<br>Freewave, this is amazing! Again, I love a man with a spreadsheet! [:X]

Blir, doo-ood, "It's My Life" is my #1 song! P.S. How do you know I DON'T have boobs like that? [}:)] Victoria's Secret makes some pretty amazingly engineered bras these days. [:p]

Finally, is Industry's "State of the Nation" the one with the refrain "There's no place like home"?

Doh!...well, we'll always have had BSP. [:(] But I'm pretty sure Waukena's patented those things. BTW, is it a bad sign if "a friend" just sits and stares at a man's fake gif-animated boobs for hours on end??

And yes, that song has that refrain toward the end but not necessarily part of the main chorus of "Don't you worry 'bout the situation...[i]a message from the telephone[/i], They're out there fighting for the state of the nation...[i]I'm waiting for the chance to come home</I>"

Hey hubbers. I'm going to make a Top NWO 99 folder in my share list with those 99 songs when I'm done with my move but it would be a cool thing if anyone else wants to join in with that in the meantime. [:D]

<br>By the way thanks for all the compliments guys. [:I] It wasn't all work and it was a lot of fun (i love lists). [:D] Plus my workplace I'm sure is thrilled I was able to use company pc's and time inbetween work to tabulate such lists. [8)]

Great work and a truly tremendous effort, Freewave ... and partly done on company time like all normal people![:D]

Enjoy this little token of inspiration, everyone!

Excellent job FreeWave!!!! Was pretty amazed at how the list turned out and certainly can't complain! Can't say that I agree with a lot of the placements and there are a few that I never heard of - but the NWOutposters have spoken! Way to go FreeWave!

Pretenders - "Stop Your Sobbing"
Mi-Sex - "Computer Games"
Blondie - "X-Offender"
Boomtown Rats - "Banana Republic"
Icehouse - "We Can Get Together"
Killing Joke - "Fire Dances"
Belouis Some - "Some People"

Robbed! They were robbed, I tell ya![:D]

A Flock O S - I Ran (56? behind Photograph and S.A.L.S.?)
Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime (170-203)
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (no placement [:D])
Yaz - Don't Go (6 points!)
All Sisters of Mercy (no clear single winner i guess)
Duran Duran - Rio (no placement)
Clash - Rock The Casbah (in the last 100)

Well, we all like to think we're unique and special . . .

But, 61 of my 100 were in the top 500, 23 were in the top 100, and my entire top 20 was on the list (of course, a couple of my top 10 made it to the 500 only because my vote gave them 5 points!), and only 6 of my artists aren't represented on the list. That includes Wham and Kajagoogoo!

WOW!!!![:0] I didn't even notice the "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" didn't make the list! That is truly suprising!

A few others that I might not have chosen myself, but was suprised not to see:

Bananarama - "Cruel Summer"
Culture Club - "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" & "Karma Chameleon"

Overall though, a real winner of a list - and I sure ain't gonna argue with this knowledgeable lot!
