forms if that be the case).

From this, I'll make an updated list of the NWO Top 100. Again, submit your Top 50 to make an NWO Top 100. I'll leave the poll open thru Memorial Day Weekend - May 30th. I'll replace previous submissions with the most current one and tally all submissions accordingly.

Note that failure to adhere to the above submission format means your list will not be tallied - a first-pass natural selection that will hopefully filter out the most heinous of said lists. [:D]

Should Fun Boy Three be listed as:
Fun Boy Three or Fun Boy 3?

Elitist!

[Frau_Blucher]

Here's my first crack. I'm tempted to be revisionist and throw in all those rare bits that I've picked up thru association with all you guys. Some of them may have snuck in, but I also won't forget all the formative songs that I originally grew to love over the radio. So not too many fundamental changes. I won't tabulate until the end in case you're gonna keep editing like I probably will...

If bands or songs have the word "and" in them should we write it out or use the ampersand?

The Joint Itemization of Songs Ministry - or JISM if you will - has yet to rule on this matter. Your choice for now.
