TOPIC: Favourite Features song
Posted  Tuesday, July 12, 2005 at 8:35 AM
Post 1 of 12
Ten options only makes it difficult to make such an important poll.

So, your favourite released Features song.

Here's how we'll do a poll without using the poll*:

Copy the most recent song list with the votes (starting here, obviously), paste it in your reply, add an X (BIG ONE) for your first choice and an x (small one) for your second favourite next to your choice and we'll add them up as it goes along. I've added my two choices, so the next person just copy the list and add theirs..and so on

*unless the administrators fancy relaxing the 10 votes rule and can make a 30+ choice poll!

So, the song list (in alphabetical order)

I don't believe this is an option for Invision Board.

I agree with Peace Frog: JamieCarroll has done an excellent job every year of having tournament-style voting for favorite Features songs (in the great tradition of American College Basketball finals aka "March madness"). Here's a summary:

2002: Circus (over Oh My Love)
2003: Buffalo Head (over Circus)
2004: Harder To Ignore (over Circus)
2005: Mosis Ptosis (over Circus)

I'll go out on a limb here to say that the fans love Circus quite a bit.

Circus... the Buffalo Bills of the Features catalog? Except for the fact that it actually won one year.
