Tied at ten now. Need more votes! :panic:
I just noticed--is there any reason you linked the original (acoustic) version (released as The Sounds of Silence) rather than the 1965 remix? The remix version added the instrumentation that made the song a worldwide bestseller. If I'm voting on the acoustic version, I'm changing my vote.
FWIW, I voted Sound of Silence.
The original '64 version is what was nominated. The '65 remix is the same song with an overdub and reverb, performed without S&G's knowledge or consent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Silence So the song technically belongs to the first half of the sixties.
It's actually the same version, from the same 1964 album.
yes
I can't see the video in the first post of the thread, but if it the same as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kae_LoslXSk
then it definitely is the one and only original version, and the same as in T-Dogz_AK47's post (which I, miraculousely, can see)
I actually prefer the original slightly. But either way, it's a tremendous song.
Tight race
Yeah, I'm aware of that. But it's a good thing that someone had the foresight to remix it, b/c the original version was such a flop that S&G broke up. It was only after the remix version was released and became a hit that the act took off and became what we know today as Simon & Garfunkel. Without the remix, who knows what would have happened.
Anyway, it was such a close call for me, that this really does tip me back to The Eagles. I won't ask you to change my actual poll vote, though, b/c it was my fault for not realizing it was not the version I was used to.
If it comes down to it, though, my "stated vote" for tiebreaker purposes will be Hotel California.
I hope the Final doesn't come to stated votes, that would be awkward. Let's get a few more votes in, y'all lovely peeps!
I nominated both songs, so I'm going to chew them over a bit more before I cast my final vote. It's a tough choice. :thumbsup:
I think he was referring to me casting a poll vote one way, but then stating a different vote for the tie-breaker. I agree, that would be a bit...off.
that's precisely what I secretly dreamed of doing every time we were choosing between two awesome songs
Com on Tdogs don't hold us in suspense... which way you voting?
Still tied, y'all :panic:
I cast my vote for The Eagles tune.
Just in case it gets tied again, I went with SoS.
Wow, it's 12-11 now :excited:
If we go into overtime, a touchdown on the first possession wins it but if it's a field goal the other tune gets a chance to tie it right?
