Farin Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 on a personal note I want to say that I'm saddened that the 90's (or 00's for that matter) didn't do very well... (thanks to everyone who voted for "Mr. Jones" for keeping me from getting a depression) eg. I thought for sure that Nothing Else Matters would be in the Top 5...

Levis Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I think it's underrated because it's newer. It isn't Classic yet (something a lot of music channels would have you believe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I think it's underrated because it's newer. It isn't Classic yet (something a lot of music channels would have you believe) in my book they are... and when does a song qualify as "classic"? 10 years? 25 years? do we really care?

Levis Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 If it's Classic then I feel a lot older now. I think classic would imply more people know the songs. So far only the major hits have become 'classics' so to speak i.e. almost every one knows them... you'll know them... they're the ones that make the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 call me a fan, but I would have (and probably did) rate the first two songs much higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I think they're all equally huge. I meant in their respecitve Top Tens, not to each other... the first two came both to #10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) I'd STILL rate them about the same... but it would also depend on the other nominations Edited November 3, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I think "Won´t get fooled again" is a great song but I wouldn´t have choosed it over the others. I still think that "Tommy" is the best album by The Who... BF, I didn´t mean to offend, I just found your statement very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I like Won't get Fooled Again. It's maybe my favourite Who song, and of course I knew that it would make #1 out of the rest I know exactly three songs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) It had to make number 1. Out the rest, I don't know Mr Jones. Edited November 3, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible_r Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 i can't believe "common people" scored so low! it's a classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) I'm certainly very happy about the number one. In fact I just saw A Tale Of Two Springfields yesterday (the Simpsons episode featuring The Who). For fans of The Simpsons and that episode in particular, see also WhatBadgersEat.com . I have to say that Mr. Jones was one of my least favourite songs out of the 90s and 00s songs in this group.
