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

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]

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!!

hurrah for television!

Oh come on. Torn Curtain? Barf out.

also you fuckers voted for that and not the boredoms? gahhh

haha Torn Curtain is so the best track. yeah only I think that

Van der Graaf Generator still in with a shout of a top 5 place then.

btw black sabbath,deep purple ,iron maiden,ac/dc,metallica & guns n roses aren't going to chart now, are they?

OK now I think it'll be

God Only Knows
I Feel Good
Be My Baby
I Feel Love
Satisfaction
Billie Jean
In My Life

looking forward to The Enid at number 1

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

Van der Graaf Generator still in with a shout of a top 5 place then.

the total number of points I gave VdGG is quite funny

narrowly beating out Wishbone Ash

Hah sorry didn't meant to use the word 'knack'... no idea what actual word I was looking for.

Black Sabbath is definitely placing

daavid I like your list now!

@Algerian Goalkeeper: There are more than six places left!

xpost Brilliant song. Totally shocked to see it so high but it does deserve it.

omg i want to vote for wishbone ash in something, anything

i'm beginning to worry that sebadoh aren't gonna be on this list at all

massive lol

Were Sebadoh nominated?

but maybe Black Sabbath were negatively affected by split voting.

Algerian Goalie, I gave big votes to a couple of Sabbath tracks but I think I was just pissing in the wind.

xxxxxpost

Will start a best bands of the 20th century that rhyme with Gishbone Bash poll next week.
