Best of the Best
 

After nearly nine months, the FD survivors have nearly drawn to a close. But there is one more left - a quest to find the Manics' greatest song.
This will be a return to the traditional format, where the least popular song is voted off each day.
The results are in... MOTORCYCLE EMPTINESS is the band's greatest song as voted by you, with just 7 of 22 of you (32%) favouring Masses Against the Classes.

Which two fools voted for Donkeys?! Can't believe Heyday of the Blood and The Sound of Detachment won their respective polls previously as well!

Predictions of winners:

Motorcycle Emptiness
Motown Junk

Europa Geht Durch Mich and Heyday of the Blood are first out the door.

Also spotted GT in the CD section of my local Poundland earlier, along with some other decent albums, namely Astral Weeks by Van Morrison, Screamadelica by Primal Scream, Discovery by Daft Punk, New Adventures in Hi-Fi by R.E.M. and a Supergrass compilation. Still beats the myriad of 00s pop garbage they usually serve up there, I guess.

:eh: HOTB is amazing... I missed this poll yesterday, oh well.

I'll say one thing, these polls have really surprised and shocked me at various times. lol.

Wow, Europa is one of my favourites! So with you not voting tomorrow and that song being voted out, it's the referendum all over again!
And you might have voted in the referendum, Porco, I just know loads who thought there was no point in voting because Remain would win.
Now I just need to be reported to the DWP and the groundhog day can continue.

Second out are Send Away the Tigers and A Soundtrack to Complete Withdrawal.

I demand the reinstatement of your witty song dismissal lines.

We say Auf Weidersehen to Europa Geht Durch Much...
Gone to the past Heyday Of The Blood...
Send Away The Tigers sent off
And somebody changed the record on A Soundtrack For Complete Withdrawal.

Those were hit and miss, but you do them better!

Puns are back by popular demand! Golden Platitudes got too deep, got too involved and The Sound of Detachment gouged its eyeballs out again.

30-Year War was killed in the name of liberty.
We Were Never Told washed away its fears.

*fist-bumps*

I can't choose the album tracks anymore, it's too hard!

hahah, I know, right? This is going to be brutal...

Complete stumped so have now started to look at results before hand.
Really, really pissed off I voted for my favourite "ALL ALONE HERE"!

Intravenous Agnostic was destructed at birth and All Alone Here has been left all alone... here.
