I've got my doubts in 1991 and 1992. Also, I've refused to decide in the years in which I strongly dislike both songs you choose.

Congratulations for choosing Sinead O'Connor's wonderful "Reason With Me". I like "RNR Love Affair" a lot, but my vote has to be for Sinead.

Her last album has been published in Spain, and it has received very good reviews. I think it's a brilliant album.

Good luck tonight ZAVI but I reckon overturning a 2-0 deficit against AC Milan may be beyond Baca.

You're right, I should have a couple more Britney's in there, Toxic and Womaniser and I should have If I was Your Girlfriend instead of Forever in my Life.

I like your song picks, but some of them are as arbitrary as it gets.

"Forever In My Life" vs "Sweetest Thing"? Wasn't the latter a U2 B-side?

Something like "Adore" vs "With Or Without You" would have made a bit more sense to me.

edit - can't criticize you for putting Christy Moore's "Black Is The Colour" there though!

I'm quite thrilled that someone from Finland knows Christy Moore. I was just picking my favourite Prince & non Prince songs each year. Sweetest thing just happens to be w b-side from the overrated Joshua tree album which robbed SOTT at the Grammy's that year. It's also ky favourite U2 song. Irresistible Bitch was also a b-side.

You were proved right and I meant to call you Xavi.
