There's not a pair of songs I rate higher in this decade than my first two in '77. Albums have seemed more significant so far in the 70s but the scales tip in favour of singles for the next few years by my estimation: Albums 1. The Clash - The Clash [fave version: 1979 US version] 2. Suicide - Suici...

It's just a guy making a bewildered face. I love both of these songs and Spotlight is a SOTY contender for me, so it's surprising to see someone rank one so high and the other so low. Haha, well, I find Spotlight to be lost in an ever-growing crowd of nu-disco* and I've always thought of Ware's voi...

Just to be clear I intended to vote for the Glass track - thanks for pointing this out!

I recounted four times now and it's still a tie? Maybe we exist in parallel universes?

Or more plausibly, it's me being too stupid to count to 7 or 8

You're right, it is 7 each.

(I gave a nod to Shed Seven) If you didn't love Eurovision so much, I'd swear you were British! The poll's somehow still allowing votes, despite results being announced in August, like you say.

Nothing nearly as intelligent as much of the above on my part, mainly alternating between biogs at the minute, be they on The Stones, Johnny Cash, the making of London Calling and- most dubiously of all- the life and times of Shaun Ryder.

200 Prince songs at the very least would be well within Mr. MB's range, that was approx. the amount he had in his list for the 2018 AT poll if I recall correctly?

...straight after spotting the above, I realised by seeing carlos74's list and checking AM that I'd falsely placed Luxury Liner by Emmylou Harris on my 1976 ballot when it was from '77, so I've not got a leg to stand on!

316. The Clash (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

Top choice but this is 1978- the source of the confusion might be its inclusion on the US version of 1977's The Clash, which was released in 1979. Not that this placing has any bearing on the results, I'm just highlighting it for others.
