Celebrating our 500th post!!
I actually planned on doing a bunch of "500" songs, but I didn't think that would really represent W♥M. So I thought back and remembered that we sort of had a contest about which songs were your favorite.
As it turns out, the clear winner is Stars' "This Charming Man", a favorite here since we've mentioned them several times now.
So let's take a look at why this song is good? First of all it's a Smiths cover song, so instantly there's something to be liked. Then there is Stars' unique take on the song, mixing melody with a dance beat.
When you add it up, it's a very excellent song!

So start voting by marking these songs as a favorite. Winners will be announced in October, and it looks like Stars is destroying the competition :/
If you feel your favorite band is not represented here, please get four of your friends to mark one of our song a favorite and then send me an email, I will definitely reconsider in the next voting reminder in September.
