I have the knack that the #1 will be something completely irrelevant
are you insinuating something about 'my sharona'

I have the knack that the #1 will be something completely irrelevant but innofensive enough that it might have slipped through many ballots unintentionally.
"Yakety Sax" for the win! (Seriously, it'd be awesome if that was #1.)

Think it'll be Le Freak, but really haven't a fog what's coming up.

I don't get #8. I mean I get it, but I don't get why it's so revered. XPLAIN IT TO ME VOTERS.

I've tried for nigh on 20 years to break into Marquee Moon (and Adventure, and had the most success with the s/t 1992 album), but I still find Television to be absolutely snoozable. And I love guitars!!
― Señor Mexico (Johnny Fever), Friday, 3 December 2010 20:11 (thirteen years ago) link
hurrah for television!
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 3 December 2010 20:11 (thirteen years ago) link

I think this spot for Marquee Moon is a bit too high... to say the least.

Were Sebadoh nominated?
― seandalai, Friday, 3 December 2010 20:14 (thirteen years ago) link
but maybe Black Sabbath were negatively affected by split voting.
― Moka, Friday, 3 December 2010 20:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Algerian Goalie, I gave big votes to a couple of Sabbath tracks but I think I was just pissing in the wind.
