Thanks, I just might. It's on the Prince mix you're getting soon, so you're gonna have to sit through it one way or another.

It was the intended follow-up to Sign "O" the Times in late 1987. Warner Bros. printed it up, sent it out for reviews, and then the night before it was supposed to be shipped for commercial release Prince demanded all existing copies destroyed, and it never came out. It was then commercially released in 1994.
I have a song from it on my list, but I'll take it off.
nah, take it. I think these are grey enough areas that whoever gets to the song first is fine.
pragmatism ftw!
Agreed, I think both Jorge's and Lament's picks should be valid.
They're not identical scenarios, I don't think there's any great inconsistency.

Stop being Dicks - Jorge's pick is fine as it was around the place in one form or another in the 90's and is absolutely a 90's song.
Lament's pick is fine too as it was officially released in the 90s.
See - you're both winners.

I'm still mulling some choices for my next pick and think I'll sleep on this one. If it gets to my turn overnight, skip my turn and I'll pick it up when I get up.

No, it doesn't "stick in my craw." It happens to be a situation similar to a song I was strongly considering picking which exists under fairly similar circumstances. I had been operating under the assumption that I could take it in this tournament. Obviously I can't.
For the record though... who the hell cares.
Well, it's good to know it's not just me... Pinocc... er, I mean Platypus has been a sourpuss to others today, too.

If your interpretation of me defending my pick based on my reading of the rules is I'm "being a sourpuss" then uhh I don't really know what to tell you dude.
Yeah, I just realised. You're up LMS.
