We could split out the non-hit favorites for each songwriter separately.

I'm torn! They're all good. I'll have to think it over.

Me too. Will have a think on it. Forerunner at the moment is choice B - non hit.

Glad to see you interested in the next contest. I remember our discussions on the one back in 2010.

Generally, as long as there is a Stevie song in the poll, it will win regardless.

That's the way I was thinking. Check back on my threads from August-Dec of 2010 for the favorite song contest. I broke up each album by the 3 different vocalists, got a winner for each vocalist on that album, and then had those songs battle for favorite song from that album.

I voted for the best-of lists- it would be nice to have a well-rounded compilation put together for each songwriter.

Me too, that would be a great compromise!

Choice A - Best of.....

Can we do all these polls one after the other?

This is MacShadowsBall's thread. Ofcourse she'll get around to making a poll of all three. That's what she does best: pole dancing.

I love all of these ideas but... I voted for non hit. I think it would be interesting to see what could come out on top!

Perhaps there should be a contest of our favorite poll.

I think that the concept of contests that pitch songs against songs are ridiculous. But to each its own. Over time I've lost interest in them. Yet interestingly, I still have interest in poles. (insert smirky smile here).

That's because your avatar is a penguin and gravitates North.

I went with A. It could be fun, grueling, and a little bit offensive.

Trying to narrow Stevie's/Lindsey's/Christine's entire catalog, both solo and FM down to 6 songs each? Sonds like a blast!
