All great songs.

142

Just in case anyone missed it, we have a tiebreaker situation over in the N poll thread.

mmm

143

I like the brass version. Watching the video, I often wonder what the decibel level in that small room was - brass instruments are loud close up.

144

Others I considered but haven’t been mentioned:

The Way You Look Tonight - Frank Sinatra
Who You Are - Pearl Jam
A Well Respected Man - The Kinks
Who Will Save Your Soul - Jewel

145

Sorry, I didn’t realise that the song you posted was a cover of RATM. Yeah, that brass version kicks ass! And reminded me that I still love every single song from the first RATM album. One of the best debut albums of all time, so powerful.

146

Because ties can’t just remain ties? It’s not like the winner advances to the Super Bowl.

147

Maybe the Super Bowl will be the thread of all threads, when @Mean_Mr.Mustard collects the winners of all these “beginning with letter X” threads for a final poll? :wink:

148

They cannot.

mmm

149

Any thought on having an extra round of voting for the Ws, since we’ve got so many for this letter? Maybe a round of “Pick 5” that gets us to the finals.

150

I’m not 100% sure what you’re suggesting or how it would work.

Maybe I will have the final poll with the top 20 rather than the usual top 10-ish.

mmm

151

I was going to pick Waitin’ For The Bus, but I didn’t think many others would vote for it.

152

Yeah, that would be good. It just seems like with so many songs, some good ones might get eliminated even with a relatively high percentage of votes.

My initial thought was to add an additional round of voting that has us voting on the top 20 or 30 from the first round, people could pick up to 5. Then do the finals with the top 10 of those like normal. But there’s no need to create more work for yourself.

Just having a larger field for the finals would be just a good.

153

Rather late, but there’s another great song missing, “Wir sind die Roboter” by Kraftwerk.

154

Pretty good. Enjoyed. A little harmony singing is usually a good thing.

155

Dang, totally forgot that one.

“We are the robots” doop doop doop doo

I wish the W finalists would make up their minds. They want me to walk on the wild side, walk this way, walk like an Egyptian, and walk on by.

mmm

158

Well, so you gotta walk on by this way like an Egyptian on the wild side. Easy peasy.

159

Maybe they’ll offer assistance.

You know, We Will Walk You.

mmm

160

Just walk away, Renee…
