In 1981, Pazz & Jop Voters had a tie for the best single. It is up to us, the ILM collective, to break this tie between "O Superman" and "Start Me Up" once and for all

I'm not surprised at the result either, as wrong as it is. I appreciate 'O Superman' as a piece of art, but morrisp hit the nail on the head. 'Start Me Up' retains its potency for me as an essential slab of classic rock after hundreds of plays. I've heard 'O Superman' in full perhaps a fraction of that and I don't need to hear it again. You can always count on ILM to vote for the artiest choice, though, lest their music snob friends make fun of 'em for listening to and liking something that rawks.

And yet among all the snobby posts in this thread, that was possibly the snobbiest.

Contrarian, heal thyself.

I'm way more into the wheels of steel, that track still jacks me up
