@VampiressMiharu - as klare said "it's really about preferences", you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that but the inclusion of "God knows" is justified (by me) for the ff. reasons: it's been recommended twice here, a constant presence in "best anime songs" in other forums and polls not limited to OPs/EDs, several millions in youtube hits and the fact that it has accumulated 100+ weeks on Oricon, Japan's version of Billboard, and still charting and selling 136,000+ copies of its CD single (besting "Hare Hare Yukai").

Speaking of Haruhi, great news for us Haruhi fans! after 3 years a new episode of Haruhi aired in Japan. Here's the ED song "Tomare!" (no OP yet):

lyrics:
Sora kara ochite kitan da subete no negai wo nosete
Hitotsu no hoshi ni wa chotto omokatta kana
Yappari nanika hen da yo kokoro no kimi ga kieta
Tashika ni oboeterutte ieru no kai?

Tomare! kako wa jibun no mono
Touzen dare tomo torikaetaku nai naze nara
Baasudei datta watashi tachi ni wa
Deai ga umareta toki ni hajimete no yume ga mieru
Doushiyou katte nayanda koto mo
Ima omoeba waraeru hodo da da yo ne
Mou wasureteta kimi wo sagasou

In my opinion "Tomare!" is good but "Hare Hare Yukai" is better. Now back to the subject...

This week I'm presenting songs suggested by a frequent contributor to this thread: christinemarie. Actually I have included a suggested song by her ever since Week 2. Since she revealed her 50 favorite songs last week, it is only fair to give her proper recognition. All songs included here are great although I'm restrained from including her No.1 song "Yakusoku" since, correct me if I'm wrong, it was never played in Love Hina.

Here are my inductions into the Hall of Fame for Week 10:
