Even though I voted for Evanescence, I gotta' say, that's the post of the day right there!

this blows my mind. i felt like i couldn't get away from it when it came out. it was literally everywhere. planes, trains, automobiles, shopping malls and every radio station. i'm pretty sure that even the oldies stations were playing it. i'd duck into dumpsters in dark alleys, and this tune would find me. i'd rewatch lord of the rings, and the song would infultrate lothlorien. i'm pretty sure this was the theme song in every movie that came out that summer. i had to physically claw my ears off my body to get this tune to stop haunting me, and i thought it worked until low-and-behold, this bloody tournament revived it's immortal soul. bloody hell.

don't let evanescence win.

Yeah I was on mobile, but I think I didn’t hit abstain? Or I did? Hope it won’t matter in the end 😐

Got to go Streets on this one. Actually the first time I've heard the Evanescence track so I guess it wasn't a big hit in the UK. Sounded quite nice but the tune didn't really hit me.

Ah yes, another one of those... um, painfully early 00s tracks. I think I.. quite liked it as a kid, back in 6th grade or so the cool kids listened to 50 Cent, and then some of us listened to Bring me back to life, and shit like this. Never listened to it after that, it's in the same shelf as Linkin Park, euro-metal, and some watered down post grunge.

The Streets by a lot.

Original Pirate Material was one of my faves of the entire 2000s. As someone else already said, Skinner's storytelling is on another level altogether.

May have to burn Evanescence for my girls though!

Do be careful when you're voting, often times when one is intending to vote for the bottom song they can accidentally hit abstain especially if they are voting on a mobile. I hope that's not becoming a problem in this tournament 🤔

Amy Lee; possibly the richest, purest, most glorious voice of the decade. Super easy slam dunk choice here over the lazy rap.

Two very different types of nostalgia here. In 2004 I might have gone with My Immortal (and indeed I like it when Amy Lee is at her most Tori-esque, despite the somewhat VHI feel of the song), but now easily Mike The Streets Skinner, one of if not thee best storytellers of the 2000s.
