It’s now 1997, and **you may vote for more than one song, so I urge you to unless you dislike the entries.**
**Older polls are open and please check them out and vote!**
1995 NEEDS MORE VOTES!

Elegantly Wasted
I Want You\*
Tubthumping
\*This vote in NO WAY constitutes an endorsement of Savage Garden’s other hit songs (“Truly Madly Deeply” and “I Knew I Loved You”). Those are two of the biggest pieces of fucking shit I’ve ever heard.
Sugar Ray is dead-ass last.

Replace “_Missing_” by _Don’t Speak_ and you’ve got my vote.
