MOST VITAL YET OVERLOOKED THREAD OF THE MONTH: This one.

Wow, we've been busy.

Here's the monthly poll, too.

[Poll #1080950]

Possibly I should've waited until the last 22% of Britney downloaded or I picked up my copy of Roisin Murphy before filling out the poll. On the other hand, 'One Track Lover' is actually amazing for being comedy, roughly in my vocal range, sung by Matt Perry (who I think is hott) and also, rap somewhat aside, a bloody great hair metal song. Even if it is now literally hundreds of years old.

As corrected in poll, after 1x mug of coffee I realised the best thing I've heard was Battles, which to be honest is not likely to be topped by either Roisin or Britney unless they turn out to have something as monstrous as 'Atlas' or the aforementioned 'Leyendecker' up their sleeves. Which they may well, of course.
