Not many votes for the songs from Elliott Smith's "Speed Trials / Angeles / I Don't Think I'm Ever Gonna Figure It Out" single. I wonder if voters have been aware of that 1996 release?

Last day to vote! I won't extand voting time this month because of lack of time (exams coming). For the same reasons I might publish the results a little late.
Sorry but I can' t guarantee that late ballots will be taken into account.

I was wondering why there wasn't a list from you (ditto antonius, Bruno_Antonio and Moonbeam). I guess people don't always have sufficient free time, especially in the summer months.

Fuck. #15 and #16 are my #2 and #1 respectively and I'll be happy for either song to progress. But the lyrics to "Cybele's Reverie" is entirely in French, so shouldn't that song be the best non anglophone song? Which means there should probably be a tiebreak.

You are right. The thing is I cannot edit now. Could somebody create the tie break poll cause otherwise I qwon't be able to do it before tomorrow night at least
Sorry but I ve been working on this the whole afternoon I' m gonna need a little help. So feel.free.to.open the tie.break thread on my behalf

Nicolas, you've done an excellent job as usual. Good luck with the exam!

Dan, will you take care of the tie-breaker? It would probably be good with a link to the Compay Segundo song (and if so the Suede song as well) to get a lot of people to vote.

I'll open the tiebreak thread shortly. And no one can blame you for forgetting that "Cybele's Reverie" is non anglophone when the music is so anglophone!

Thanks for running this 90s poll every month, nicolas. You are having busy times and it's a lot of additional work for a busy man. We do appreciate it very much!
