GO ABBA









Last week was good the first 3 days of this week had some real crap, Last couple of days rock.

[ViragoVixen]

I agree. I wasn't paying much attention at the beginning of the week but for the last day or so, its been great. 3 more songs to go.

[Gubb]

Enter Sandman as Number 1?
Either that or Teen Spirit.

[Bren]

Metallica at # 2...that sucks....

[ViragoVixen]

Teen spirit was at #6. I was surprised at where 'The Unforgiven' placed - #23.

[BASS-TREBLE]

Go metallica

[ViragoVixen]

Enter Sandman #1 :)

[Skyryder]

Where was Bill Haley and the Comets??:spanking:


Skyryder

[Bren]

Oh well...thats better....a quinella for Metallica...

Now I can carry on listening to Death Magnetic!:clap:

[Waylander]

Now I can carry on listening to Death Magnetic!:clap:
I'm quite disappointed in Death Magnetic. Particularly Unforgiven III. That song at least should have been better.

listening to it now....and i quite like it....but I am pretty limp where it comes to metal...I prefer the softer stuff...Slayer and the like are audio overload to me...

I just got a new(ish) ute, with a fk'n LOUD pioneer stereo in it, spent the day drainlaying on a new subdivision, while listening to the rock, the sound of metallica, pink floyd, gnr, nirvana etc silencing everything else was fantastic.......I thought enter sandman as #1 was a bit of a letdown though imo, while that song is good, metallica have done much better. ( it wasworth driving around and around the block to hear before I got home though.....)

10 LED ZEPPLIN - Stairway to Heaven

While enter sandman is a reasonable tune it's by no way a worthy #1
Oh well, did'nt vote so I should'nt moan I guess.....But fookin' Metallica! I mean FFS!

[Headbanger]

Now, there's a list of 10 songs I never want to ever hear again.

Especially the wankfeat they call November rain.


No...wait, I think I hate them all equally.

[rachprice]

hmm yeah I hate metallica...its the same every year really
Maybe that speaks volumes about the sort of music that is coming out currently (or just the rock audience!)

[homer]

i dont entirely get it !
you submit your fav top 10 songs , they then somehow figure the top 1000 out of aproximatly 200 000 songs .
yet they can only find the same songs roughly for the top 1000.
they run a no repeat work week about 2 times in a year .
surely they can run no repeat work weeks all year , considering the volume of music out there.

[driftn]

I think the top ten was wicked. #1 & #2 should be round the other way.
#1 we all new it would be enter sandman, Good song but one is better.

actually the whole count down was awesome :Punk:

Cant wait for next year.

[PeteMun]

theres plenty better metallica songs than enter sandman.. Where the hell was And justice for all? I cant see it on the list.. And whats up with Smells Like Teen Spirit ? I do like Nirvana but not that song..

[snot]

moron *cough* etc

[PeteMun]

did you vote?
moron *cough* etc

yeah but not for your favorite song Billy ray sirus wasnt it :stupid:

[bully]

its a great count down from the norm, but all thos great songs, why dont they play them all the time. the heavyer stuff, like master of puppets, its the only time you hear it, even if you request it there like nah.

[lb99]

, like master of puppets, .

ha
OBEY YOUR MASTER

My wife hates that song, always leaves the room

[outlawtorn]

Good to MetallicA in there and being 1 & 2.

But I am so sick of hearing the same shit day in and day out from the Rock, they only ever play the singles from the albums, nothing else.....probably why I don't listen to radio anymore!

[MisterD]

That's what happens when you get Rock listeners voting - their record collections don't extend past 1990.

Now, if Hauraki were to do the same, you'd get a better list.

[ManDownUnder]

With Queen occupying nearly one percent of the entries... I'm content.

[Drunken Monkey]

While enter sandman is a reasonable tune it's by no way a worthy #1
Oh well, did'nt vote so I should'nt moan I guess.....But fookin' Metallica! I mean FFS!

That's what happens when you give internet access to mullets...

[Pex Adams]

You can tell the top 2 were voted for by a bunch of Red necks that had nothing better to do with there day, since all the Lion Red pubs were probably closed...:girlfight::girlfight:

Yeah, I don't even think I had Metallica in my top 10! I was a bit gutted that the overrated Foo Fighters had two in the top 10 as well. :oi-grr:

Nevermind, we'll get Rocktober next month with its bullshit like My Chemical Romance wiping out the goodies like Led Zep. Oh, I can't wait! :blink:

[Pex Adams]

and the wooden spoon award goes to.......

Waikato Draught... It was a close contest with Reineck!

[Jez]

Tool at 21 ... no taste in this country :P
