They’ve had 58 hits (include parts double and triple A sides), so I guess we go from there? Everyone ranks their top 25 from this little lot?

So, however basic a choice of +50 on paper due to its enormous popularity nowadays, it wouldn't have felt right to give top marks to anything else as that personal connection feels incredibly special to me. 'Yesterday' has really blossomed for me over time as well, lovely songwriting there from Paul (...as stunning as those original lyrics are ) and the strings in the production really hook me in too. Speaking of standout strings...'Eleanor Rigby' is an amazing winner one of two Revolver tracks in my top 5 - my favourite album of theirs, just like Jim. Love the immediacy of the intro and the whole product is totally heart-breaking. 'Hey Jude' is a worthy runner-up as well. It does feel like one of their most overplayed but I've somehow never got bored of it. Thanks very much for running this, Julian . has been fun to appreciate my favourite band with many others who also feel passionate about them on the forum x

With Kristina in heart Joined: 28 March 2017 Posts: 4,027 User: 28,104	I wish to have something like Ultimate chart, which UKMix forum had in the past for the acts with a big discographies. They compiled 12 Ultimate charts for Beatles, ABBA, Michael Jackson, Mariah, Janet, Madonna, Kylie, Queen, Bowie, Whitney, Prince, Kate Bush Elvis was missed, because his discography is huge, Blondie and some British groups from 90s didn't get enough supporting in polls. QUOTE Your list has to have a minimum of 20 songs on it and a maximum of 50 songs. With this voting rule they got a nice balance between casual listeners, who mostly voted for main hits and hardcore fans had a chance to vote for low-known songs / personal favourites too. For sample two results threads for Beatles : www.ukmix.org/forum/music-discussion/music-games-survivors/survivors-games-archive/65241-the-ultimate-chart-the-beatles ABBA : www.ukmix.org/forum/music-discussion/music-games-survivors/survivors-games-archive/80750-ultimate-abba-chart This post has been edited by Last Dreamer: Wednesday, 08:41 PM

I’d be really interested in the Stones myself but I’m guessing Blondie would get more participants, as most Buzzjackers are millennials who tend to be not that interested in stuff from before they were born. As for selection criteria, it’s good to make it objective but at the same time you want to make sure the artist’s work is very well represented. One possibility which I considered for The Beatles is singles plus the X most streamed non singles on Spotify.

For ABBA we can do a little more deeper ranking and add (at least) More ABBA Gold compilation. After 78 songs in Beatles ranking, 50 or more songs for ABBA is OK thing. For Blondie rate you must add X-Offender, In The Flash, Rip Her To Shreds, One Way Or Another .... maybe also "I'm Gonna Love You Too" and "11.59".

Mansonette Joined: 3 November 2009 Posts: 7,019 User: 9,872	Obviously, I am up for the Rolling Stones one and I would do a Blondie one. Not sure how Fleetwood Mac would pan out, beyond the obvious (Self titled, Rumours, Mirage, Tusk, Tango), I'm not sure how many people are familiar with the older Peter Green period but I'd be up for it. Can't say I'd be that excited about doing an Abba one, as brilliant as they were, certain acts (like Abba, Queen, Elton John, George Michael, Jacko) have these kind of lists all the time and everybody already knows all the songs pretty much. Things like The Nations Favourite Abba Song have been TV shows before, whereas other brilliant acts like the Rolling Stones, Prince, even U2 never seem to get quite the same amount of attention, yet have brilliant catalogues of songs and deserve to be recognised more.

I’ll set up a poll at the weekend but at the moment it’s looking the options are ABBA Blondie Fleetwood Mac Prince The Rolling Stones U2 And can I throw in the Pet Shop Boys as a suggestion?
