- 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

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

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..

[elle]

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

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.

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

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.

[elle]

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]

[elle]

convincing win:

Frozen Love 21
Crystal 11

Frozen Love is moving to the next round.

[elle]

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.
