Is it possible "Smoke on the Water" didn't chart? Seems likely at this point.

prefer 'jailbreak' but 'boys are back in town' is one of the few songs in the top 20 that really belongs there
― een, Friday, 1 August 2014 18:33 (nine years ago) link
Oh, right. Well, a top 10 that is 40 percent Heart and BOC is ok with me.

I think I might've said this on the nominations thread, but when I was a kid Phil's voice on the verses always reminded me of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I still love to picture Arnold partying down at Dino's

Well, we think you've got an idea of what the top 2 is going to be. But let's get it all out there. I was rooting all along for it to take #1, but in the end the gap in points was far too big to overcome. This one's for emil.y.
