And tomorrow we're diving straight into 3-pointers, since there's no multiple-voter choices so far.

Wow, I really would have expected More to Life to get more than one vote, especially given the recent Popjustice Stacie Orrico stanning hour.
Thank You Baby! is my favorite song off one of my all-time favorite albums. It sounds like no other song I know, but I love it.

OK, I'm cheating a little bit with this one, because "You Know You're Right" is obviously an archival song from the 90's - allegedly, the last song Kurt Cobain worked on, possibly intended for the next Nirvana album if such was going to happen. However, it was allowed as it didn't see official release until 2002.
Honestly, listening to "You Know You're Right"... I think for the next LP, Nirvana could've actually bettered In Utero. It's one of the most raw and heavy things they ever recorded, a bitter reflection on emotional manipulation and being demonised, surrounded by vicious In Utero style feedback but with a massive chorus that would have fit in well on the poppier Nevermind. And it has what I think is one of Kurt's greatest vocal performances, ever. It's a goddamn tragic song, is what it is - the good die young, they say. Just makes me wonder what might have been - but for everyone in 2002, when grunge was the day before yesterday's news, it was a powerful reminder of why Nirvana mattered in the first place rather than just being a name on a T-shirt.

Natasha Thomas had so much potential! Even though she didn't become a household name, at least she delivered a few gems. Amazing choice @Zar-Unity
Thank you very much @saviodxl ! So "state of mind" was always a stand out to
me from Natasha's amazing second album! The way she sings this song, the great
lyrics and the great production and strong background vocals make this song a
stand out for me and everytime it comes on I feel energy tingles throughout my
whole body and just have to pause and give a big smile to myself. I love this artist
so much! Thank you for introducing her to me back in early PJ00! saviodxl !
Are we kidding ourselves? No! Natasha Thomas is a singer with such high
potential and outstanding talent that..honestly she should have went on to
have like 10 albums released in her name! Could you imagine? A Natasha
Thomas rate? Oh my...
Also great seeing Hayden make a spot on your list earlier with "wake up call"!

Well, @WowWowWowWow is running a Danish Pop Music rate soon, so... Hello @WowWowWowWow!
He/Him
Thank You Baby!! One of the (very few) Shania singles I didn't know as a kid, so it was a wonderful surprise when I listened to the (amazingly classic) Up! for the first time in 2017. Love seeing it here @VivaForever! Especially since I feel like it's extremely underrated.

Sevendust occupies such an interesting place in the rock landscape. Their early hits made people put them in the "nu-metal" box, even though they've always been much more than what that subgenre usually offers, hence why their music has held up so well over the decades. The glue that holds it together is obviously Lajon's vocals. The way he sings and writes melodies is so R&B and soul inspired that having him being backed up by such heavy instrumentation immediately made the band stood out to me back in 2005. The unusual marriage of R&B and metal feels so smooth and natural, and it's no surprise their acoustic songs and albums are also miles above those attempted by other bands.
The groove and control he showcases on this song alone blows my mind... no one else could pull it off. Considering my music tastes then shifted to more straight up R&B and poppy artists, I feel like I owe a good part of my music journey to this band. Similarly, the amount of rock and metal bands with those same influences that popped up in the 2010s makes me think Sevendust were ahead of their time.
I was actually listening to it just last week too! An enduring classic. Hope Stuck made the list as well.

Who Do You Love Now? > I Begin To Wonder > Put The Needle On It > Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling, but whew, what a singles run.
Who Do You Love Now? is legitimately one of the best dance songs of all time and that's that on that.
