Wednesday Poll #3 Best Song Ever...

[BitterTom]

...On the work's playlist.

Some good some bad this week, mostly bad. AC/DC and ABBA get some praise from me. Wonderwall is ok but massively overplayed and overrated. The Katy Perry song is shite.

Vote has to go with Elbow, a fantastic song with a beautiful booming chorus, ticks all the boxes for me.

[Silent Majority]

Back in Black!

[Low Down Low]

Got to back in black and looked no further. Total beast of a song.

[Heston]

Meat Loaf edge out AC/DC and ABBA for me.

It's no Dead Ringer For Love.

[Dr. Medulla]

Easily "Back in Black," with honourable mention to "Walking on Sunshine" (a song I didn't really like when it was released, but its stupid joyfulness has grown on me).

Anybody who picks "Wonderwall" better have the guts to admit it and accept the rotten fruit and vegetables from their peers.

[JoseUnidos]

Hands down for me it's "Back in Black"

[BitterTom]

Results fairly conclusive already this week. It is a banger to be fair.

[matedog]

Probably the weakest set yet, but BiB is stupendous.

[Heston]

Hands down for me it's "Back in Black"

Not enough Ellen Foley.

[JennyB]

Back in Black. Not only is it a great song, but it's tune was one of my parodies for the guy to the left: "Wacky Mack, he sends a fax. Tells all the dogs to eat their snacks."

[Heston]

Wonderwall is incredibly shit for the reputation it has. Dreary, meaningless, out of key singing, it ticks all the wrong boxes.

It's got a catchy chorus, like a lot of their stuff. And the lyrics are deceptively shallow. So it seems like it's deep and meaningful, but in reality isn't. It's an impressive talent.

Interestingly, I remember hearing Champagne Supernova way more on the modern rock radio in 96 or whenever than Wonderwall. WW charted a lot higher, so it's probably a misconception, but I certainly remember thinking CS was a bigger song. Don't get me wrong, CS is also vapid, but kinda catchy.

CS is the sort of song 16 year old me thought was incredibly deep and poetry at its finest.

Isn't that most of Oasis' more successful songs?
