My favorite thing about this poll is that I know some of the songs are right in the wheelhouse of some of our members.  Knowing that, I figured any song could win.  I don't expect Duran Duran to make it past the Femmes.  And I certainly didn't expect the Stray Cats and Flock of Birdshit to both go down to defeat.  But that's what makes these things interesting to me, how you guys decide them  :bd:


The 1/5






The 6/7



And the One Song to Rule Them All is Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones

That 6-7 matchup sucks.  It's a pair of songs that objectively sucked, but everyone 'loves' only because they were part of the hazy nostalgia era of MTV when they only had 200-odd videos to choose from and had to loop the few they had.

Not exactly disproving my grump comment.

Madness has some good songs ( https://youtu.be/nLE13tPs0K0  ) but Our House isn't one of them.

Now if I only could get Blister in the Sun out of my head ...

weren't all these songs in movies? the ones that make me cringe the least are Blister in the sun and melt with you, so..there you go.
