EWB's Favorite Song: The Results

[Dingle]

(Y) for Master of Puppets, Faint of Heart and Hotel California (Y).

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Huzzah for Windowlicker, Citizen Erased and Paranoid Android (though far from Radiohead's best song)

[Pesci]

At least most of them could arguably be near a "Best Of" list sometime soon, rather than a (albeit better compared to recent stuff) naff recent Oasis release.

First of all, it's not naff.

Secondly, I despise GNR and Metallica, and always have. Their music just doesn't appeal to me. Radiohead I like, but I dislike Paranoid Android, and Dream Theater are horrible. I don't think Dream Theater will be anywhere near Best Of anything, no matter how many years they play for.

Dream Theater was the only band I didn't count in that (thus why I used "most")

Though I like Dream Theater.

[Ash J. Williams]

Coheed and Cambria above Dream Theater?

8. "Hey Jude" by The Beatles

"All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix

"Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains

7. "Live Forever" by Oasis

6. "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" by The Smiths

5. "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin

4. "Weapon" by Matthew Good Band

Yup. We're now down to the final three, which I'll probably post tomorrowish.

On a side note, EWB's LEAST Favorite Song of the songs nominated was "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day. It had more points against it than any song had FOR it until we hit the top ten. I just thought that was worth mentioning.

[Skummy]

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

That's higher than I expected it to get, and it's my favourite song ever, so it's all downhill from here, as evidenced by the presence of the Matthew Good Band >_>

"Weapon" is naff so high, but thats the MGB fans influence I guess. I like most of the other choices.

[apsham]

WEAPON FOR FIRST, RECOUNT THE VOTES YARRRR.

[Pesci]

7. "Live Forever" by Oasis

[Clawson]

Nah I can deal with Matthew Good being above Oasis sometimes, though Weapon is hardly the best song the band ever did.

[GoGo Yubari]

And here we go, the final stretch. Enjoy, kiddies.

3. "Hurt" by Johnny Cash

2. "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen

And coming in at NUMBAHHHHHHH ONNNNEEEEE...

1. "Everlong" by Foo Fighters

Done with this now, hoorah. Last one out, turn off the lights.

Hmmm.....I like "Everlong"...but no, just no.

I agree that it's pretty damn random. It got to the top mostly by being on a lot of lists and always being in the top five of said lists. Whatever.

[NobBe Nobbs]

...

...Everlong came in first?

...

...above Bohemian Rhapsody?

...

...above Hurt?

...yeah, you fail in ludicrous amounts, EWB.

[SeanDMan]

What a random and odd list this turned out to be.

Thanks for doing the math GoGo. And was it Jook who ditched on it? I thought it was someone else. Not that blaming Jook is ever the wrong decision.

[Pesci]

It was Ollie.

And wow, that was random. I didn't even know it was in the running :|

[Liam]

Yeah, I never really assumed Everlong might be up there, and there definitely could have been worse songs.

The list ended up better than I expected, to be honest.

[SeanDMan]

Any time Matt Good makes the top five, the list in question rocks.
