Hello people!

My votes are for:

1-) Men at Work - Down By the Sea (JD)
2-) The Gang - Dopo la Pioggia (After the Rain) (jamesbaldwin)
3-) Radiopuhelimet - Jäämeri (Hiram)

I'll at least do my stuff (poll creatorship) when my turn comes, but I cannot promise to be a participant for a while. Add some "it's not about you, it's about me..." drama here. Cool

Well, not a drama but my internet usership habit has changed for some time. I don't know how long it will last, or if I'll ever be back to my former habit. 

Love you all! Hug

And 

See you all. Thumbs Up

That was one of the reasons why it got my vote. The unique and haunting sounds of the erhu complemented the song very well.

As usual, the quality level of this poll has been very high. On the other hand, most of the songs did not truly resonate with me. Here's my picks:

Gustavo Santaolalla - Beautiful acoustic guitar playing, a lovely impressionistic track
Hot Tuna - Another stunning instrumental showcasing Jorma Kaukonen's impressive skills
Ariana Tikao & Al Fraser - Unique and intriguing music that needs more exposure

Honourable mentions for Handel's Water Music (not my favourite classical era, but still excellent), Susan McKeown and PJ Harvey. The Romanian song was also quite interesting.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.
