I fully expect for people to rally around SFF as the last votes come in. It would be a righteous final three. I have to say I wouldn't mind if She Loves You wins it outright, that was some energy they caught on tape. And A Day In the Life is also stupendous. But Revolution doesn't belong in that bracket.
I have a preference for Revolution over ADitL (aesthetics and ideology), but taking a step back, I admit that Revolution is the one that doesn't seem like it should belong in the group.

This is a stitch up now. Something to do with killing sacred cows or something.

HiaWG is even more edgy, tho, in terms of proving unconventionality. I've got no problem with with legitimately preferring one song over another, but defying distant Rolling Stone/Uncut editors is a goofy punk rawk teenager rationale.

I trust the board to pull this back in the remaining time we have left.

I threw in my vote (however reluctantly) to Revolution. One more gets a tie and re-run. Surely Crissdong can log in to help …

Yesterday you said you supported that position!

Maybe, just maybe, while SFF is great, not everyone thinks it's the best, and that's not so much an edgelord opinion as a regular opinion?

If you look at that account, you can tell it's someone trolling me.

As a joke! I mean, if these results actually caused a RS editor to have heart palpitations, sure, that'd be cool. But it's just us here, so giving the finger to those phantoms seems as lame as people who say they hate the Beatles because they're revered. Relying on those external cues are weird given that we're all supposed to be guided by individual preference and taste.

yeah, i was joking about the rolling stone thing too yesterday. slightly seriously for a moment, i think it's really lame that the assumption is anyone not voting for SFF is doing it out of some adolescent contrarianism and aren't "guided by individual preference and taste" as you say. I actually find it insulting.
