Whatever the outcome of this challenge I see it as a win-win. Either my band wins or the poor maligned Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers finally break their curse.

Don’t Let’s Start
Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
Birdhouse In Your Soul
Ana Ng
New York City
Statue Got Me High
Particle Man
James K. Polk
The Guitar
They’ll Need a Crane

Petty wins 45.5-34.5

TMBG takes over for Petty as the losingest band without a win.

The losers get lucky. The waiting, has indeed been the hardest part.

"Century City" went 2-5-1, but I can't help thinking it was my lucky charm. Let me ask the voters: did you know that song? Should I have linked it?

I had to go find it meself and no, it shouldnta been included, at least not as a strategy.

"Particle Man" is one of my favorite TMBG songs (and probably one of their more popular ones). If you needed a sacrificial lamb, that's one to go against. I wouldn't use it in the future, however.

Should this count though since I didn't wait 2 1/2 months for my turn to come up?

My next lineup change for Petty will include an upload. A block-rocking, gobstopping upload.

Any song from Damn the Torpedoes --- any --- is worthy of this contest.

Any.
