So, 'As' is regarded better than 'Another Star'? Hm.

Gotta say, for awhile, this was trending into the top 10.

jam. forgot to vote for it tho. only voted for one song where stevie wasn't the lead voice on it, and i bet i'm the only person to do so (busta's been through the storm).

Why does Eddie get top billing and capitalisation?

That's a surprise.
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 10 October 2011 16:39 (twelve years ago) link
That it placed so low or so high or at all?
― michael assbender (Eric H.), Monday, 10 October 2011 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
So high; I figured most of you would find it too... cheesy?(I really like it BTW, although I didn't think I voted for it.)
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 10 October 2011 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
there's clearly no lack of appreciation for Wonder Cheese in these results, I'd say I hate at least a third of the things that have placed so far

Very, very pleased to see such broad support for that one.

"My Cherie Amour" is not Wonder cheese. It's Wonderful.

Great song! Also the first one of my list to place.

CREEPIN in a BEAST of a song.

If you don't like "Creepin'" you don't like things that are silky and sexy.

If someone doesn't like Creepin, well, I just don't think I'd like that person.

Pleased that WCWIO made it. One of the great Beatles Band covers.

― michael assbender (Eric H.), Monday, 10 October 2011 17:22 (twelve years ago) link
I think I already mentioned this on some thread or another, but I regard the change from "Superwoman" into "Where Were You, et al" to be one of the greatest modulations in his entire songbook.
oof, we're up to #16 already => a whole bunch of tracks I thought would easily make the Top 40 apparently won't.
― Jeff W, Monday, 10 October 2011 17:25 (twelve years ago) link
Superwoman at first seems not that great but with like every second it hypnotises you a little bit more. It becomes such a perfect moment that you kind of zone out.
Kinda worrying my #1 won't make it. It is a p prominant album cut but there are so many big name singles still to come that i dunno...
― Ravaging Rick Rude (a hoy hoy), Monday, 10 October 2011 17:26 (twelve years ago) link
Need to take a lunch break. Remaining 5 in a little bit.
― michael assbender (Eric H.), Monday, 10 October 2011 17:26 (twelve years ago) link
Also, I'll say it again. Some of the songs that fell outside of the top 40, much less top 20, really surprised me.
― michael assbender (Eric H.), Monday, 10 October 2011 17:27 (twelve years ago) link
one song i am intrigued to see its overall ranking is happy birthday. i dont suppose it is anywhere near the top 15 but i kinda thought it would make the top 40
― Ravaging Rick Rude (a hoy hoy), Monday, 10 October 2011 17:29 (twelve years ago) link
The last four songs were all on my ballot so I'm not too worried about the rest of the top 20. I only have big doubts for my number 2.
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 10 October 2011 17:31 (twelve years ago) link
And I think we still have a lot of 60s singles to look forward to.

You serious? 'Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-da-day', 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered', 'If You Really Love Me', 'I Was Made to Love Her'... The list goes on and on.

The bass on that is my first (or maybe second, after "Bernadette") pick for what to play for people who don't know who James Jamerson was, or what he did, or why he was a genius.
