The omission of the Chuck Berry and Barry White ones is…unfortunate.
Not quite. Wrong Borussia, my club is Mönchengladbach.
But generally, it’s definitely one of the greatest football songs of all time, if sung on the Süd or on the Kop. And I just love how Liverpool fans chanting it is integrated into “Fearless”, one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs.

It is at this point that the preferences of Dope music listeners has become pretty clear:
[genres I see all the time at the top of the polls]
Soft rock/pop Classic rock, incl. Yacht rock Classic soul Somenew wave shows up here and there, but only the most commercial (Police, Elvis Costello), but even then U2 isn’t having anything show up in the finals-Mysterious Ways w 22%…
[genres that don’t get much love]
Progressive rock, interestingly enough. Yes’ Yours Is No Disgrace only got 2 other votes than mine, thought it was a pretty well-known cut. Epitaph by King Crimson only got 1 other vote too. Even Floyd isn’t doing so hot-Echoes only got 7. Moody Blues now have a shot with Nights in White Satin with the opening of the N poll, but we shall see. Art rock, other than Bowie. I’ve nommed several Roxy Music cuts only to see them almost invariably ignored-again thought this crowd would be more knowledgeable about such… Post-punk Alternative (after new wave kind of morphed into it)-these last two a big surprise: my guess is that the only grunge cuts which have a chance of making it to the final round would be Smells Like Teen Spirit, Jeremy, and Even Flow (oh yeah we did do the E’s already, came in at 31%…).
No rap/hip-hop for the most part, which isn’t that big a surprise, but bears mentioning. Metal or even hard rock, not even old school–You’ve Got Another Thing Coming got 21%, not seeing much Sabbath or Deep Purple high in the polls. Stairway to Heaven made the finals but finished dead last.
