Eliminations Hall of Fame opened (second post, front page)

Yes, what a joy!

The game is close to 700 eliminations, when eliminations are close to 800 I will post the top 200 on the last page of the thread.
In the final step the deletions took place with each member copying the list and highlighting the song they wanted to delete.

The three songs on my chopping block in the 900s were three I didn't actually know. Which was easily solved.

Thanks Elder. You're doing a good keeping on top of all this!
The FKA Twigs song should be crossed out though.

After reviewing the deletions you've made so far, I do not seem to find any of my all-time faves among your selections.

Perhaps our preferences are more aligned in some manner that I hadn't observed before.

I of course had to do you the same courtesy, but unfortunately you did eliminate my 2nd place song of all time, Downtown Train, so that theory may not hold water. Perhaps one day I'll pay you back in kind, but probably not today.
