Acclaimed Music Top 40 Songs from 1991 poll

scenario easy

lol Britshes vs Americans

I can understand voting Unfinished Sympathy or The Choice Is Yours but there is actually correct answer here and it is "Scenario"

I can understand voting Scenario but the correct answer here, and there is one, i... hang on, NO, not going down that route, it'll just end up turning into some version of "Duck Season! No, Wabbit Season! No, Duck Season!" etc. Hehehehe! :P

(...s 'Unfinished Sympathy')

lol

here we go yo
here we go yo
like a soul without a mind
like a body without a heart

it's either To Here Knows When or Good Morning Captain

/character

These are my two likeliest candidates as well. Maybe one of the Nirvana songs could compete.

Not a fan of this list either. Where's the KLF?! Still, a few great tracks though. I'm still undecided between "Unfinished Sympathy" and "Papua New Guinea", both of which are wonderful!

Not gonna vote for it, but I always liked that Bonnie Raitt song, especially the outro.

"Summertime" is so much better than that Billy Bragg or Crowded House songs.

I'm going to go off the beathen path here and vote for "Higher Than the Sun." Mainly for how many times I heard the song while high in 1991.

Nice,thanks.

songs i loved that i don't think i have ever heard before, "1952 Vincent Black Lightning," "I Can't Make You Love Me" and "Papua New Guinea." and the oh yeah moment went to "The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)" as it was, so that the name of that song.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

finally decided to vote for "The Concept." often wondered if that part where it slows down in the middle of the song was a mistake or on purpose.

I have way more affection for Enter Sandman than I probably should...

papua new guinea

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

:D

wow, was not expecting that. <3 ILM

How could you NOT expect this?

Is there anything from Loveless that could have been on the list that *wouldn't* have won?

Not trolling, mind you (i love that album as much as anyone), but I was really expecting something a little more single-y to win, ya know?

i know Loveless is huge as it should be. saw the Loveless tour, two times in three nights in Hollywood back in 1991. i just expected a well known single to take this and not two tracks from My Bloody Valentine. so a pleasant surprise.

or what cryptosicko said.

that's cool that a 1991 richard thompson song got 5 votes

Me, at the beginning of this thread: "Would be hard for me to vote against "Unfinished Sympathy," so I likely won't. The P.M. Dawn and Richard Thompson songs are deserving of more love than they'll prob get though."

The results:

31 2156 Slint - Good Morning Captain 7
8 576 My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow 7
39 2720 Richard Thompson - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning 5
16 777 Geto Boys - Mind Playing Tricks on Me 5

38 2554 Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless) 4
23 1763 P.M. Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss 3
