xp yeah "Rock With You" second choice

1981 John Lennon - (Just Like) Starting Over

You're So Vain

Le Freak and Hey Ya not far behind

jesus things get grim after michael jackson, john lennon

Shakey Mo, is that your vote or just because of this thread? Or, um, both?

probably been noted a billion times before on these boards, but the intro to you're so vain is so great

i guess i would have to vote for rock with you.

i think don't stop till you get enough has polled higher on ilm, but imo rock with you is just unimpeachable

jesus things get grim after michael jackson, john lennon

wait, that was unfair. george michael, anita baker, outkast are ++

Shakey Mo, is that your vote or just because of this thread? Or, um, both?

haha it was just my vote. You're So Vain is like my no. 1 70s singer-songwriter track, it encapsulates so much about the genre, the era, etc

gin and juice so much better than doggystyle

no wait. doggystyle is better.

so much better

? There is no song called Doggystyle. Gin and Juice is ON Doggystyle. make sense man!

sorry! who am i (what's my name)

i rely a great deal on youtube for these polls and much else in life. like, my resume is in vlog format

also i was looking at the album chart, so i took back what i said about post '80 not being godawful

My favorites: B.J. Thomas, Carly, Chic, Outkast. They're all close...I guess I'll vote for "Raindrops."

"Baby Come Back"

I may have mentioned that I occasionally sing the "Do You Know Where You're Going To" chorus to insane Manhattan motorists

Marvin over Jax, Outkast, the '70s

you are one year and one day younger than me.

that is all.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

otm apart from the american pie vote

"hey ya" getting more votes than "rock with you" is so fucking not otm
