[T-Dogz_AK47]

I'm voting for John Lennon.... Imagine that! LOL!

[Tommy]

I love John Denver! :excited:

[mae]

I'm surprised this is even close.

[Ben Staad]

John Denver.

[Girlystevedave]

Imagine is one of the most beautiful things ever written.

[ladysai]

You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

[Sai Sheb]

Com on Denver...

[mae]

This is utterly shocking, a tie? I thought this would've been a 100% to 0% blow out.

[Jon]

"Take Me Home, Country Roads" is so poetic.

[mae]

And another 11-11 tie here. I am flabbergasted!

[Iwritecode]

Voted for Lennon

[mae]

And tied at 12. Amazing.

[divemaster]

Well, if it ends up a tie, I sure want to get my vote in against John Lennon's song praising communist utopia. I wonder how the Cubans and North Koreans feel about life with no possessions and no religion. How's that working out for ya?

[St. Troy]

I voted for John Denver.

[mae]

For the record, with about 24 hours to go we are tied at 12 and stated votes appear to favor "Take Me Home, Country Roads" 6-5.

What do you mean by stated votes? The people who said in the thread how they voted?

[mae]

Right, that's the first tiebreaker.

[Brice]

I voted Imagine.

[racerx45]

You can put me down for Imagine also.

[Ben Staad]

Take me home

[Jean]

Denver took me by surprise and I nearly actually voted for him

because you know - Imagine is like, I don't know, Mozart Symphony #40. You know it so well and it's so fucking eternally good, that it's easy to forget someone actually wrote it, it hasn't been around forever, and is not just a phenomenon of nature, like rain or sunshine

in the end did the right thing, of course

***

I can't believe that I've broken the tie with my vote.
Wonders never cease.

Superb comment! I couldn't agree more! :clap::clap::clap:

Doing the 'right thing' just earned you some rep points my friend!!! :thumbsup:

[mae]

The poll has closed. "Imagine" will face Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen the Rain (1970) in the second round.
