That was the song I REALLY wanted for my first pick, but prince has so many great songs I figured I could live without it

None that great, though

So many great picks last night. Spenno's team is a monster already. Beat it, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Once in a Lifetime and Fuck the Police ALL on my list.

Both of DeLima's picks were high on my list. Keep up the good work, guy. :gomez:
