Post by spiritualized »

It's time for instalment n°87 of the Classics Chart, where YOU get to nominate and vote for the best songs ever in a tournament to the death ! Only the cream of the crop will go through the grueling EIGHT weeks of charting.

NEW RULES !

Nominations will follow the rules below :

- only the first top 1000 AM song nominated each week is eligible.
- only the first six top AM 1001-10000 songs nominated each week is eligible.

For this week :

Top Tier (1-1000)
THE BEATLES “Eleanor Rigby” (1966) #176 on AM

Second Tier (1001-10,000)

Imani Coppola - Legend Of A Cowgirl (unranked)

I think this format is much better and exciting with far more unacclaimed tracks and discoveries to be found!
Thanks.

So your nomination will be Outlaws.

Renaissance - Ocean Gypsy

Just discovered that they are completely absent from AM! A bit baffling, almost as big an oversight as Gentle Giant.

Thank you spiritualized. What if Kraftwerk's chair given to:
Iron Butterfly - Heavy
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

That's funny if 2 acts sitting on 1 chair? Thanks.
