Polls are fine, for the most part. I personally just thought the Weezer one didn't make any sense, but I've enjoyed most of your other ones.

People don't like them because they often don't supply sufficient options, pointless questions, and for the most part what's the point really? If you want to know people's favorite songs of the 1970s you can look at the stats and see what the common choices are. I mean all this thread is really going to prove is that dadrockers like Led Zeppelin songs and The Who and the 2edgy4u folks like songs from Tago Mago. What do we get out of this? All of this can be explained in charts and it leads to more bickering than actually quality discussion about music.

Maybe just space them out a bit and we won't notice so much. 😉

Why do I have to treat you two like children?

Jason, just don't engage JMan for the rest of the night please.
If I catch you picking at him, you're banned for a day.

JMan, shut up about the voting thing already please.
If you don't drop it, you're banned for a day.

Off the top of my head, in no order:

Kangaroo by Big Star
Stroke It Noel by Big Star
Girl by Suicide
Non-Alignment Pact by Pere Ubu
Halleluwah by Can
Paperhouse by Can
Jungle Fire by Tim Buckley
Little Red Riding Hood Hit the Road by Robert Wyatt
1970 by The Stooges
From the Morning by Nick Drake
Free Ride by Nick Drake
Tangled Up in Blue by Bob Dylan
Africa Talks to You "The Asphalt Jungle" by Sly and the Family Stone

Ok that's enough for now. Probably missing a bunch of obvious ones and left off all jazz cause I'm not sure if calling them "songs" is correct...

I don't care what it's called. Next time, can you please just tell me instead of laughing? I'm still really mad about people blaming me for the weird vote.

Impossible to answer. The 70s are my bread and butter. I don't think I could narrow it down to 100.
