Changed !

Well we got one supporter of Rob's idea As mentioned in last week's thread, need your opinion guys.

And Rob, if you feel like making a mini review of the random 10,000 in this thread, feel free

My pick this week is:
Carly Rae Jepsen - Making the Most of the Night

Let's go for aciiiiiiid
ASCII.Disko - Immer

Simon & Garfunkel - Mrs. Robinson

I feel like the way to write it is "The Cranberries - Dreams"

Metal Heart by Cat Power (Jukebox Version)

Riccardo Cocciante - ‘Quando Finisce Un Amore’ (the original 1974 version please) I had the American version under Richard Cocciante ‘When Love Has Gone Away’ on 45 rpm. Spent many nights at 13 years old wearing that vinyl out. OMG I don’t feel that old! Still gives me chills.

Nino Ferrer - Looking For You

I guess I update my only one nomination in the game at a time rule to two nominations at a time. Since Lana Del Rey has made the Hall of Fame (hurray!) I will add another song from my top 1.000 that is overlooked at this forum. But this time probably because it is in Dutch. I just want to see how it fares with people who don't speak the language. So, from my top 100 I nominate:

Van Dik Hout - Stil in mij
