New Wave Outpost Forum

I've limited this one to Disintegration and earlier and already whittled it down to 50. If some favorite of yours isn't on the list, it's because I already knocked it off and it had no chance of winning anyway because, face it, that song isn't very good ("Let's Go To Bed, for example).

Here are the rules in case anyone has forgotten or is new to the game:

Copy and paste the list from the last post. Remove your least favorite song. Put it at the top so we know what's been deleted and attempt to make us laugh with a clever comment about the song you are deleting. No back to back posts - you have to wait until someone else takes a turn, invariably deleting a song you really like.
