lurkers vs. pizza

― Dr. Lol Evans (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 13 September 2010 20:51 (sixteen years ago)

i think of it less as a vote for the beatles, and more as a vote against david bowie.

These polls have been slowly eroding my love for The Beatles. I know that is silly, but it's true.

You need to fire up a nice MP3 duo of "Flying" into "Blue Jay Way".

New VH1 poll lands Stevie Wonder at #10, David Bowie at #12.

Edge: VH1

― Eric H., Thursday, 16 September 2010 11:46 (sixteen years ago)

VH1 thinks artists with lots of hits in the UK were one-hit wonders. Advantage: VH1.

― slow a cat sample down 800 percent (Matos W.K.), Thursday, 16 September 2010 17:28 (sixteen years ago)

it's been well established that VH1 doesn't understand the definition of the phrase "one-hit wonder"

also Nena had a bunch of hits in Germany

― juggalo iglesias (HI DERE), Thursday, 16 September 2010 17:33 (sixteen years ago)

weren't the baha men a popular band in their home country for like 25 years or something?

― board of the living based heads (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:18 (sixteen years ago)

Is there home country the USA? Well then, who cares?

― Eejit Piaf (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:19 (sixteen years ago)

hey i do! in fact, i always support all those other little countries around the world with a kind word and and encouraging pat on the head, kind of like when tim tebow takes time out to sign autographs for kids before games

― board of the living based heads (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:23 (sixteen years ago)

can't believe a-ha only had 1 hit in the US tbh

― Eejit Piaf (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:26 (sixteen years ago)

don't think i've ever heard another a-ha song

― tylerw, Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:28 (sixteen years ago)

Wiki says "The Sun Always Shines on TV" was number 20 so does that mean VH1 is full of shit?

― Eejit Piaf (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:31 (sixteen years ago)

VH1 has ALWAYS been full of shit, is the thing you have to realize

― juggalo iglesias (HI DERE), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:32 (sixteen years ago)

well yeah I figured, I really meant "full of shit specifically with regard to its definition of 'one hit wonders'"

― Eejit Piaf (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:33 (sixteen years ago)

it's been well established that VH1 doesn't understand the definition of the phrase "one-hit wonder"

― juggalo iglesias (HI DERE), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:33 (sixteen years ago)

So they even include acts that had more than one hit in the US, nevermind the rest of the world?

― Eejit Piaf (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:36 (sixteen years ago)

basically

― juggalo iglesias (HI DERE), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:36 (sixteen years ago)

i'm not going to defend vh1, but come on, this is like getting bent out of shape at a listicle in cosmo.

― are you interested in getting into a detailed car with me here? (goole), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:38 (sixteen years ago)

see the thing is cable music channels basically ARE my Cosmo and it is my god-given right as a person who grew up cable-deprived to get bent out of shape about it way past an age where it makes any lick of sense
