Wow....this year might be the worst year yet. So much bad music, 'in my opinion.'

INXS is great, 'Suicide Blonde' actually got me into them, so I vote for that song.
"Cradle of Love" is a solid Idol track.. so I went with that.

Don't know about my third...toss up between a few songs.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Downtown Train, Black Velvet, and Blaze Of Glory

[MasonK565]

After listening through the tracks, I almost forgot about the existence of 'Black Velvet.' That is an amazing song.

[DSR]

Cradle of Love. That's my only vote for this year.

Cradle of Love, Suicide Blonde, and Hard to Handle

[nickcave]

Hard to Handle, Black Velvet, Suicide Blonde.

Also, screw Rod Stewart for butchering that amazing Tom Waits song.

[saneiac]

What It Takes, Hard to Handle, Suicide Blonde

[Orange]

Yeah, not a lot of winners there.

I got "Black Velvet", "What It Takes" and "Blaze of Glory".
