1970s Top 40 Rate - Tiebreaker

 

It had to happen at some point - there's a tie for first place in the Number 32s rate, and the tied tracks are:

 

Natalie Cole - This Will Be

Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

James Brown - Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine

 

Now, we need to decide which of these is most deserving to join the final reshuffle. To decide, please order the above three as follows:

 

+3

+2

+1

 

As soon as all six loyal voters have decided (although if anyone else wishes to participate, feel free), the winner will be announced.

 

 

I'll start things off:

 

+3 Natalie Cole - This Will Be

+2 James Brown - Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine

+1 Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

And just to upset things, I'll do the exact reverse and set them all equal again

 

+03 Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

+02 James Brown - Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine

+01 Natalie Cole - This Will Be

 

and just to put them back I'm copying AH.. :lol:

 

 

+3 Natalie Cole - This Will Be

+2 James Brown - Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine

+1 Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

+03 Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

+02 James Brown - Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine

+01 Natalie Cole - This Will Be

 

 

 

Richie had it the right way around

This is SO going to be an unresolved tiebreak situation....! :P

 

(between Natalie Cole and James Brown, predicting the final set of Leonardo votes, so another vote-off will mean 3-3 each if no-one changes vote-patterns)

 

It was marginal for me between Natalie and James, so I'll prob switch to break the deadlock...

 

probably :P

 

+3 Natalie Cole - This Will Be

+2 James Brown - Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine

+1 Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

+3 Natalie Cole - This Will Be

+2 Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

+1 James Brown - Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine

yay, Dandy, that throws that theory out and now I can't predict anything :lol:

My 70s knowledge is so strongly influenced by my parents... Carly Simon, Roberta Flack, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, T-Rex, Natalie Cole, Stevie Wonder all likely to score well from me!

what can I say, your parents 70's music taste is immaculate! :yahoo:

+3 James Brown - Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine

+2 Natalie Cole - This Will Be

+1 Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

 

 

 

I'm happy with Natalie taking this one, even though I think Brown's is probably more iconic, "This Will Be" is still a classic IMHO.

I'd never heard the Natalie Cole tune so just listened on Youtube. It's the weakest of the three there by far but it's kinda nice.

Thanks everyone. We now have a winner:

 

2. James Brown - Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine 34

3. Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais 32

 

1. Natalie Cole - This Will Be 36
