LJ Poll: Simply the best

[jawnbc]

So what’s the best of the best? Or at least the most popular? And how about them there one-hit wonders? Let me know what you think?

And Happy Independence Day to the land of my birth, the United States of America. The People are not The State!!!

[Poll #525862]

Of course it’s subjective. Objectivity is a myth. Embrace inequity!!!!

NO WAY!!!

I can't believe I missed that poll... =(

Take On Me (the A-ha version) is no the best one hit wonder - it's the best pop song EVER.

[jeneration.livejournal.com]

How come the following songs were not listed??

Always on my mind - Pet Shop Boys
Better Man - Robbie Williams
Better the devil you know - Kylie
Dancing in the dark - Bruce Springsteen

How come Barbara Streisand was listed in any Best Of list? Why couldn't we leave her out?

And Natalie Imbruglia is NOT a one-hit wonder ;)

Even though it is all subjective...

I forced myself to limit to 4 each and there were some tough decisions.

But I purposely left out "better the devil" to see who it riled up (and put Spinning Around in, as an homage to kylie's bum)

I'm an old skool Bruuuuuce fant, and while Dancing in the Dark was a huge hit, I think it's not typical of anything else he did.

Streisand can be annoying, but when she gets the right song it's so clear how brilliant a musician she is--her personality aside. Something I didn't get until "somewhere" came out.

Natalie was a 1 hit wonder--sadly. But there's time still!

I liked Music too, but she's done so many something had to go. I tried to pick something early, a couple from when she ruled the airwaves and 1 later (hence Ray of Light).

Not my fav PSB track. Noice, but not a fave.

Most 1 hit wonders had a follow-up that squeaked into the top 10 or top 20. Usually a song hardly anyone remembers.

Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities

The fucked up thing is I think I spent a bit of time pondering over each song. *hides her head in shame*

Oh you filthy bitch from hell! You labelled Sinead as a one-hit wonder? ARGH!!!

Still love ya, but ARGH!!!

[jawnbc]

I Know the full body of her work. But she's only had 1 pop hit heard 'round the world. The truth hurts.

Everyone knows Born to Run is the only Bruce song really worth listening to more than once.

I'm disappointed that Dusty/Pet Shop Boys didn't get the highest vote. What does it say about us that Dusty had to cross the Atlantic to get the accolades she deserved? Feh.

Sinead a "one-hit wonder?" Really, now. I have her Collaborations and it's quite good.

[jawnbc]

Nah I really wanted to put Rosalita or Thunder Road instead, but figured those were too arcane for most folks.

Dusty is da bomb. Totally. My kinda lesbian!

see my reply to <lj user=bookbear. vis à vis Sinéad...

'Confide In Me' is Kylie's best, you Philistine.

*grin*

B-b-b-b-but she's wearing glasses and business drag for that CD.....

Hey I'm just a guest worker. Me know nothing...
