 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: Metallica - BatteryPearl Jam - GardenLed Zeppelin - Whole Lotta LoveThe Beatles - I Saw Her Standing ThereThe Beatles - RevolutionRage Against The Machine - TestifyStatus Quo - Down, DownMetallica - Enter SandmanThe Wonder Stuff - Give, Give, Give, Me, More, More, MoreKula Shaker - HushEach round will run for the usual 7 days, and I'll try and start them first thing Tuesday morning each week (reminders are allowed!). No changing once you've voted, it'll just get too complicated so think first!!

I couldn't bring myself to vote for 4. Hush is a good track, but I prefer the original. The Kula Shaker version was pointless. The Beatles have done some great rock tracks, but that ain't them. I nearly voted for Quo because it's a classic, but I just couldn't. The Led Zep track is a classic that still sounds good, so that got a vote. Battery is not my favourite Metallica track, but it's still better than all the other tracks... except for Enter Sandman, which is another classic and totally awesome. Definitely my favourite on that list, by about a million. Still not my favourite Metallica track though. I don't think I've listened to The Wonder Stuff since I was at college  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

The poll is Rock N Roll. By any definition, the early Beatles was Rock N Roll, and Blues.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Those two Metallica tracks reminded me I should have nominated "One". At the time I wasn't really thinking of metal.

I did nominate it so it will turn up at some point; would be funny if it only got One vote!

I wasn't disputing the Rock or the Roll. I just don't think those tracks are great. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net
