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:

Eagles - Hotel California
Led Zeppelin - Rock N Roll
Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell
Led Zeppelin - The Immigrant Song
Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes
The Stranglers - No More Heroes
Arcic Monkeys - Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Mary Jane
Fields Of The Nephalim - Psychonaut
Steely Dan - Parker's Band

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!!

Youtube no longer has a version of Hotel California with any sound on it, so people will have to look elsewhere for it I'm afraid.

Just checked how my votes were doing.

They're all winning except for the Arctic Monkeys. And with hindsight, I guess their position is fair. They're up against some of the greatest legends of rock history. It's still a bloody great track though, especially compared to what else came out that year.

I didn't vote for Fields Of The Nephalim, but respect to whoever nominated it. Brings back vague memories of my dope addled teenage years, and I still love to revel in them every so often. Preferably in the dark, obviously. Followed by the Sisters' Reptile House EP. A spliff would be good too, although I've barely even smelled it in 20 years :|

I think I'm having a mid-life crisis :lol:

Eagles - Hotel California

Honestly don't know any of the others, and a 26kb/s internet connection means listening to all of the others would be a painful experience.
