Best of The Week Poll (April 17th-21st, 2011)

It's that time again! And by again, I mean, for the first time ever.
It's Audience Participation time!

Tonight we have a poll to determine the ten best songs of the week. It includes all 50 of the songs that have made our 5 lists of 10 thus far. Saturday night's playlist will be determined by what the songs you (collectively) pick. You can vote for more than one song, of course. (Though it's probably better if you don't go over 10 votes, or the results will get all muddled and we'll have to do terrible, unspeakable things to determine the winners.)

New playlists resume Sunday night.
Please do vote, and thank you!

Honorable Mentions: Teenage Dream (by Katy Perry), Oh My (by Office) , Only The Good Die Young (by Billy Joel), Semi-Charmed Life (by Third Eye Blind), I'll Make Love To You (by Boyz II Men)

The term NSFW gets thrown around a lot these days. And so perhaps we should throw it here (at least, for some of tonight's music). No doubt, anyone unfamiliar with this set of songs might find themselves bobbing their heads to it long before they know what the lyrics mean. By then it is too late, of course. The beat already has you. You're trapped by the seductive melodies and entrancing rythyms. There is no escape.

Then again, if it's good music, why even try to stop listening?

Hope you enjoy it.

OH DAMN.
You best be running from someone. Or after someone. It's not entirely clear. The point is that there is a chase going on and you are participating in it. You must be or these songs wouldn't be playing.

Do not argue with me on this.

Just listen to the music, and (hopefully) enjoy it.
...but run, seriously.
