I somewhat reluctantly picked the Stones.
Why reluctantly? It is a fucking brilliant song.
Not in the top 20 Stones songs for me.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Put Vienna on again in the car. What a fucking good song that is. A very respectable 2nd for me after Dancing Queen. I may very possibly may be on the winning side for the first time in 8 weeks.

Maybe not for me either but still a brilliant song.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Nothing really offensive but not one song on the list I’d choose to listen to.

If I was a betting man and could guess which 2 would receive no votes (so far) I'd have gone with Quo but certainly not The Beatles.

To be fair, it's a pretty crappy Beatles song. Paul could reliably come up with some truly inane topics. For every "Eleanor Rigby" and "Yesterday," he'd excrete a "Rita."

One of my favourites off my favourite album of theirs. Yeah the topic is dull I'll give you that but the melody brings a smile to my face.
