Common People

Obviously Cannonball or Deee-Lite for me, but they scratch such different itches, I'm truly not sure!

TROY

I really don't see the appeal of Music Sounds Better With You

― paolo, Thursday, 18 February 2016 14:06 (ten years ago)

Common People, followed by the two Bjorks.

Beastie Boys by a scratch over Deee-Lite

"To Here Knows When" over "Hyperballad"

― Hi! I'm twice-coloured! (Sund4r), Thursday, 18 February 2016 17:26 (ten years ago)

To Here Knows When is the song of songs.

Windowlicker

― The ED, Friday, 19 February 2016 21:15 (ten years ago)

Likely going with MBV out of these.

How did Hyper-Ballad wind up both here and on the Bridesmaids list?

― Sushi and the Banchan (Spectrist), Friday, 19 February 2016 21:38 (ten years ago)

I like the way you work it...

― groovypanda, Friday, 19 February 2016 21:42 (ten years ago)

these are all good -- I could pick any of seven of them

― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Friday, 19 February 2016 22:27 (ten years ago)

Torn between Dee-Lite and MBV and they're so different it's almost impossible to weigh them up against each other

― Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 20 February 2016 00:05 (ten years ago)

How did Hyper-Ballad wind up both here and on the Bridesmaids list?

i'm a fucking idiot. sorry about that.

― Bee OK, Saturday, 20 February 2016 03:43 (ten years ago)

i do now wonder how that Bridesmaids would have turned out if i did these correctly? "Hyper-Ballad" tied for first and was not a Bridesmaids, she actually tied for the win.

― Bee OK, Sunday, 21 February 2016 00:28 (ten years ago)

Why is it that "Common People" always makes these lists and not the previous single you could actually dance to?

― Tuomas, Sunday, 21 February 2016 00:37 (ten years ago)

that's because there are at least two different types of disingenuous cunt who regularly post to ILM

― Szechuan TV (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 21 February 2016 01:56 (ten years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Monday, 22 February 2016 00:01 (ten years ago)

I reckon I know the winner, I won't say but I will be honest when the results are in.

― Mark G, Monday, 22 February 2016 01:45 (ten years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

well duh

― odysseus (imago), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 00:12 (ten years ago)

I didn't even see it listed.

(My guess was third)

― Mark G, Tuesday, 23 February 2016 15:18 (ten years ago)

The #1 tune is the only one I've never even heard, but I guess it's an ILX thing.

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 23 February 2016 15:38 (ten years ago)

Are you going for Board Descriptions?
