Yup! Just 1 hour to go.

The five remaining songs all finished #1 in their respective years - 1971, 1972, 1975, 1977, and 1979. The first to fall is 1971, which, despite having 6 representatives in the final 20, fail to finish any higher than 5th. http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/5679779/Led+Zeppelin+LedZeppelin.jpg [5...

Indeed! Henrik placed it at 108, whereas Honorio was only a little bit kinder at 105.

Ok yet another break, as we're left with our top 5. Song #5 finished a huge 78 points ahead of Baba O'Riley, the third biggest margin between two songs. The interesting thing is that the two biggest margins haven't appeared yet either...

I'll reveal #5 in about half an hour. So what is it to be?

Rockyraccoon is the biggest hater of this song on the forum, with a ranking of 103. Only one song remains that betters that. Amazing consistency, and a couple of high votes shoot it just shy of the top 10. http://static1.squarespace.com/static/53f91163e4b0a085e8d24e89/54454ca9e4b02e37b41d69eb/54454c...

Four of my top 15 made the top 20, but based upon the ones that have fallen, if Zorg decides to do a “friends/enemies” correlation like the 80s poll, I might not have a friend in the world!
