MyGNR's "Top 10 GN'R Songs" VOTING THREAD... "Round One!"

[Estranged Reality]

In the immortal words of an out-of-breath Axl Rose, "Round one!"

These are the 10 best GN'R songs, as voted for by you, MyGNRForum members! I have randomized the ranking of the songs in the polling list, so they don't appear in the order that they did when we tallied up the votes from the other thread. Why are there actually 11? Because there was a two-way tie between the tenth place title, so I had to usher them both into the list!

In round one, you can select 8 out of 10 11 songs to advance to the next round. Whichever three tracks get the least votes will be axed from the next poll.

Round One will run through Sunday, Sep 8 (ends at 12am Monday). The next poll will go live some time Monday morning eastern time, and it will allow the top five tracks to advance. After that, a poll with the top three, the top two... you get the idea. Doing it this way will keep it moving along swiftly, and give everyone a chance to vote, without dragging it on so much that people lose interest. (If only one song got knocked off per poll, it would take eleven polls til we had a winner, and that would become tiresome.) All in all we'll probably get the final poll finished next week, and then we'll have a rank-ordered list of the top ten songs based on everyone's votes in the polls. At this point I'll release the full Excel sheet that shows the initial votes (from the other thread), which songs were ranked the highest, etc., and in what order - and we can compare them to how people voted in the polls, and see if the outcome was the same or not.

So get voting! And have fun.

DISCLAIMER: By allowing 'multiple choice votes,' theoretically someone could vote for all 11 titles. I'm trusting you all not to do that. Please only choose eight tracks in this poll. Be honest and don't rig the system. I've enabled public voting so that if anyone DOES vote for more than eight tracks, we can name and shame them. Thanks, and hopefully this all isn't too convoluted and makes sense. If anyone has suggestions for the next round for improving this system, let me know - if anyone knows of a good poll site that also limits the number of votes someone can make, please let me know.

[maynard]

The CD basher here couldn't NOT include Better. I'm such a fanboy.

You deceived me, son.

[Silent Jay]

Come on, Better and There Was A Time people!

[WFA]

I only voted for the CD songs. I can't believe only 2 made the cut

[Powerage5]

Voted for everything except Jungle, NR, and SCOM.

[Free Bird]

Didn't vote for Better, Twat and Jungle

[DieselDaisy]

Sans TWAT, Better and Coma.

[bacardimayne]

SCOM is seriously losing to Civil War and Coma right now?

Voted everything but Civil, Coma and Jungle.

[Mr. Dude]

Didn't vote for SCOM, NR, or Coma.

[BreakDown2014]

- Jungle, SCOM and Rocket Queen. Really tough shit,

[Broskirose]

Band sucks, null vote.

(also where is Prostitute?)

Prostitute got a decent number of votes, but missed the top 10 by a little bit. IIRC it got around 30 votes and most of the top ten were around 50 +.

The #1 song actually won by a landslide... I'm curious to see whether the same thing happens here.

[magisme]

lol Better, TWAT and Civil War

I'm a little surprised that SCOM is losing. Fine with me, just surprised. The most I've enjoyed that song in recent years is when Randy Ram makes his final ring entrance. It made for a great climax.

[Estranged Reality]

i pretty much had a feeling this is what would happen - most fans on these forums love the big tunes, but obviously, being a fan forum, there are going to be way more people voting for the so-called 'deep cuts' (like estranged) versus the big radio jams like Paradise City (which didn't get many votes, tbh). Not because they're bad songs, but because die-hard fans are perhaps burnt out on them to a degree, and would prefer to give adoration to the lesser-known tracks.

[WFA]

The fact Prostitute and Madagascar didn't make it but Civil Bore and Sweet Child O Mine did is embarrassing

[Kittiara]

Tough choice, but didn't vote for Nightrain, Better or TWAT. Not opposed to CD songs, but I prefer This I Love and Madagascar from that album.

[bacardimayne]

lol Better, TWAT and Civil War

All leagues above Coma.

[Underhardy]

didn't vote Civil War Coma and Better.

[magisme]

lol Better, TWAT and Civil War

All leagues above Coma.

Nah. As flawed as Coma is, it's best moments are about as good as GNR gets.
