Top Ten EC Tracks Ever

Post by so lacklustre »

Let's get this board fizzing.

RULES
1. One entry each
2. No changing once you've posted
3. Include 10 tracks ONLY
4. They Have to be ordered
5. Do not include =
6. Do not list different versions, just the song will do.

POINTS
1. = 10 points
2. = 9 points
etc.

I will keep score, and will post the result at the end of June although I may post interim scores each week, if I can be arsed.

After much discussion with multiple selfs, here is mine.

1. Lipstick Vogue - 10pts
2. King Horse - 9pts
3. Possession - 8pts
4. Radio Radio - 7pts
5. Goon Squad - 6pts
6. Alibi - 5pts
7. All Grown Up - 4pts
8. Riot Act - 3pts
9. The Other Side Of Summer - 2pts
10. Party Girl - 1pt

Y'all don't need to put the pts in, I just did it to try and make the system clearer than bambooneedle's.

Happy thinking!

4. My Dark Life
5. God Give Me Strength
6. So Like Candy

Hmmm, lot's of ballads :?

This was very hard to do. All I did was swap this song for that song until I couldn't do it any more. I came up with this but.......


1. This Years Girl
2. Beyond Belief
3. Deep, Dark Truthful Mirror
4. Sulky Girl
5. WIWC (Cruel Smile version)
6. The Other End of the Telescope
7. Big Tears
8. Radio, Radio
9. Imagination (Is A Powerful Deceiver)
10. I Wanna Be Loved


.......I would like to propose that we poll the ten LEAST favourite EC songs. A much easier task, for me, anyway. And I think that would be pretty interesting as well.

(Have you done this already?)

SweetPear,

Just to clarify, do you mean When I Was Cruel no.2, or the Cruel Smile version?

I may run the least favourite poll after this one is finished.

The least favourite shouldn't be too bad - all I'd have to do is dig out The Juliet Letters - I'm sure all 10 of them are on there!

And as far as 10 favourites is concerned - no chance. By the time I compile it, the new album will be out and there'll be some new ones!

What the heck, why can't I do the quotes correctly?

I think I metioned earlier...this is just too damn hard. I couldn't pick a top ten out of E.C.'s catalog to save my life!! So, I'll just content myself to check out everybody else's lists. Who knows, inspiration may yet knock...

Pip and Sulky......I totally agree. I hated trying to pick out ten favourite songs when there probably aren't even ten songs of Elvis' I dislike. (Actually that would be pretty easy by just saying Ana Solfie/For the Stars or whatever it was. But whatever it was, it was soooo awful.)

Maybe I could live with the top 25 favourite Elvis songs. After all the man's got an incredible catalogue.
