Group U is stacked at the top. I feel like there is an argument for BSB but I can’t remove any of the top five.
Jason Greenhouse
I’m good with the top four. BSB have my vote for the fifth spot. I like EMF, but this BSB tune is so good.
Andrew Flanagan
I’d stick with the top five, but I could live with BSB getting in. Roger?
JT Rozzero
Same here.
Roger Morrissette
Under normal circumstances I would move on BSB, but I originally voted for the top five and will stick with them. Five powerhouses.

OUR PICKS: Alive, Wonderwall, Hold My Hand, Hypnotize, Unbelievable

Group V… I would drop Champagne Supernova for Aerosmith or Lauryn Hill. Rest are fine with me.
Jason Greenhouse
I’m on board for that as well.
Andrew Flanagan
I’m actually good with the top five on this one, although it makes me nervous that I’m starting to agree with the voting public.
Roger Morrissette
Another stacked group! I’m with Andy. I feel that Aerosmith deserves a better fate but can’t justify dropping any of the top five.
JT Rozzero
Are we positive? Champagne is good… But that Aerosmith song was pretty big thanks to Armageddon….
Roger Morrissette
I can’t bounce Champagne Supernova. In the original voting I picked Aerosmith over Montell Jordan… and I love Montell Jordan. Tough, tough group.
JT Rozzero
Montell stays. Sorry Aerosmith.
Roger Morrissette
Luck of the draw… 6 of the top 50 are in this group. Considering we moved stuff like Keith Sweat on to round two earlier this is tough sledding.
JT Rozzero
OUR PICKS: Champagne Supernova, This Is How We Do It, Waterfalls, Baby Got Back, Plush
JT Rozzero
Group W…I say bye bye to All Star, Wrong Way and Bawitaba for Drive Me Crazy, Show Me the Meaning and Pentiums.
Jason Greenhouse
In for BSB and dropping Kid Rock. Anyone besides me gonna show some love for my girl Iesha?
Andrew Flanagan
I voted for Iesha the first time around. But I also voted for Freak Me, so take that for what it’s worth. I don’t know what to do with this group … I feel like you could talk me into any of them.
Roger Morrissette
I would bounce Kid Rock and stupid Smash Mouth for Iesha and Silk.
Roger Morrissette
I think Sublime should stay. It sounds like we have three for ABC… that makes me happy. I remember buying that tape like it was yesterday.
Jason Greenhouse
I’m with Cowboy in keeping Sublime. Seal, Whitney, Sublime, BSB and ABC for me.
Roger Morrissette
Andy, how hard are you going to fight for Silk? Do we give it up and be happy we got Iesha in? Freak Me is the best drunken karaoke song of all time if that matters.
Andrew Flanagan
It matters a lot. But yeah, I’m happy with just Iesha.
Roger Morrissette
Ok Backstreet Boys it is… Sorry Silk
JT Rozzero
Um… I’m prepared to die on this hill for Pentiums. Go listen to the brilliance. I’ll wait.
Roger Morrissette
I can’t be talked into dumping Sublime for Weird Al. Backstreet Boys… Maybe.
JT Rozzero
Andy, back me up!
Andrew Flanagan
I’ll ride for Weird Al … but I would bump Backstreet before Sublime.
JT Rozzero
Where do you guys rank Wrong Way amongst the big Sublime songs? That high?
Jason Greenhouse
It’s 2 or 3 for me. I’m ok w/ bumping BSB for Weird Al.
Andrew Flanagan
2 or 3 sounds right to me.
Roger Morrissette
Santeria, What I Got, Wrong Way in that order as far as popularity. I’m good with bumping BSB for Weird Al. Don’t want you dead on the hill JR!
JT Rozzero
OUR PICKS: Wrong Way, Kiss From a Rose, Iesha, I Will Always Love You, All About the Pentiums
JT Rozzero
Group X… Not much to complain about here… I’m not a huge DMB fan but Satellite should move on… Janet should probably get in but what to cut? Mariah?
