i really have no idea at this point, going to digest this first.

one great thing about these polls is i'm still learning about music and heard songs like "Pressure Drop," "Famous Blue Raincoat," "Final Solution" and "Jolene"

I gotta have that cowbell.

38 choices isn't as bad as i first thought. it just feels like so many more as these songs are so good.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Monday, 20 January 2014 00:01 (eleven years ago)

the lack of responses is making me realize that i need a long, long break away from posting on ILM.

― Bee OK, Monday, 20 January 2014 02:07 (eleven years ago)

It's almost impossible to vote, I love so many of these songs equally.
