poll updates
 

i plan to update this post as we move along.

so far, we created following polls:

- Buckingham-Dashut co-written songs - closed
- favorite cover by LB - closed
- Christine-Lindsey co-written songs - closed
- favorite co-written song (excluding RD and CM co-writes) - closed
- favorite Buckingham Nicks song by LB
- favorite Buckingham Nicks song not written by LB

winning songs moving into next round (so far, in alphabetical order):

Frozen Love
Isn't It Midnight
Love Runs Deeper
Shut Us Down
Street Of Dreams
To Try For The Sun
Without a Leg to Stand On
World Turning
You Do Or You Don't

World Turning/Isn't It Midnight
 

How can both of these songs be winners when they were competing against one another (both co-written with CM)?

good point. guess we can call them co-winners.:)

please refer to the current poll rules here:
http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showpo...9&postcount=24

to reiterate:

designated as poll *winners* will be songs that have at least 2 votes more than a runner-up song. if there are 2 or 3 songs with exact same number of votes, or the winning song has just 1 vote more than the 2nd song, both songs will go into the next round.
[kind of like some weird version of tennis rules - you can't go to another round unless you have 2pt advantage]

this is why the poll of Buckingham-Dashut co-written songs is still open: there are 5 songs all within 1-vote from each other.

if we want to consider different rules, let's discuss.

World turning is ten times more artistic than isn't it midnight. i just cannot Imagine somebody chooses iim above wt. Impossible. THE only thing that makes that song interesting is the guitarsolo, which is exquise, but a solo is not a song..

favorite cover poll result
 

To Try For The Sun is a clear winner and will move to the next round.

these were poll results:

To Try For The Sun 11
Love Minus Zero/No Limit 8
Blue Letter 7
All My Sorrows 2
It Was I 2
She Smiled Sweetly 2
I Am Waiting 1
This Nearly Was Mine 1
Satisfied Mind 0
September Song 0

+10 points

CM / LB co-written song - poll results
 

as much as i personally may agree with you, these were poll results:

Isn't It Midnight 13
World Turning 12
You And I, Part I 5
Mystified 3
Ricky 0
You And I, Part II 0

therefore, according to the 2-pt rule for moving to the next round, both Isn't It Midnight and World Turning are moving to the next round.

co-written song (excluding RD or CM co-writes) - poll results
 

poll results for co-written song (excluding RD or CM co-writes):

Love Runs Deeper 9
Shut Us Down 9
Stars Are Crazy 4
What's The World Coming To 3
Say We'll Meet Again 2
Did You Miss Me 1
Great Day 1
I Want You 1
Come 1

therefore, according to the 2-pt rule for moving to the next round, both Love Runs Deeper and Shut Us Down are moving to the next round.

I agree that "World Turning" is a far better song (even though "Isn't It Midnight" has one of LB's better guitar solos. If I lived in Chicago, I would have gotten some dead relatives to vote for "World Turning."

well... you still have a chance when it appears in the next round of voting ;) :p

Buckingham/Dashut co-writes
 

finally, we have poll results for Buckingham/Dashut co-written song:

You Do Or You Don't 9
Street Of Dreams 9
Wrong 7
Book Of Love 6
Turn It On 5
Surrender The Rain 1
This Is The Time 1
Empire State 1
Family Man 1
Oh Diane 1

this was extremely contentious poll, with 5 songs running neck-to-neck within 1 pt from each other for the longest time, as well as the most votes received in one poll since we started last week. also, every single song in this poll received at least a vote.

according to the 2-pt rule for moving to the next round, both You Do Or You Don't and Street Of Dreams are moving to the next round.

Elle, just say when and we'll close the BN polls.

after the longest period of WALTSP and DLMDA being tied for the first place, happy to report following poll results:

Without a Leg to Stand On 14
Don't Let Me Down Again 12
Lola My Love 2

therefore, according to the 2-pt rule for moving on, Without a Leg To Stand On is moving to the next round.[/QUOTE]

BN songs not-written by LB
 

convincing win:

Frozen Love 21
Crystal 11

Frozen Love is moving to the next round.

ANTI-LOVE song poll winner
 

and - *drumroll* - we have a clear runaway winner of the anti-love song poll - WMYTYTO, with GYOW and then The Ledge left in the dust far behind:

What Makes You Think You're The One? 13
Go Your Own Way 7
The Ledge 4
Never Going Back Again 3
Not That Funny 2
Tusk 2
Come 2
That's Enough For Me 1
I Must Go 1
Caroline 0

this was such a great group of songs (again!). What Makes You Think You're The One? is moving to the next round.

isn't' that weird?!
 

this is weird, i don't have the option to edit my own posts that are older in this thread anymore... so updates here b/c i cannot go back to add new winners to the first post.:distress::(:shrug:

That's really weird cause I've had threads were I've updated the original post for several months. :shrug:

On another note, I'm kinda surprised about Go Your Own Way and Tusk not moving on in your contest. Them two songs are generally regarded as top Fleetwood Mac songs as they did really well in my 2010 contest. I suppose though they don't represent as strong as WMYTYTO the anti-love sentiment. :cool:

yeah i used to be able to also... try whether you still can now?

favorite personal growth song
 

after a long period of several songs running in parallel with the same number of votes, we finally have a 2pt winner of a favorite personal growth song poll:

Countdown 7
That's All For Everyone 5
Soul Drifter 4
You Do Or You Don't 4
Don't Look Down 3
Turn It On 3
This Is the Time 2
Doing What I Can 1
Surrender The Rain 1
World Turning 1

this was another great group of songs and it was really hard to choose - seemed like everyone i talked to had at least 3 favorites among these. Countdown is moving to the next round.

favorite personal career/music business reflection song
 

personal career/music business reflection song results:

Eyes Of The World 8
Rock Away Blind 7

Underground was close behind and looked like it may have some chance, but in the end Eyes Of The World and Rock Away Blind are moving to the next round.[/QUOTE]

favorite political/social commentary song

I was wondering what happened to all those polls...is there an aim? are we going to discuss the results at least? is there an other round? Have i missed something?

thanks for asking... got distracted;). we'll get back to these when things quiet down a bit.

but meanwhile, please feel free to propose some polls, discuss results, and propose any aims you would like to see.:nod::wavey:
