Only in a year which only had two songs released.

Jeez, listening to Fingers Finchams selection on Golden Hour this week, made me think of this thread..... Rolling Stones always seems to get appreciation on here, ruddy old timer music! :D

I had to put some hip-hop on to cleanse my system after that!

All Rolling Stones songs are shite - god knows why people like them. Its like Paul Weller always getting nominated for the Brits - is it for his stupid hair?

Any credit he got for that was immediately wiped out by the fact that he used the phrase 'my bad'.

I hate to agree, being such a huge admirer of Weller and The Jam - but really, everything he did after the Style Council's first album has been unmitigated pap. Yet he still seems to be getting recognition for something. I just can't tell what.

Poll is up, as well as putting Dusty as Duck's choice I also put Louis Armstrong as foots' choice because even though Ben picked it first, doubles were ruled against.

I forgot to pick one this week, however Gaspode went for the one I would have picked so I vote Joe *'s excellent & far superior version of "With a little help from my friends" :D

Well, given that you shouldn't vote for your own choice, I voted for DevilsDuck's!

People voting for Delilah need to have a word with themselves - there is at least 5 better songs up there. Not Hey Jude though... never Hey Jude.

Its not which song you love - personally I love Happiness is Eggshaped by The Seahorses but it clearly wouldn't be the best song of the year it was released.

charlalottie wrote:Yes I do. I don't you have much of a case when you often hold up B*witched as one of the best examples of music there ever was.

I like B*witched. But on topic to this argument i believe hey Jude is the best song otherwise i wouldn't have picked it and also it is justified as being called the best song of 1968 as it was the biggest selling single of this year.

There you go again with making up rules that don't exist.

No, that was one of the original ones that John kept. And John is in charge. All hail John.

Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog wrote:So you genuinely believe Delilah is better than Son of a Preacher Man?

That song is awful.

Yudster wrote:No, that was one of the original ones that John kept. And John is in charge. All hail John.

John22 wrote:3. Later in the week (normally Thursday) all the songs, along with their artists and players who chose them will be put into a poll at the top of the thread. The poll will close on Sunday evening and the winner is the player who's song has the most voted. Voting for your own entry is strongly discouraged, but not unallowed.

Tbh those rules should be void due to that awful grammatical error

I went for Zoot's choice because we went through a phase of singing it at school and it reminds me of that time.
