I think there may be a few errors in the voting, people seem to be forgetting to put You're So Vain at the top of their lists :unsure:

 

I think there may be a few errors in the voting, people seem to be forgetting to put You're So Vain at the top of their lists :unsure:

 

I think you need to add another 20 songs to your list to get it another 20 points, just take a few nobody's given any points to unfairly, or just 2 from everyone's top 10 that arent in your list (yet). Everything in your list deserves another 20 points too :cheer:

 

Ooh that sounds like chart rigging now :lol: (would be fairer though as everyone else has done a 50)

I think there may be a few errors in the voting, people seem to be forgetting to put You're So Vain at the top of their lists :unsure:

I felt a bit mean putting it 2nd but then... Life On Mars? is among my favourite Bowie songs

I thought we all agreed to put it at no.36?

 

I wasn't going to do a top 50 but then I realised my favourites would all get 20 points less than others so I bolstered it.
