Gypsyblue - In discussions with Marty, I think what he means by the "final vote" is that if "best of 1" wins then this would be the list we would go by but there would be a vote in regards to whether the three Dance songs should be on there or be replaced with something else. This is why in my last post I made the suggestions for those particular three.
Macfan57 - I think that if something from the Dance has to be on there that it should be "Silver springs" because:
1. it was a higher "chart" item to keep those people happy that want as many "hits" on here as possible and...
2. It would be a Stevie song so it would keep those happy who feel as though she's not represented enough.
but I don't see why her having six songs instead of seven and Green & Burnette having one each causes a problem and makes people think she is not fairly being represented (as we are trying to be "fully" representitive and go "through the years" and "touch" on as many lineups as possible here right?). As Peter did form the band for God sake, and "successful" or not, whether people want to ackknowledge it or not, the band did exist after BN. (these lineups weren't given a fair chance by the Warners marketing people, the public etc. so to let Billy and most importantly, Peter, (the reason anyone in FM is here today) to have one lousy song each is more than fair but this remains to be seen I guess). As it is, it's a shame that the post Green pre BN stuff is only given a "nod" to by BN clips of "Why" & "Station man" because that's the only footage available from the list semi relevant to that time frame but this "nod" has been considered acceptable so hopefully the Green & Burnette one song each idea can be at least considered too.
Also, I thought having "Go your own way" from the brits would keep the 1997 fans happy as they would get at least two songs from that time (if the dance stuff comes off and if "Silver springs" or whatever is left on from "The dance" then they would have three) and "Rosebud" fans would not lose out dramatically as "Rosebud" would still be well represented by other clips going by what is on the "best of 1" list now. Hopefully I'm not alone in these thoughs but we'll see I guess.
