QUOTE(Jade @ Nov 15 2015, 05:31 PM) John & Yoko relegated to disc 3? Oh hell no. (That is my favourite if you hadn't guessed x) Cliff's nowhere to be seen. I have the last edition and disc 1 is always the best. |

Because as usual you have claimed that if something by a male/indie/rock/otherwise artist doesn't get adequate recognition on this site, that it's because the user base likes their female/pop and that's the reason they've not shown it the appreciation it deserves. That is not reading between the lines, that's exactly what your comment reads as. |

That is not reading between the lines, that's exactly what your comment reads as. Exactly as I said is right. Isn't it true though? Why does it annoy you when I said it in a non negative way - it's not just his site it's most people interested in the NOW series and that's why The Pogues weren't getting as much recognition. I know it's been overplayed but FONY is generally in all the mainstream public top 10s and I was making the statement in relation to Leona having most votes for a 2/3 year old hit which can't really be called a Christmas classic just yet(although I really like the track and think eventually it will be a classic). No offence was meant whatsoever so let's just move on. |

It annoys me personally because every time you do it and I've submitted votes for these kinds of things, it's like you categorise everybody who has participated it as if to say "oh, they all only like pop music so that's why X or Y hasn't fared well here", and that leads to me almost feeling like I have to justify myself and point out that isn't the case for me. |

I apologise to you then but I didn't mean it in that way, I was thinking in my marketing chart music way. I will make an effort not to do it again in future.

I assumed you could only vote for 1 track on each CD oops!
Great to see another In Dulci Jubilo fan here, it's my personal favourite Christmas song. The other 2 I voted were Stop The Cavalry & Never Do A Tango With An Eskimo (an ESSENTIAL listen to anyone who doesn't know it). |

That and In Dulci Jubilo which is definitely medieval in origin but I think the version Mike Oldfield did was popularised by Bach.
Good to see Mike back on the Now album, I think he was missing for a long time. Why people still want to hear the Pogues and Mariah Carey is beyond me. Not sure why Slade seem to have lost a lot of popularity in recent years. Not sure why Band Aid is also relegated to disc 3 but at least it's the original version. |

That Now vote is quite funny isn't it? Over 500 tweets each for Leona Lewis and Mariah Carey and then practically no tweets for anyone else.
EDIT - ah, you can vote multiple times from the same account...which is what is happening with one LL and one MC fan. This post has been edited by richie: 16th November 2015, 12:22 PM |

Isn't the poll "vote for your favourite Xmas song" rather than "vote for which you think is more of a classic"? |

Quite surprised to see John & Yoko tying with Leona in the above poll.
