The only real conlusion I've drawn is just how many of these I find aren't great but require far too much effort to really hate. In a 'which of these are any downright horrible at all' poll I could only tick 3 or 4, if that, but otoh there's only 3 or 4 here I think are really good. So many songs seem to have qualities I both like and despise whether it's 'Ruby' or 'Foundations' or 'Bleeding Love' or 'Beautiful Girls', which at least bodes well for freakytigger's proposed blog on 'songs you almost like but have some problem with' perhaps.

'With Every Heartbeat' was 24th btw, one place below 'Starz In Their Eyez' bah
