Ok, here's the first round of the new forum poll. I've tried to reflect the fact that we're aiming for a Top 10 (as that's what sparked the debate) so except for the final round (which will be the ordering of the 10) there will be at least 2 entries going through, and you'll have as many votes as entries going through.

I would urge people to at least try listening to all the tracks, although having listened to basically all of them myself, I'm not going to make an insistence on it being all the way through or anything ;)

Round 1 is going to be 10 tracks, and the Top 4 will go through, so 4 votes each.

Tracks are as follows:

Jamiroquai - Canned Heat
Muse - New Born
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
Guns N' Roses - Move To The City
Jackson Browne - Load Out / Stay
The Animals - House Of The Rising Sun
Queen - Hammer To Fall
The Stranglers - Hanging Around
The Beatles - Rock And Roll Music
Alice Cooper - House Of Fire

Each round will run for the usual 7 days, and I've decided to change it to whenever I remember (reminders are allowed!). No changing once you've voted, it'll just get too complicated so think first!!

Jamiroquai? Rock n Roll?

I'm going to have to listen to all of those as nothing jumps out at me

Same here. I'm going to vote for Don't Stop Me Now and that's it.

Queen, Don't stop me now FTW.

I like Jamiroquai, but not that song.

Animals - I love this track, I play it often in the car
Queen x2 - greatest hits resides permanently in my car cd changer
Muse - it's the only one of theirs I like, but it is a great song

"Hanging Around" is one of my all-time favourite tracks. I purchased their "greatest hits" just for that one track. Annoyingly, that was on cassette quite a few years ago, and it's rather stretched now :(

New Born is one of the best songs ever, never mind limiting it to a genre.

None of these are either The Pixies or Rocket From The Crypt. I abstain on these grounds.
