'Svatba' the only thing new to me tho the Morricone, OutKast and Yello were all tracks I'd heard maybe only once or twice years ago before hearing on the playlist.

I really thought 'Deep Water', 'Whitey On The Moon', The Cop' and 'I'm Coming Over' would've placed a lot higher.

Oh Colonel Poo, if only you had voted for another, better, Yummy Fur song maybe one of them would have placed

not sure which song is supposed to be better, but if we all voted the same Yummy Fur song they would have come in at #94

Colonel Poo, Saturday, 13 April 2019 22:38 (five years ago) link

i like that your ballot has so many Minor Threat songs paolo. glad "Straight Edge" placed, wish "Out of Step" had too

Dan S, Saturday, 13 April 2019 23:30 (five years ago) link

not sure which song is supposed to be better

I have many opinions about this! I made a playlist - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1fmqf9vwPImj7O4D7FRmaUz98CsqCTXF - basically the other six songs.

but if we all voted the same Yummy Fur song they would have come in at #94

My ideal was more like all of them placing, but Policeman was the one I didn't vote for.

Anyway, sorry, I'll shut up now.
