I'm A Genius, Too! (Jamie_ATP), Wednesday, 29 June 2011 15:09 (twelve years ago) link

Raindrops was mine, surprised noöne else voted for it. I also voted for Repeat. Apart from them, everything else made the fifty.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 29 June 2011 15:13 (twelve years ago) link

my fallen soldiers:

8. Methadone Pretty
11. New Art Riot
12. Love's Sweet Exile
14. Teenage 20/20
16. Condemned To Rock 'N' Roll
19. Born To End

looks like i was the only person to vote for 4 of these (love's sweet exile??) but then i did have all of the top 3 in my top 5 so i can't complain.

Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 29 June 2011 15:20 (twelve years ago) link

So just me voting for 4Ever Delayed then. Other non-placers: William's Last Words, Comfort Comes, Solitude Sometimes Is.

Strictly vote-splitting (DL), Wednesday, 29 June 2011 15:24 (twelve years ago) link

And thanks Jamie. That was fun. More fun even than The Intense Humming of Evil.

Strictly vote-splitting (DL), Wednesday, 29 June 2011 15:25 (twelve years ago) link

Thanks! This was a fun poll with a ton of Youtube material to check out after the fact.

Mine that didn't place:

6 You're Tender and You're Tired
11 Horses Under Starlight
12 Tsunami
16 Nat West-Barclays-Midlands-Lloyds
17 Repeat (UK)

Did any other Americans vote in this? I gotta admit a lack of familiarity with a whole lot of B-sides (which is not totally surprising, considering).

Cheers Jamie!

My sole non-placer: 72. Natwest Barclays Midlands Lloyds [2 votes, 28 points]. Everything in the top seven was in my top seven but I had first and second place swapped.

ledge, Wednesday, 29 June 2011 15:54 (twelve years ago) link

Really wish Horses Under Starlight had placed. love it.

I'm A Genius, Too! (Jamie_ATP), Wednesday, 29 June 2011 15:55 (twelve years ago) link

I didn't vote, but I'd have stuck Raindrops pretty high

(Motorcycle Emptiness) feels like being a teenager again.

Yus indeed - Can't listen to it without being transported back to Hatfield Forum indie night.

la tristessa demerera (dog latin), Wednesday, 29 June 2011 16:20 (twelve years ago) link

yay, someone else voted for "Never Want Again"!

You Post on ILX (Simon H.), Wednesday, 29 June 2011 16:56 (twelve years ago) link

Am I the lone Yank? It can't be. Glad to see 1985 get love. I was already overloading my ballot with Lifeblood!
Intended to vote Raindrops but got distracted by Umbrella.
Big thanks to Jamie!!

Morley Timmons, Wednesday, 29 June 2011 17:04 (twelve years ago) link
