I was a junior in high school when "Rooms On Fire" was released. I still remember the excitement of our local Top 40 station debuting it. The same night they also added it to their "Battle of the New Sounds" contest. They'd play two songs at 9 or 10 pm, then listeners would call in over the course of the next hour and vote on the best one. "Rooms" won for two weeks straight.