Jason Greenhouse
This is a top three Janet song for me. Where does Dream Lover rank for Mariah? The metal head in me wants to see Slayer advance. Dave Lombardo’s drumming and Kerry King’s guitar shredding are amazing in this tune. Anyone gonna back me up on this? Are the Stones in discussion here? They’re another 90210 alumnist.
Roger Morrissette
How do you guys feel about Karma Police? I love Radiohead and didn’t vote for it. I would replace it with Janet. Maybe I’m off base but I thought Creep, Fake Plastic Trees, High and Dry all more deserving. It would be similar to bouncing Better Man for Smash Mouth except that Janet Jackson is actually talented.
JT Rozzero
I am ambivalent to Radiohead so I would be fine axing it. I say no to Stones and Slayer…
…maybe you should have supported Weird Al, Greeny!!
Karma Police has arrived for you!
Jason Greenhouse
Haha! I’m not a big Radiohead fan, but Karma Police is one of those songs that if it comes on the radio, I won’t change the channel. Where does Dream Lover rank in Mariah songs for you, JR?
JT Rozzero
High enough to deserve to move on but not high enough for me to really fight for?
Jason Greenhouse
Are you on board for Janet over Mariah?
Andrew Flanagan
I’m on board for that.
JT Rozzero
As am I
JT Rozzero
How about you Rog?
Roger Morrissette
Yes I’m good with that.
JT Rozzero
So are we cutting Mariah or Radiohead for Janet? (Or Color Me Badd!)
Jason Greenhouse
I’m in for cutting Mariah here.
Roger Morrissette
Sounds like Mariah goes!
JT Rozzero
OUR PICKS: Ice Ice Baby, End of the Road, If, Karma Police, Satellite
JT Rozzero
Group Y… Again, hard for me to knock something out of the Top 5 but I would like to see Cannonball and Feel So Good move on… (especially so Hecate and the Witches have something to dance to…)
Jason Greenhouse
I like the top three. I’m in for Mase and Brian McKnight to round out the top 5. Cannonball is a great song, but McKnight has my vote by a hair.
Roger Morrissette
I vote for Mase over Counting Crows. I would leave the other four. Fake Plastic Trees is a better song than Karma Police, which we were unwilling to bounce.
Jason Greenhouse
To be fair, I can support that.
Andrew Flanagan
I hate that the Counting Crows song got one more vote than Cannonball. But I would put Mase in over both, and I agree Radiohead should stay.
JT Rozzero
OK, last call for Cannonball….
Roger Morrissette
That sounds like consensus! We are getting good at this.
JT Rozzero
Well I guess that no sell from the Cowboy seals it.
OUR PICKS: You’ve Got a Friend In Me, Take a Picture, 2 Become 1, Fake Plastic Trees, Feel So Good
JT Rozzero
Group Z! And I am good to go here…
Roger Morrissette
Garbage group! The only change I would make is Tesla over The Cure and even that one is close for me.
JT Rozzero
No group with Scenario should ever be considered garbage. You are garbage!
Roger Morrissette
In general the group is weak… Scenario is a great song though. My apologies.
Andrew Flanagan
I second officially designating Roger as garbage.
JT Rozzero
Great, just need Greeny to make it a consensus.
Jason Greenhouse
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tesla. Five Man Accoustical Jam is one of my favorite albums of all time. Signs is a great cover by them, BUT O gotta stick with the five voted in here as well. The Cure and Tribe are too strong to bump Telsa for.
Andrew Flanagan
I agree with keeping the top five. Although we should at least give honorable mention to “My Body”
JT Rozzero
OUR PICKS: Nothing Else Matters, Hip Hop Hooray, Friday I’m In Love, Sex & Candy, Scenario
JT Rozzero
And that does it for part one, Nation! Part two is coming soon so keep those eyes and ears peeled. 90s forever!
