How high did you rank "Jazzman", Graft?

super stoked for the solo tracks rollout.

xp I like jazzman. I like Palmer and the song Dirty Work to be honest. It just bothers me on the album, and it'd be a small personal tragedy if it makes top 10.

super stoked for the Stones Dirty Work poll

lol I love and voted for "dirty work" but it has no chance in hell of making the top 10, you can chill already

What is Jazzman, like Seals & Crofts? Man, this thread is like delirious with anticipation!

i believe in dirty work for top 10. we can do it.

Jazzman. One of those songs you hear, and you're Ohhhh, that Jazzman.

Palmer wrote the lyrics.

Oh yeah, thanks-I was thinking of "Summer Breeze" which I always thought went, "blowin' through the jazzman in my mind"

thanks

fist, i want to say that i'm not sure how i missed some lyrics ballots, pretty sure that it really was only a couple. i can say that after tabulating all these ballots it sounds like i slipped a little bit. i'm almost 100% sure everything else is accurate.

second, i looked at a bunch of other polls and it seemed liked this one was the record. i thought i heard that Led Zeppelin had the most and therefore this poll was ahead of that one. i did look at the David Bowie poll but couldn't find the numbers.

While we're talking about misheard lyrics I've always thought "Well I never thought the girl could be so crueeeel" was actually "so ruuuuuuude" and I pretty much like my version better so take that SD

speaking of, i started to edit the lyrics but ran out of time. so as some others have explained their mistakes were transferred over.

starting with the solo stuff

I think the Bowie poll beat the Pavement one, but I forget the numbers
