There are only 19 songs, wasn't it supposed to be 20?
Re: AMF Survivor, Season 1, Episode 1!
Fixed! If you already voted, you'll have to vote again.

All great songs, voted for Neneh Cherry, the weakest in my opinion.

Never heard Hallogallo before this, it kind of rules.

Unfortunately in an attempt to sway away from Flume I’ve voted for Steely Dan, though I do really like the song! Steely Dans debut is the only one I’ve ever really gotten into.

Three days remain, and it looks like two frontrunners for elimination have emerged. Which will remain, and which will be eliminated?

Re: AMF Survivor, Season 1, Episode 1!
It's a strong selection, but Suede was an easy choice regardless. Never been all that much into their sound.
For future themes, one that I think could be fun would be the last song ranked on AM for every year. These tend to be acclaimed songs that are still generally overlooked. Since that's more than 20 songs, you could first eliminate them per decade (and we finally get some 1910's, 1920's, etc. mini-polls!) and then have the winners of each decade run against each other. Since that might run a bit long you could perhaps also chose for two or three eliminations per week (I wouldn't be against that for this poll already). This would work without nominations.
Another fun theme, based on the discussion above: dad rock or AOR.

That's a great idea (the last of each year). Also, I plan to have the polls take three days from here on out, just giving a week to familiarize everyone with the songs.Rob wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 2:24 pm It's a strong selection, but Suede was an easy choice regardless.
