(1986) - 12 Bad Case Of Loving You - Robert Palmer (1979) - 10 (We're gonna) Rock Around the Clock - Bill Haley and his Comets (1954) - 10 New York State of Mind - Billy Joel (1976) - 8 Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks (1974) - 7 Thrill Is Gone, The - B.B. King (1969) - 7 Georgy Girl - The Seekers (1966) - 5 I thought judging by the first 15 votes, Bohemian Rhapsody was going to set a new record high score, but it fell about 13 short of the mark. I Am A Rock won in a close countback against Time, while Magic Carpet Ride easily progressed due to it receiving votes from 11 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Thanks Chris That's great. I know you've put a lot of work into this, and I'm really looking forward to Round 2, after we've had a chance to digest this. A worthy #1. I thought it would win by more than that.

Steel2Velvet Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I was the only one who voted for Robert Palmer's entry. That surprises me to some degree. But an all-round outstanding top ten! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I was the only one who voted for Robert Palmer's entry. That surprises me to some degree. But an all-round outstanding top ten! Yes, and Darryl was the only person to vote for Rock Around The Clock - both of those things surprised me a fair bit. Round 2 will be starting tomorrow.
