heard part of a Cars rock block yesterday while driving. I caught Moving in Stereo and Good Times Roll. Then I went into a store and when i came out it was Right Now by Van Hagar.

Damn, just heard Fly Like an Eagle into Sledgehammer. That was a buzzkill.

there were 6 more ballots in my inbox when I woke up this morning, good stuff! voting is officially closed, although as I said yesterday, so if you've got a last minute ballot, shoot it over to me ASAP and if i'm not done counting i will accept it. i really have no idea how long it will take me and gr80 to get everything up and running, so we would appreciate your patience. it will definitely be worth the wait.

Ack, didn't sort out a ballot for this in the end. Oh well.

Wishing now I'd voted for Peace of Mind instead of More Than a Feeling. Fuck More Than a Feeling.

Got you covered on this front. "Peace of Mind" has always been my Boston jam. (If I'd voted for a second Boston song, it would have been "Rock n Roll Band.")

emil.y! send one today! even tomorrow should be fine! it's all good!

Edited the thread title to reflect the official status but hopefully anyone who's a serious classic roxor and hasn't submitted the ballot will come here and see your post.

and yes, so stoked that this poll is in yours and gr8080s capable hands.
― how's life, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 11:43 (nine years ago) link
Is it okay if I just send a top ten? I don't have much time to go through stuff but it'd be nice to take part.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 12:04 (nine years ago) link
top 20 minimum. c'mon you can freestyle that in like 2 minutes!
― some dude, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 12:16 (nine years ago) link
my advice would be, think about the songs that you'd be angry to see miss the top 100. because right now, having tabulated more than half the ballots, i still have no idea how this is really gonna end up. a lot of huge songs are not safe at the moment. there are bands with tons of hits that have nothing guaranteed in the top 100 yet.
― some dude, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 12:20 (nine years ago) link
how many ballots do you have?
― how's life, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 12:22 (nine years ago) link
Okay, I scanned my longlist and threw together a top... 26? It's not a particularly interesting ballot but at least I'm throwing some love at a few favourites.

I'm sure you guys have some awesome stuff planned for rollout, but I think a podcast where you do a radio countdown with DJ banter in between songs would be perfection

I'd be willing to chip in to enlist Steven Wright for that.

You've reminded me that K Billy was more of a K-Tel/AM Gold kind of guy--though he does get in a "keep on truckin'", and has an excellent way of saying "The Behemoth."

I heard my four-year-old absent-mindedly singing Abracadrabra to himself as he wandered the floor this morning otherwise doing his four-year-old stuff

Can I still vote on this then? Just got internet set up at the new place.

Shoulda included WAY more Boston on my ballot.
― how's life, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 20:31 (nine years ago) link
I am a big, big fan of foreplay. I mean "Foreplay." Well, yeah.
― some dude, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 20:54 (nine years ago) link
Won't be able to rank the whole thing. Top 20 or 25 maybe.
― a lot of really bad records changed my life (staggerlee), Wednesday, 16 July 2014 20:56 (nine years ago) link
But that's the most difficult part to rank! I've got like twenty viable no.1s up top.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 20:58 (nine years ago) link
The number of points your #25 song is getting is still pretty high, just list 'em and they'll all get a nice boost
