There is absolutely no question who the winner of this collossally important poll should be. It is not a close race. It is not a race at all. It is a slaughter. A winding of the wire round the throat. A garotting of the goats. A grand levelling of all the houses by one of the most flabbergastingly grand songs of all time. A beat up. A mis-match. An overgrown pissing patch: Shannon - Let the Music Play.

Talking Heads vs. Kate Bush vs. Madonna for me.

rocky dennis horror show (Pillbox), Thursday, 7 February 2013 04:55 (twelve years ago)

For second place you mean?

Hinklepicker, Thursday, 7 February 2013 05:53 (twelve years ago)

Bring The Noise.

EZ Snappin, Thursday, 7 February 2013 05:59 (twelve years ago)

Second place to When Doves Cry, maybe.

Took a minute of consideration, but yeah, Shannon is what I'd go nutty for in the club above even Prince (so hard to admit to myself).

Bring the Noise forever but I voted Little Red Corvette

Let the Music Play and Ceremony follow

g simmel, Thursday, 7 February 2013 21:40 (twelve years ago)

Little Red Corvette

for me this is between Prince or New Order. think i'm going for "Bizarre Love Triangle."

Bee OK, Saturday, 9 February 2013 03:42 (twelve years ago)

Prince + Kate Bush + Neneh Cherry would be a bizarre love triangle.

Personally, I think the Shannon song 'Let The Music Play' is the best. I used to think dancing was some kind of unnatural satan ritual but actually I was just pretending. Now I realise a dance is actually just a dance.

I guess i am definitely not the kind of person who believes in making out once (love them and leave them fast) although I have to admit to occasionally having a pocket full of horses.

what i'd really like to hear is ilx user Hinklepicker's thoughts on the song "Let the Music Play" by Shannon

Alice 2 Chainz - "I Luv Dem Bones" (zachlyon), Saturday, 9 February 2013 08:17 (twelve years ago)

I will be the only person who votes for "Bring The Noize" because I liked it before Scott Ian told me to.

Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Saturday, 9 February 2013 19:33 (twelve years ago)

all these songs are classics, some more than others:

1986 (tie) Prince and The Revolution - Kiss 0

whut

The Reverend, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 02:13 (twelve years ago)

That's a shame - if not a travesty of epic proportionality. Shannon was the best one here by streets and bounds - better even than When Doves Cry by Prince.

Hinklepicker, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 05:56 (twelve years ago)

nope

Bee OK, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 15:00 (twelve years ago)

Nope to you.
