Survey: Top Hits of All-Time

[Wayback]

It's that time of year to cast your vote in the 12th annual survey of Top-Hit Records of All-Time (1939-2009).  Voting ends Dec 6 with results displayed after Dec 25.  New this year, you can vote for up to TEN of your favorite songs of all time!   Many enhancements have been made to this year’s voting page, including an all-new AutoComplete feature that provides a list of suggestions to choose from as you type.  Just click on a choice and the program will fill in the fields for you.  As always, you can still vote for any song you like and check-in for periodic tabulation updates during Nov & Dec.  There's also a link to an archive of all past years survey results.  Join the fun, here’s the link to the voting site: http://www.tunemagic.net/VoteTop77/

ha -- I was just looking at that post and was (a) puzzled, as I thought the rules were that these were supposed to be charted hits and not any random song you heard on an LP 30 years ago; and (b) gobsmacked by the eclecticsm -- one guy picked an obscure Grateful Dead song alongside Barry M's "Mandy" (!?!).

I repeated my choices 1-4 but replaced the Turtles' "She's My Girl" with, on a passing whim, New Colony Six's "Things I'd Like to Say."

Why copy editors exist:

Inspired by Paul McCartney's mother Mary, John absolutely hated this song.

Um, where's Sam Cooke, yo?  Only one Drifters song?  No Joy to the World?  What!
