Voted! A lot of my stuff ended up being later-period and like, half of From Elvis In Memphis, and a lot of known singles.I should have dug in to his catalog more but I feel like I just needed to vote with my heart. THIS way to fun times:🖼

Once you have the results send em my way and I’ll dot he images and rollout.

Already came across something I had thought about voting for and forgot about when writing up my ballot. Guy’s catalog is just too deep.
― 3-Way Tie (For James Last) (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 02:32 (five years ago) link
Sent my ballot!
Hope I'm not the only one voting for Crawfish, Pocketful of Rainbows and Animal Instinct as they're pretty high on my ballot and deserve a place in his best songs.
Btw, how many songs should the rollout feature? 50? 75? 100?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 04:50 (five years ago) link
i voted for Crawfish!!imo i think 50 is a good rollout?
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 04:58 (five years ago) link
Animal Instinct is so underrated. Almost noone namedrops it when talking Elvis. It doesn't help that it was cut from one of his worst rated movies, Harum Scarum.Hope it makes it because it's awesome and sounds like it should've been a James Bond theme, but in case it doesn't here's for your enjoyment:

imo i think 50 is a good rollout?
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl)
Yay! Yeah I'll probably do 50. It depends if Crawfish is in the top 50 hehe, otherwise I'll start further down the list so it makes it.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 05:00 (five years ago) link
lol stay tuned for a 200 rollout
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 14:48 (five years ago) link
I also voted for Crawfish.

No me neither. Second tier song at best imo.

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 26 July 2018 17:51 (five years ago) link
I didn't vote for it either, but I didn't get a chance to do any serious relistening, so there's a ton of deserving songs missing from my ballot.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 26 July 2018 17:51 (five years ago) link
Yeah, in the end I had um, fish or cut bait and cast a ballot, so my choices are pretty obvious, not a lot of deep cuts.

I feel like I need to say it. Anyone who didn't vote for Change of Habit ain't never caught a rabbit.
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 26 July 2018 18:51 (five years ago) link
Looking forward to the rollout. Just was reminded of some good Elvis trivia I may hit you with at the appropriate moment.
― 3-Way Tie (For James Last) (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 26 July 2018 23:22 (five years ago) link
I only sort of recently got into Elvis, so I still have a lot of blind spots in his discography and I'm sure that skewed my ballot a bit. I know I left off a number of deserving songs and have been second guessing it ever since I hit send.
(But I'm not second guessing my vote for Crawfish!)

Saw the Eugene Jarecki film today (which I had been mixing up with the other Elvis documentary until literally after it was over, when I got some clarification from a friend)--fascinating. The very pointed Trump element is definitely heavy-handed now and again, but not to the extent (for me, at least) that it ruins the film. Chuck D is excellent. Actually, I liked all three viewpoints on the cultural-appropriation question: Chuck D, Van Jones, and David Simon. Still have to see the other film.

ok I'm finally tabulating now, so maybe we can roll out start of next week? dunno if it's standard to stick to Monday through Friday, was thinking it was but I dunno

btw listened to the 68 comeback special today, some days that's my favorite music in the world. those versions of "One Night", it's usually corny to say music sounds elemental, of the earth, but dang if those performances aren't like that, like the earth groaning
