Group P I am solid with. I love me some Keith Sweat but I don’t think we can rightfully bump anything…
Jason Greenhouse
Keith Sweat for Live?
Roger Morrissette
This is a garbage group. I’m fine with Keith Sweat over Live. How about Madonna over 311?
JT Rozzero
Can’t agree there. All Mixed Up should move on.
Jason Greenhouse
I was thinking that too. I really dig that Madonna song.
Andrew Flanagan
I don’t know this Roxette song. Is anyone attached to that?
Jason Greenhouse
Madonna for Roxette can work.
Roger Morrissette
This is Roxette’s weakest hit… The Look and Must Have Been Love are both better. Take A Bow was #1 for seven straight weeks. It should probably move on. I’m good with bouncing Live and Roxette for Keith Sweat and Madonna.
Andrew Flanagan
Me too.

Group Q… I would push Aaliyah over Offspring… Andy knows how bad I want to push ahead Not Tonight, but there is no argument.
Jason Greenhouse
I agree with this. I’m cool with the other four
Andrew Flanagan
I like the top five, but I wouldn’t mind getting Aaliyah in. It is too bad about Not Tonight though…
Roger Morrissette
I agree with Aaliyah over Offspring. How do you guys feel about Ladies Night? I would be looking to dump Crash Test Dummies.
JT Rozzero
Would do that in a heartbeat.
Roger Morrissette
Motownphilly, Enter Sandman, Good Vibrations have to move on.
Andrew Flanagan
I can’t vote against Crash Test Dummies, but I’d be happy to be overruled.
Roger Morrissette
It’s close for me but I think Ladies Night deserves the nod. Up to you Greeny.
Jason Greenhouse
I’m listening to Ladies Night as we debate this. This shit advances!!!
Roger Morrissette
Boom! This will drive the Nation crazy… Four hip hop/R&B tunes around Metallica!

Group R is a tricky one because I don’t really care for the songs on the outside but we should probably debate Mambo #5, Celine and Faith at least…
Jason Greenhouse
I’m in for Mambo #5 over Black or White.
Roger Morrissette
I really disagree with that. I think the top five should move on. Molly is one of my top 10 songs personally and I can’t justify putting it in. Powerhouse group.
Andrew Flanagan
I really like that Sponge song, but I can’t really talk myself into bumping anything.
Roger Morrissette
LOL Andy… Great minds. If I was going to bounce anything it would be Heart Shaped Box.
JT Rozzero
We are really…. boxed in.
OUR PICKS: Heart Shaped Box, Man in the Box, Jump, Black or White, Streets of Philadelphia

Group S! I would dump Barbie Girl for Toni Braxton (and Curtis Martin) and then ax Sugar Ray for Bombs Ober Baghdad.
Andrew Flanagan
I can’t tell you how much I hate Sugar Ray. I’m so on board with that.
Jason Greenhouse
Toad the Wet Sprocket has my vote. Amazing song. Peace out, Sugar Ray. Rog, I hope you have my back with Toad.
Roger Morrissette
I’m with Greeny. Toad is in for me in a big way. I would dump Sugar Ray and Barbie Girl for Toad and Toni.
Andrew Flanagan
I like Walk on the Ocean, but I like OutKast more. So what now?
JT Rozzero
Dump Smashing Pumpkins?
Roger Morrissette
I could be talked into OutKast over Toni.
Roger Morrissette
I think Tonight, Tonight has to stay. How strong do you guys feel about Curtis Braxton?
Andrew Flanagan
Yeah I wouldn’t touch the top three … I like Toni more than Toad, not by a lot.
Jason Greenhouse
This might be Toni’s #1 hit. So now, OutKast or Toad?
Roger Morrissette
I vote for Toad all day between those two.
Jason Greenhouse
Me too.
JT Rozzero
Round and round we go.
Roger Morrissette
Didn’t we already move an OutKast song through?
Andrew Flanagan
I think we passed over Rosa Parks, but I may be remembering wrong.
Roger Morrissette
I’m going to play both songs for Katie and let her break the tie…It will be a fresh listen because she was barely in preschool when they came out.
Andrew Flanagan
LOL, I admire your initiative
Roger Morrissette
Katie chose OutKast
JT Rozzero
Atta girl.
Roger Morrissette
Sorry Greeny.
Jason Greenhouse
Can’t win them all.

Group T! At first glance I am swapping in Extreme and Peabo and probably dropping Smooth and Hard Knock Life. But I am not married to these beliefs.
Roger Morrissette
Loaded group. My original votes were Jay-Z, SWV, Smooth, Extreme, and Fuel. I am very much against dumping Jay-Z. Smooth was a big hit but I would choose Extreme over it. Does Machinehead really have to be here?
Jason Greenhouse
This group is stacked! Fuel and Extreme have my votes. Smooth might be the most overplayed radio song ever. Not a fan of it. I would take SWV over Bush here.
JT Rozzero
I would definitely be a fan of swapping SWV in. Thoughts on Peabo though?
Roger Morrissette
I think this group is too good for Peabo. Tough draw for a Disney song.
Jason Greenhouse
Fuel over Peabo for me, if we are gonna add one of those two.
Roger Morrissette
So we can replace Bush with SWV and Smooth with either Fuel or Extreme. I would vote for Fuel. That is a huge personal favorite of mine and I played blackjack with the singer in 2001 at Mandalay Bay.
JT Rozzero
My vote would be for Extreme… Andy where do you fall?
Jason Greenhouse
Peabo does get my vote for best mustache in the tournament.
Andrew Flanagan
SWV replacing Smooth I’m on board with. I would have kept Bush over either Fuel or Extreme, though.
Roger Morrissette
Greeny, your vote breaks the tie. Bush, Extreme, or Fuel?
Jason Greenhouse
Fuel for the win!
Roger Morrissette
Love it!!!
