Queen, no question. Although I grew up with the Beatles, Hey Jude is probably my least favourite of their songs.

PS Who's Adele? :rolleyes:;)

Re: ITV's Favourite Number Ones!
 
Apart from Queen and "Imagine", I don't agree with any of it. And Britney Spears:eek: ... the only list she belongs on is a docket.;)

Has anyone on here voted or been invited to vote on these "voted by the public" surveys?..pop music by definition changes over the years and it will go on forever..what was the greatest in the 50's will not be in 2012 or in upcoming years..but they are all good tunes/songs

cashman 10-07-2012 22:34
Re: ITV's Favourite Number Ones!
 
Ive never been invited to vote on one of those surveys, nor do i know anyone who has.

Maybe they just put a bunch of guys in a room with a Yoda bong and a fridge full of brewskies. On the wall are a whole bunch of pieces of paper with the titles of real good songs written on them. In the middle of the room is a table full of numbered darts. The folks drink the brewskies and fire up the bong. When everyone is trashed, they pick up darts and hurl them at the wall ... simple and effective way to choose the top ten, or twenty, or etc.:D

Yeh it's a con, what they did is got a group of music experts who selected a load of songs (how many I don't know) then I think they had some kind of online voting, which I never heard about until the first of the programs was shown on Sunday night, by which time the voting had closed.

Number 1's like "Albatross" and "Telstar" are more epic than stuff like Kylie Minogue. Seems like the choice are acts with an investment not off merit, in other words it's a record company promotions scam to sell records.:alright:

ha ha ha! Notice they are not on the list - the point is the top ten acts are on the list because they are being promoted to sell records and promote those artists - ged it! :rolleyes:

What they should do really is offer the public to select their one favourite number 1, then the records with most votes are the ones that win it. Problem if they did this it would cost a hell of a lot of money to gather all that data, by TV campaigns and advertisements.

Eric, thanks very much (not!) for invoking this dirge as an earworm in my brain. It's very hard to get rid of!

I presume you mean this so-called song spent most weeks at number one during the period in question. The mind boggles!
