Welcome to the week 7 poll! It was too difficult to narrow the best nominees down to 10 so you have a larger selection than usual.

 

Results from Week 6:

 

With 12 votes the favourite #2 was Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas

 

Joint with 7 votes at the time of writing the joint least favourite are You Might Just See Me Cry - Our Kid and Ain't Gonna Bump No More - Joe Tex. I'm not minded to run a tie-breaker so they can share the honour. :)

I love almost every song from that first list so just slimmed it down to my absolute favourite, 'Vienna'.

 

'Stars On 45 (Volume 2)' for worst

Best:

ABBA

Elvis Costello

Lipps Inc.

Phil

Ultravox

Laurie

 

Worst:

Kate Robbins

Stars Volume 2

Voted for 3 classics (Elvis Costello, Lipps Inc. and Ultravox) + 3 excellent songs that were new(ish) to me (Adam And The Ants, The Police and Laurie Anderson).

 

Stars On 45 part 2 for the worst, I didn't think part 1 was thaaaat bad but that one sounded so cheap and the transitions just didn't work at all. Although where's the option to write in Adam Faith again?

Staying with my "voting only for those I paid full price for when they came out" policy to avoid voting for them all. So abba, Lennon n police.

 

As usual I like/ love most of the worst options bar one. So Paul mccrtneys cousin Kate it is then....

Grateful for the expanded list as I have six all time favourites - Pop Muzik, Funky Town, In The Air Tonight, Vienna, Kids in America, O Superman - and I'll give my last one to Invisible Sun for being beyond anything I expected from the Police, lovely stuff all around on that list though The Birdie Song is understandably too iconic to feature there B-)

 

Easy choice of Stars on 45 Vol. 2 for worst, could've voted for the other one too as they were both soulless but that one was particularly shoddily made.

I voted for Up The Junction, Funky Town, In The Air Tonight, Vienna, Invisible Sun and O Superman.

 

For the worst, With You I'm Born Again and Stars On 45 Volume 2.

Best : Dreaming

Worst : O Superman

 

"More Than In Love" was # 1 in my chart. :wub:

That Roxy Music track isn’t that bad is it? Assuming it’s what I think it is anyway

That Roxy Music track isn’t that bad is it? Assuming it’s what I think it is anyway

 

Oh I actually meant to put “Some Girls” by Racey as the first choice, not that oops!

 

Ah well doubt that would have been in contention anyway.

Tried to be disciplined and only vote for my absolute favourites, but ended up with 6: Oliver's Army, Dreaming, Funky Town, Upside Down, Kids In America, O Superman

 

I was expecting to vote Racey - Some Girls as the worst - of the options here, I've gone for With You I'm Born Again (I find the Stars On 45s daft rather than objectionable)

 

Shout out to Sparks for winning the tiebreak for best #2 in Week 5

Best: Squeeze, Lipps Inc, Phil Collins, Ultravox, Laurie Anderson

Worst: Billy Preston, Kate Robbins
