ILM POLLS THE 20TH CENTURY'S BEST TRACKS ››› YOUR RESULTS THREAD ‹‹‹

nah Pistols did a lot of great pop stuff but "Anarchy" is the boringest and least of it

Yeah, my favorite BB song hands down.

Worthy placement for the Boys.

wd've voted "God Only Knows" over "Good Vibes"

I have not heard a single Pistols song that I haven't wanted to shut off 15 seconds into it

Alone Again Or and You Set The Scene probably split the Love vote enough so neither will place

xxxxxp

Its just a shame it didn't cause a "theremin craze" where kids were rushing out to buy them.

like I said, I get why they're important and even necessary to the creation of a bunch of music I actually DO like, but I have zero time for them

have you tried "Who Killed Bambi?" Dan? Could be your breakthru moment.

Were any of the top ten recorded near a coal mine? If not, it's fucking bullshit man!!!!!!

You kids don't like the Sex Pistols? What's the matter with you punks?

The Langley Schools version of Good Vibrations is even better.

was never (and still am not) a big beach boys fan, but that release of them just fucking around in the studio with good vibrations is totally riveting

being a punk stopped being punk in 1978 you fule

i really wanted to see 'you set the scene', 'venus in furs' and 'unsatisfied' place.

what about 'respect'? has that got a chance?

Probably earlier. Once it had a name, it was dead. xp

Q: You kids don't like the Sex Pistols? What's the matter with you punks?

A: the thing about The Sex Pistols is that they were a massively important, seminal band that were actually kind of terrible and unlistenable

have you tried "Who Killed Bambi?" Dan? Could be your breakthru moment.

I am listening to it now

okay I made it 51 seconds

I have the knack that the #1 will be something completely irrelevant but innofensive enough that it might have slipped through many ballots unintentionally.

You poseurs probably voted for the commercial, boring mainstream Good Vibrations. Everybody knows that the best version is the Smiley Smile outtake.

xpost haha like More than a Feeling or something? Private Eyes?

20/20 or bust

omg "Private Eyes" as the #1 song of the decade would be the funniest thing ever

have you tried "Who Killed Bambi?" Dan? Could be your breakthru moment.

I am listening to it now

okay I made it 51 seconds

SCIENTIFIC RIGOUR, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

ok here it comes: the fall are gonna sweep the top 8.

I have the knack that the #1 will be something completely irrelevant

are you insinuating something about 'my sharona'

NEW PURITAN

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.

yeah, knack isn't really the right word there. inkling maybe?

The only shoo in I can think of is Be My Baby.

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.

08. TELEVISION "Marquee Moon" (1977) [2,587 points, 22 votes]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlbunmCbTBA

Blöööörgh!

omg too much guitars

Nah seriously tho?

awesome!!!

watch your century/decade conflation, DJP!

marquee moon is dope

I like Gareth out of The Office UK as much as the next guy but come on

the knack will be #1

Moka otm

that's the best track by miles on a helluvan influential record, so yeah more than worthy.

I appreciate the WTFness of this choice however

yes! one of the all time great guitar songs

Marquee Moon could be a dark horse, people.

Why couldn't I have a more marketable gift?

love it, voted for, super depressed to see it place this high

Decent song but wtf???

I ask (silently) for curveballs, I get curveballs.

if you're not part of the solution people

hahaha wow

I didn't vote for it, but it's good

Torn Curtain is better tho

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!!
