Amount of difference in points between Red at Night and Red in the Morning: 32 points

Red at Night was 1 person's 2nd favorite Gaslight song

She Loves You received a surprising amount of top 25 votes yet not enough to bring it up from the Honorable Mentions section

You guys have a lot of trouble spelling some of the song titles. In some cases, they were actually wrong (High and Lonesome)

Only ONE person voted for a song twice in their top 25. I recorded the higher vote and disregarded the lower vote

Three songs that appeared together in the top 5 the most: 1930, Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts and Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis? (Seems that if you like one, you like the other two pretty strongly as well)

7 points separated the 14th from the 19th favorite song.

1 point separated songs 3 and 4

1 point separated songs 7 and 8

3 points separated songs 23 and 25




That's it for now. Hope you guys had a blast with this. I know I did. Let's do this again in 5 years or so

Wow, these results are really interesting! I think everyone did a great job predicting what the top 5 would be. 1930 was an obvious #1, but there are a few surprises too. I'm shocked that The Backseat didn't crack the top 25!

Vibes, thank you soooooo much for all of your hard work and for organizing this poll. You're a rockstar!!

thnx for publishing, i was already sooo curious about the results.


seems like i do not really fit in. none of the following: elvis, blue jeans & 1930 appears in my top 5, my number 1 is not even included (sooo sad about meet my be the river's edge =() and my number 2 is ranked 25...

was fun though

Vibes! Thank you soo much! You got some crazy fingers there!

This is tight tho, like half of my would be top five (I missed the voting ) didn't make the 25 lol! Im very okay with that. I'm proud of Elvis hittin 5, very cool. These lists are so difficult to conjure up because EVERY SONG IS SOO GOOD! so We all know that we love em all, I mean, we are here aren't we

haha, cool. cowgirls' my number 7 & we did when we were young my number 6^^

and you're right, all songs are great, some just appeal a lot more to me than others

Wait, Red In The Morning got *last*? I'm shocked. One of the best song of SOS. I had it at #11 overall.

Disappointed TSOJ wasn't higher. Such a perfect song. Hopefully it will go up next time =P.

I take it because you didn't even mention it in the covers God's Gonna Cut You Down didn't get any votes as well? Thought about putting that at 25. Kinda surprised it didn't chart. Maybe not enough people know it exists.

Can you tell us how many first place votes each song got?

Even Cowgirls... was my number one. :/

The top five that I voted for:

1. Even Cowgirls Get The Blues
2. High Lonesome
3. She Loves You
4. Old Haunts
5. We Came To Dance

I did a little math of my own to figure out the album totals and this is what I got:

Total Points:
1. The '59 Sound 2154
2. Sink or Swim 2093
3. Senor & The Queen 1231
4. American Slang 1165

Average Points of ranked songs
1. SATQ 307.75
2. T59S 269.25
3. SoS 261.625
4. AS 233

Anything else yall wanna know?

thanks Vibes...surprised by the results. no backseats and was so kinda surprised bring it on made that high.

haha. the top four are all the top four i predicted. and the amount of songs from each record represented in the top 25 are pretty close to the amounts i chose, albeit not the same order. i didn't include covers...i just forgot about it til i was done with my list, and by then i didn't feel like trying to figure it out again, but i doubt it would have changed my list much, but if i included any covers they would have been "left of the dial" and "once upon a time".

i'm surprised that "we're getting a divorce" is only #18, people go nuts for song, esp. considering DCSC rated higher...

overall, i'd say the top 25 would make a kickass setlist. vibes, maybe you should email that to the band. the fan chosen top 25. haha. seriously though, thanks for doing all the work on this.

this is super interesting! unfortunately i didn't make it in time to submit my tops, but its so cool to see what people picked. thanks for doing this!

I sent the results to Benny and Brian this morning

wootwoot, let's see if it's got effects on future playlists^^

1. Bring It On
2. Meet Me By The River's Edge
3. Stay Lucky
4. Miles Davis & the Cool
5. The Diamond Church Street Choir

I guess I favor the last 2 albums more than the average fan. Didn't vote, but this would've been my top 5... Bring It On is my favorite song of all time.

Thank you so much for putting that together!

Bring It On was my #1 glad to see it do the best of all the American Slang songs.... It's quite a tune!

That certainly is different from my top 10, all great songs though.

Nice to see Angry Johnny get some loving. I had it number 2!
