This song is pure unadulterated musical joy for me. I used to listen to it on repeat and just daydream for hours, imagining impossible scenarios. It's still bliss, even if at 27 I'm less likely to steal a hot pink Cadillac and leave a trail of blood and illegitimate children across the Colombian coastline, with a trunk full of strange crystals and dead bodies, crossing out the names of all who have wronged me with the tip of my blood-smeared revolver.
that was very close to my first pick

I feel the love, folks. Thanks!

I'll go in a minute, but if Birds is waiting, go ahead. I don't imagine anyone is going to snag my first pick. If Birds goes, DCT you're more than welcome to follow. I'll post within 30 mins or so.

I do have Spenno's picks.

So, I'll post his and mine. If, by chance, any of those four happen to be your first pick, we'll let you have it. But to keep this moving, I'll post my picks and Spenno's picks.

Love the pick, plat. Probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite SP song.

that's such an early 90s video.

I don't really know my bloody valentine, but that's not a bad song right there.

I was definitely considering that. Not in the next couple of picks, but a definite contender for the list.

What's the rules on a song that came out in the 90s as a single but the album it's on came out the next decade?

I think it was decided in another tournament that it should be the first released example?

I think we decided on the date it was first officially released, in any form.

Yeah, I remember that coming up before, and it's definitely the first official release. So if the single was '99, but the album was '00, then you're safe going with the single, for example.
