First of all, thanks to everyone who took part in this amazingly scientific
study ;o) There were well over 200 votes for 77 different album and 'b' side
songs. I have given the results as percentages for the top three in each
album, and an overall top ten at the end (no peeping yet). The reason why
the percentages are not whole numbers is down to multiple voting. Those of
you who were split between 2 songs, for example, were only credited with a
half mark for each nomination - the only fair way of doing it. As to
wheteher a song is an album track or a 'b' side, well, my criterion was on
English releases (sorry, RoW). EP tracks are 'b' sides. On to the results...
OSB - In The Middle Of The Night (36.8%), Bed And Breakfast Man (20.8%),
Swan Lake (15.6%) [8/11 tracks nominated]
Absolutely - Disappear (24.6%), Close Escape (17.5%), Shadow Of Fear (17.1%)
[11/11 tracks nominated]
7 - Mrs. Hutchinson (29%), Benny Bullfrog (19.4%), Promises Promises & Sign
Of The Times (12.9%) [7/10 tracks nominated]
Rise And Fall - Calling Cards (45.2%), Primrose Hill (19.4%), Rise And Fall
(9.7%) [8/11 tracks nominated]
Keep Moving - Victoria Gardens (29.6%), March Of The Gherkins (17.6%), Keep
Moving & Prospects (12%) [10/10 tracks nominated]
Mad Not Mad - Burning The Boats (29.5%), Time (28.2%), I'll Compete (24.4%)
[6/7 tracks nominated]
'B' Sides - Deceives The Eye (40%), Stepping Into Line (20%), Don't Quote Me
On That & In The City (13.3%)
The Madness - Beat The Bride (43.8%), Thunder And Lightning (18.8%), Song In
Red (13.5%) [7/10 tracks nominated]
The Lone Ranger - 4am & She's Gone (22.2%), Alcohol & Fortune Fish & Haunted
(16.7%) [6/7 tracks nominated]
Three Pyramids Club - Straight Banana (41.7%), Invisible Man & So Tired
(25%) [4/9 tracks nominated]
Overall Top Ten - In The Middle Of The Night (5.14%), Beat The Bride &
Calling Cards (5.08%), Deceives The Eye (4.36%), Burning The Boats (4.17%),
Time (3.99%), Victoria Gardens (3.87%), I'll Compete (3.45%), Disappear
(3.39%), Mrs. Hutchinson (3.27%)
Hope some of your personal faves made the final count. If anyone hasn't
nominated their Should-Have-Beens, I'll keep the count going for a while
yet. Just e-mail me off-list. I'll give another update if one is needed in
the future.
Stay Mad 8-)
