I must say, I wish I was a blogger sooner. I failed in giving you my list, but I'm sure it wouldn't have changed anything or any songs. I read the list, and I noticed that I have not heard some. I was wondering if you would have them available at your humble abode (considering I will be joining you tomorrow for your eldest sibling, I don't want to post his/her name over the internet, not like it would matter or anything!)?

Thank you sooo much for that list! I thought I was going to go crazy!!! To bad 'With or Without You' wasn't first, but I think I can accept second place!

Awesome! That is a great group of songs. I have not heard all of them, but a majority I have. Tell your "eldest sibling" I said Happy Birthday!

Wow, that's amazing! I could definitely see the Where The Streets Have No Name winning, but I was suprised about a couple things, one being that I was sure that Pride (In The Name Of Love) would score a top ten hit, and I was really suprised that Honeysuckle Breeze was there, because no one comment-voted for it. To Foolish Knight: How many people sent theirs in or gave you a physical copy instead of posting theirs? I'd be interested to know. Also, how many people in all participated in this event?

To Nathan John, yes I did make and submit a list, I am, after all, my most loyal reader and I will be posting the list shortly.

To Joel, there were eleven voters all together, three of whom submitted their votes "under the table", I had them do this because I wanted to make sure that there were still some "jokers" in the proverbial "deck".

To the last three who commented, all I can say is that life's tough. I set out to make a top ten list, not a top twenty and I thought it best to stick to the original plan; however you are welcome to hold your own vote and tally as many results as you want, but I think you'll find it's harder work than you think.

Thats ok, we will forgive you! Well, i will! i know how it feels when you are pushed into doing something.

I sure this is probably in the back of your mind already, but I think you should do a book and/or movie list too. That would be a lot of fun!!!

I agree with Joel, but I've only read a few books I guess I could submit a list of my favorite books ( even if I haven't read them ). I could do the movie one. I think it would be great fun!

Meiska said...

Thank you for holding the vote and tallying the votes up! I certainly wouldn't like to have that job! But anyway, I appreciate it.
