    Is this one of those "vote early and often" things?
    “There’s no normal life, Wyatt, it’s just life. Get on with it.” – Doc Holliday

    "It doesn't matter what you think" - The Rock

    "I borked the entry." - Some dude on the Internet

    Have I told you about otters being the only marine animal that can lift rocks?

      I'd prefer it if you voted once, but I can't stop you!

        it's kinda unfair to have the clash & the smiths up against each other at this point, that could have been a finals match
        It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

          Not for me. First round losers for me.

              Livin on a Prayer vs. White Lines was the most unfair matchup for me. While Bon Jovi's song is iconic, White Lines to me was more influential...and of course iconic wins over influential every time.

                How long will voting be open?
                If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

                    Why do I suspect this is revo's default answer for almost anything.

                      of course, if Tom Sawyer was in this thing ...

                        More iconic than the Smiths!

                          Never heard of the song "White Lines". Can't be that iconic!

                            It's super-iconic. Almost as much as The Message (which is ultra-super-iconic & should have been the pick here).

                              Just watched it on Youtube. Never heard it before.
