99. Deerhunter Nothing Ever Happened
98. Missy Elliott Work It
97. Radiohead Idioteque
96. Walkmen The Rat
Unfortunately you might be right about Fever Ray, maybe about Deerhunter and Missy too.
Idioteque has a good chance at top 50 and I don't see The Rat that low. Lowest Radiohead song might more likely be Reckoner.
I would go with :
100. Scissor Sister - I Don't Feel Like Dancin'
99. Depeche Mode - Precious
98. Santigold - L.E.S. Artistes
97. Fever Ray - Keep the Streets Empty for Me
96. R. Kelly - Ignition (remix) : this one might be more popular here than I think though
I should not have placed Idioteque in the bottom 5.
I was tempted to put L.E.S. Artistes and I Don't Feel Like Dancin' in the bottom 5.
On the other hand, I need to think a bit more regarding why Precious or Ignition would be in the bottom 5.
100. Scissor Sister - I Don't Feel Like Dancin'
99. Depeche Mode - Precious
98. Santigold - L.E.S. Artistes
97. Fever Ray - Keep the Streets Empty for Me

1. Outkast - Hey Ya
I refuse to see Rebellion Lies above Wake Up !
The 91-100 section turned out to be a difficult one. Who would have guessed "Get Ur Freak On" and "Machine Gun"!? Anyway, here are the results:
1. Dan M, 4p (4 songs)
2. Nick, 3p (2 songs + 1 position)
2. Henrik, 3p (3 songs)
4. Nassim, 2p (2 songs)
Let's see if the top 10 will be more predictable. Still time to vote!
4. Nassim, 2p (2 songs)
I got Santogold's position right too !
4. Nassim, 2p (2 songs)
I got Santogold's position right too !
Corrected results:
1. Dan M, 4p (4 songs)
2. Nick, 3p (2 songs + 1 position)
2. Henrik, 3p (3 songs)
2. Nassim, 2p (2 songs + 1 position)
If you haven't been keeping track, these are the 25 songs left, ordered according to how I think they will show up.

16. Last Nite
17. John Wayne Gacy
18. Arcade Fire - Wake Up
19. Casmir Pulaski Day
20. Stan
I don't think Crazy will win. I think it will be between Paper Planes and All My Friends, but I'm sure All My Friends will win handily.
It had the biggest number of points and has no real dislikers so I think it is the biggest candidate. In my opinion, it is aging quite badly, was in my top 20 all time 2 years ago but now it's really slipping.
