The Third Songfactors' Choice Ultimate Top Ten - Round 4

[c_s_1987]

[bigger]THE THIRD SONGFACTORS' CHOICE ULTIMATE TOP TEN - ROUND 4[/bigger]

- No nominations are required, as the songs have been selected from our 25 top tens.

- Voting rules will be exactly the same as the normal top tens - rank your favourite songs in the list from 1-10, and 10 points will be given to your number 1 song, 9 for number 2 etc.

- We have decided to restrict eligibility to vote to only those people who have nominated or voted in at least one of Top Tens 51-75. We think that's fair!

- We realised it would be ridiculous to expect people to come up with a top ten from all 250 songs, so I have seeded the songs and split them into fair groups.

- The results will be announced in about five days from the start date of this thread.

- This is Group 4 of 5, and this group contains 50 songs. I will then combine the five top tens together to form a group, and then we will vote on these songs to form the Ultimate Top Ten.

How can you claim to be a Billy Joel fan and leave "It's Still Rock and Roll to me" off the list? Just kidding. I try and support my man Billy when I can, except for "Uptown Girl".

I know,I know. I didn't see it on the list . Oh and you're right about "Uptown Girl", although I caught myself singing it when I read your post.

[Jenny]

I don't know what it is about that song that irks me....it must be Christy Brinkley in the video. I can't hear the song without seeing her, and for some strange reason, she irks me.

Two 90s songs this time (the songs I put at #1 and 2 ). It helps a lot that we've got another 90s voter back. Thanks Martin!

The big Stones hits haven't had any trouble so far, and I doubt that Ruby Tuesday will be any different. What will be interesting is when they face off against each other in the final round.

On the other hand, two Beatles and two Eagles songs just missed out this time, which again shows the effect of having multiple songs from the same artist in the list. Three Stones songs also missed out, but I wouldn't have expected any of those three to make the list.
