This one appears to be from 1982. Care to replace it?

Move up the songs below and add Triumph's "Fight the Good Fight" at #100. Thanks!

Thank you Sweepstakes Ron for the excellent presentation! I read complaints how this dragged on for 3 months but personally, I have no issues with it, considering the scale of the poll results and of course all the hard work you've put into it.

A song's placement could easily jump up by a lot from a single vote. "All Star" was in the lower half of the top 10 before the last voter placed it at #1 in his list. Here's the Top 200 list and below it is a breakdown by the year/decade: 1. Smash Mouth, "All Star" (1999) | 5 vot...

Thank you all for the compliments. I took a breather and just got back to the forums. I read all the comments and I'm glad the inaugural poll didn't turn out a total disaster.

I'll wrap this up tomorrow. You probably know what the last 2 songs are. I'll provide a spotify playlist and the spreadsheet.
"All 4 Love" is my personal discovery in this poll. What a lame boy band with lame dance moves and clothes, but what a soulful and catchy tune!

A simple google search of "a-ha take on me guilty pleasure" will reveal that there are people out there that classify the song as a guilty pleasure. I think there will be more controversial entries when we get into the Top 40. So, are the songs going to be better (greater) or worse (guilti...

You should feel guilty for liking "We Are the World". But at least I prefer it to the corn-fest of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Eh, who am I, I'm just a party-pooper. I didn't know others loved "Sunday Morning". One of the best pop fusion songs ever written. The grou...

I'm happy to see several songs in this Top 200, so far, are included in the Top 2000 songs roll-out as of today. It goes to show that a song being a guilty pleasure and also considered one of the greatest of all time are not mutually exclusive.
