Wednesday Poll #2 Best Song Ever...

[BitterTom]

...On the work's playlist. This week had some classics on, better than previous week. My vote has to be with one of my favourite 80s records, Everybody Wants To Rule The World. Fantastic number.

[Heston]

The Verve all the way, totally iconic song. Chuck bringing up the rear.

[Low Down Low]

Was between chuck and van, good old school rock, the former just by a nose. Would have voted tff if it was Sowing the seeds.

You're just baiting us here.

"Everybody Wants …" is one of those songs that seems to capture some sort of essence of 80s pop (mostly in a good way), but "Johnny B. Goode" is foundational music and still swings like a motherfucker.

Honourable mention to "Jamming" and "These Boots …". "Bittersweet Symphony" is miserablist, mopey, self-cutting music that is used by CIA torture agents who find waterboarding ineffective.

Hello,

This is the list - Johnny B. Goode and a couple of other songs.

I’ll co-sign this.

Oh wait. Johnny B. Goode was recorded before 1964 so Heston doesn’t know it exists.

Nancy... and not even close.

I might go berserk if Simply Red win.

I'm trying to believe in the best scenario for your words.

Some great songs mixed with two god awful songs: BSS and Tears for Fears. I barely remember Simply Red. Wasn’t it some 80s soft rock with a fire crotch lead singer?

I agree with this post.

Yup. The only cool thing about Mick Hucknall was that he was at the legendary Pistols show in Manchester along with future members of Joy Division, Mark E. Smith, and Morrissey. He loses all those cool points, tho, for making shitty white soul music.

Tough call (and yeah, Chuck's the obvious choice) but I co-sign w/ Heston.

Wait—how can CB be the obvious choice, but you're agreeing with the guy who has him last? His pick is awful for more than one reason (which, I guess, kudos for the efficiency).

I worded it wrong saying "bringing up the rear", I meant Chuck in second place.
