May 29, 20241 yr I’d be very happy to run a Stones rate if that’s OK. 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? Almost Hear You Sigh Angie Angry Anybody Seen My Baby Biggest Mistake Bitch Brown Sugar Come On Dandelion Don’t Stop Doom and Gloom Emotional Rescue Fool to Cry Get Off of My Cloud Going to a Go Go Harlem Shuffle Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby Highwire Honky Tonk Women (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction I Go Wild It’s All Over Now It’s Only Rock and Roll I Wanna Be Your Man Jumpin’ Jack Flash The Last Time Let It Rock Let’s Spend the Night Together Like a Rolling Stone Little Red Rooster Living in a Ghost Town Love Is Strong Miss You Mixed Emotions Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown Not Fade Away Out of Control Out of Tears Out of Time Paint It Black Rain Fall Down Respectable Ruby Tuesday Rock and a Hard Place Rough Justice Saint of Me She’s So Cold She Was Hot Start Me Up Street Fighting Man Streets of Love Sympathy for the Devil Time Is On My Side Tumbling Dice Undercover of the Night Waiting On a Friend We Love You You Got Me Rocking
May 29, 20241 yr I'm largely a psychedelic Beatles fan but have such a soft spot for 'Here Comes The Sun', it soothes me like no other song can. 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 :kink:) and the strings in the production really hook me in too. Speaking of standout strings...'Eleanor Rigby' is an amazing winner :wub: 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
May 29, 20241 yr Great idea! ABBA have 31 hit songs to choose from… Angel Eyes Chiquitita Dancing Queen The Day Before You Came Does Your Mother Know Don’t Shut Me Down Gimme Gimme Gimme Fernando Head Over Heels I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do I Have a Dream I Still Have Faith in You Just a Notion Knowing Me, Knowing You Lay All Your Love On Me Little Things Mamma Mia Money, Money, Money Name of the Game One of Us Ring Ring SOS Summer Night City Super Trouper Take a Chance On Me Thank You for the Music Under Attack Voulez-Vous Waterloo When You Danced with Me The Winner Takes It All …and Blondie have 17. Atomic Call Me Denis Dreaming Good Boys Hanging on the Telephone Heart of Glass I’m Always Touched by Your Presence, Dear Island of Lost Souls Maria Nothing Is Real But the Girl Picture This Rapture Sunday Girl The Tide Is High Union City Blue War Child Do you want me to set up a poll between the Stones, ABBA and Blondie to see who goes next?
May 29, 20241 yr very pleased to see Eleanor Rigby #1 here and Here Comes The Sun at #3. not so fond of Hey Jude but there we go. thanks for running this so well. -- the Rolling Stones rates ought to have their most popular album tracks too (Beast of Burden, Gimme Shelter, Wild Horses, You Can't Always Get What You Want, She's a Rainbow to name some that are more popular than at least half of that list)
May 29, 20241 yr 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. 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 Edited May 29, 20241 yr by Last Dreamer

May 30, 20241 yr Author A poll could be worth doing. There was a 2021 ABBA rate so maybe too soon to do another. 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.

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. 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". Edited May 30, 20241 yr by Last Dreamer
May 30, 20241 yr What about Fleetwood Mac? Btw I’d probably vote for the Stones out of those already mentioned. ABBA would be fine but I do think we’ve already done things that are ABBA based. I’d participate in a Blondie one also though
May 30, 20241 yr I will join to Fleetwood Mac rate/ranking, if will like the rules/songs selection. Edited May 30, 20241 yr by Last Dreamer
May 30, 20241 yr 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.

May 30, 20241 yr How about we limit it to hit songs (top 75) but each voter gets to nominate one wild card song before the start of the rate that wasn’t a hit? 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? :) Edited May 30, 20241 yr by chartjack2
May 30, 20241 yr Although I just found out that peaked at #86! Outrageous! That would be my wildcard I think :)
May 30, 20241 yr I sort of followed this. I'm glad Eleanor Rigby won and A Day In The Life came top 10, they'd be in my top 3. I did attempt to start voting, I just don't care for anywhere near enough of their songs to have ranked 50 of them.
