(I'm double posting, just in case people come across this) I know, it's pretty stupid, the way they (don't) have it set up to instantly link through a site. :-/ I didn't find that out until I already did everything. How frustrating. I also changed the name, it is too long. New name: "BasiaWeb's Best of Basia" . My bad! Go to the 'basia' area, then to the "Top Rated iMixes" listed there. when you get into that area, on the upper right hand corner is a pull down menu. If you select 'most recent' mine will be there. I hope. Also check out an AMAZING iMix called "Back in the Day on WJZZ in Detroit" which almost made me cry with teenage nostalgia. It's also a newly published iMix with Basia on it. Brilliant all the way. - -- Leslie O. "Pop music in twenty years! You're gonna love it!" --Christopher Eccleston as The Doctor __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

That song where some woman keeps screaming "Everybody Dance Now!!" 2. That song where some woman keeps screaming "I Got the POWER!!" Could both be the same woman for all I know. I just know she's one of those who mistakes screaming for soulful singing. Unfortunately both songs are used on TV commercials, so they are hard to avoid. I never got sick of "Maggie Mae," probably because I avoid top-40 and classic rock stations, so I only hear the song when I listen to the entire "Every Picture Tells a Story" album. Steve R.

"I Got The Power!" was by Snap. The song that makes me vomit now is that popular Ludacris song that I hear every time I turn on the Urban music station. Also other vomiting songs are "Superman" by Five For Fighting (because of radio overplay, though I like their most recent album). Every time I hear the line "I can't stand to fly," I sing "I can't stand THIS SONG" and immediately change the station. Also any song by the Dave Matthews Band (sorry fans!) or "This Is How You Remind Me" by Nickelback. raburabu joe - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 5:45 PM Subject: Vomit-inducing songs The two songs that really annoy me most over the past few years - and I have no idea of the actual titles or who performs them: 1.
