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

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.

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.

Polls been great, only a couple of songs I haven't liked actually, but if Sabbath don't make it, then i'd find it very bizarre.

come on, more surprises. surprises are the only way to keep this top 10 business interesting.

sad that "Chameleon" apparently didn't make the list

xp - I might have voted for Spoiled...no wait, I wouldn't have.

NV id totally vote in that poll

okay, wait, i lied. i cut it "marquee moon" the last minute in favor of "see no evil", then cut that too. thank god, and fuck you all for not voting "youth of america" instead. THAT i would love to have seen finish at #8.

would like to think this poll had another flamingos or althea & donna in it...

and i spent a bunch of points on the boriginal and it probably finished at like 524 or something

AG you'd probably be depressed when ILM makes the cocteau twins sweep that poll's top 10

Barclay James Harvest, Are They Better Than Irving Berlin? 5 new answers

there's probably some obscure artsy postpunk band called Lishbone Mash that will sweep it

Which Sabbath song might have garnered the most votes tho? 'Supernaut'? 'Paranoid'? I find it strange they haven't appeared at all in the top 100 so far. Always think of them as one of ILM's token bands.

if 'paranoid' is the sabbath song that pops up now, then i hope sabbath don't appear at all. that's like the sabbath song for non-sabbath fans.

My first time hearing 'Marquee Moon'. It was alright.

it was my number 7, thought it fitting :(

i nommed 'into the void' and by rights, that's the tune that should've garnered the most points. 'supernaut' is more than acceptable though.

07. MICHAEL JACKSON "Billie Jean" (1982) [2,604 points, 24 votes, 1 first place vote]

(I chose this version specifically because I never tire of hearing the audience lose their shit when the moonwalk comes.)

Shame that Fishbone/Clash collaboration never materialised.
