The Sly & The Family Stone song?

While I never liked them, I at least gave them props for playing their own instruments, and writing their own song... two things that were pretty rare in the charts at the time

If you lived in the UK during the 90's, you wouldn't have been able to get away from them :|

Exactly.We don't seem to have the :puke: emoticon on here anymore, because that line, and the way it's sung, is worthy of it's use I somehow managed to forget about that song, and that line, for the first two rounds, otherwise I would have voted it off from the start

Lizzy Lizzy Lizzy Love the Renegade album, especially Angel of Death and the title track

Or The Rutles - Get Up and Go :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amiBTezWKqQ

Get Back... mainly due to the iconic rooftop concert

I had to vote "neither" for the last question. Though I would say I find Presto more consistent, while Roll the Bones has higher highs, but also lower lows

I seem to be going against the flow, but Uriah Heep is my 2nd favourite band, after Rush

Now that you mention it... I'm not really that big a fan of it.It's just that I'm even less of a fan of the title track

Hm, I've never noticed a significant drop in volume. I wish I wouldn't notice it, too :(

Seconds Out suffers a little for me due to the band petulantly burying Steve Hackett in the mix because he quit the band during mixing of the album. The worst offender, for me, may be Firth of Fifth, where the volume drop off between the keyboard solo and the guitar solo is very noticeable. If I could hear Steve Hackett more, it would be a perfect live album.

Here's a relisten for you:http://youtu.be/5-tqtgQFcHc Thanks. Yeah, it's alright. I prefer the other three in the poll... but it's alright. Thanks for the reminder

The title track is one that always passed me by unnoticed, until they included it in the setlist for the Time Machine tour. It still pretty much passes me by unnoticed. Apart from the line "If I could wave my magic wand", I honestly can't remember much else about it off the top of my head right now :huh:

Love Heaven and Hell, but never really got into Mob Rules, so I went After the Gold Rush for the album, but Sabbath for the artist

You've been going deeeeep into some old threads here :D

:laughing guy: Good one

U2 have never done anything for me, while I looooove Queen. Especially 70's Queen

Without the immunities, the results would likely be just like they are in any other favourite song poll. Check the results in the Totem Polls subforum.It's the immunities, and the tactical voting nature, that actually turns it into more of a game (this IS in the games subforum, after all)

It's max(E - I), with the tb lost by the song with the most eliminate votes. Bullshit. Immunity is not conditional as in "This song is immune as long as it doesn't get the most votes to be eliminated." It's a fair way to run this, but perhaps hi-water could have used a different term than immune. Why bother with the concept at all if it's not going to mean anything? If a song gets the most immunity votes, but also gets the most elimination votes, it is immune, even if it gets more elimination votes than it got immunity votes. Maybe there could definitely be a better term than "immune". But the purpose of "immune" is to take away 'eliminate' points. For example if a song had 5 eliminate votes, but 3 immune votes, then it would only count as 2 eliminate votes. Immune could sometimes mean the song is immune for that round, but in some cases, no. That's how I've always understood the rules :huh:

Happy Birthday

I did :madra:

No time to argue. Throw me the idol, and I'll throw you the whip

While the "slow dirge" is my favourite track, I do actually really enjoy the whole HYF album :) Yeah I do, and when I say "slow dirge" it's just a phrase for within the confines of this thread, where it's a kind of Lord of the Flies situation for RUSH songs. I could have sworn before my hiatus, HYF was generally a well received album around here.I guess with old members leaving, and new members arriving, the balance has shifted against it
