Yeah, the oldies are boring picks but pretty unimpeachable

ebro the letter (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:32 (seven years ago)

A full third of voters voted that!

Holy shit, you have!!!

The oldies as opposed to songs from 1984 and 1992.

dorsalstop, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:33 (seven years ago)

Beatlesband shut out is… interesting.

Voting Beatles is like voting water "best drink."

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:36 (seven years ago)

KM, we are ready!

lefal junglist platton (wtev), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:36 (seven years ago)

To be fair I think the solo Lennon and McCartney songs that placed are better than the eligible Beatles songs.

Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:37 (seven years ago)

best Beatles tracks nominated were from side 2 of abbey road, and shouldn't count as they are part of a suite

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:37 (seven years ago)

"Outdoor Miner" is probably #1?

most thirst-quenching drink, come on!

save us, Karl Malone!

Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:38 (seven years ago)

Who needs Lennon and McCartney when Robert Pollard can sing like both of them *at the same time*?

these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:39 (seven years ago)

I should have voted. By the sounds, if I had Trompe Le Monde might have placed.

Zurich Is Stained would have been much higher.

kraudive, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:39 (seven years ago)

xp my #1

Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:40 (seven years ago)

What?? No!

alrakis morissette (tangenttangent), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:40 (seven years ago)

Excellent.

dorsalstop, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:40 (seven years ago)

COME ON, PASTELS/TENNISCOURTS #1!!!

Audrey Tautoulogy (Leee), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:40 (seven years ago)

Hmmmm. . .

The immortal Hydra Viridisimma (outdoor_miner), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:41 (seven years ago)

Not that I don’t like YMG, but that means something huge got totally missed!

alrakis morissette (tangenttangent), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:41 (seven years ago)

Little miracle of a song.

jmm, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:41 (seven years ago)

YMG also my #2 (although did a Clemenza ballot for points distribution)

Jeff W, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:41 (seven years ago)

"Final Day" is perfect in every way, mysterious and evocative. first heard it on the amazing "gateway drug" Rough Trade compilation Wanna Buy A Bridge and it was one of the first things I owned on both vinyl and CD.

Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:41 (seven years ago)

God I love that comp

The immortal Hydra Viridisimma (outdoor_miner), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:42 (seven years ago)

No “Sheena Is a Punk Rocker,” no credibility

ebro the letter (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:42 (seven years ago)

Chums, we're wasting time chatting when we could be coming up with hilarious fake #1s.

Audrey Tautoulogy (Leee), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:43 (seven years ago)

I'm sure KM has something ready

Jeff W, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:44 (seven years ago)

There's two songs left that I absolutely can't imagine missing out, is the thing! I think the fake placement has already happened. Maybe it was the Smiths

imago, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:44 (seven years ago)

Sheena too long, iirc

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:44 (seven years ago)

Sheena is almost 3 minutes long

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:45 (seven years ago)

i guess 'my year in lists' isn't showing up :(

devvvine, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:45 (seven years ago)

Can’t believe Cretin Hop didn’t make it.

Chris L, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:46 (seven years ago)

I regret not voting for "My Little Rooster."

billstevejim, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:46 (seven years ago)

was that your number 1 whiney?

Oops, I think I meant Judy Is a Punk, so, yes credibility

xpost 1:05 with a 20 second intro!

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:49 (seven years ago)

never heard young marble giants and after one listen I don't know why its up here. it doesn't go anywhere? sounds like an intro and I'm left waiting for something to happen. is that the point?

but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:49 (seven years ago)

Cooooooome on Baby Shark!

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:49 (seven years ago)

My no.1!

lefal junglist platton (wtev), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:50 (seven years ago)

idrg the ymg song either but hey, i don't write the rules

imago, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:50 (seven years ago)

Not my fave YMG, but yeah, it's short.

no i don't think so, but i think we're missing the point

lefal junglist platton (wtev), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:51 (seven years ago)

i had never heard that YMG song before today!
it's slight but charming? doesn't deliver the <2 min power slap i was hoping for in a #2

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:52 (seven years ago)

and i don't know what the point is

lefal junglist platton (wtev), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:52 (seven years ago)

imo it's fully formed and there isn't a wasted note, verse, chorus, tiny solo, verse, chorus, stop

"Another Green World" on the other hand...
