Kill or Save: UK No.1-hits of the 60s

[Book 3,545]

 

 

 

Welcome to the fourth Kill or Save on DeathList!

 

 

“Kill or Save” is all about finding the best or the favorite song within one topic.

Initially, each song has 20 points. To increase or decrease the number of points, you can award 4 points and subtract 6 in each round. Deduction and addition of points can vary, e.g. add 2 x 2 points or subtract 2 x 3 points.

You always have to use the last vote as a guide.

For a better overview, please mark your voting (e.g. + 2, + 4 or -3, - 6) and classify the song according to its current value.

 

Important: You can only vote once a day to keep it fair. Please date your daily voting with an exact date, e.g. “22.08.2023” or “July 13th 2023”, not just “today”.

 

Otherwise, I would like to thank all the players who are a bit careful and attentive! Thank you very much!

To be fair I'm not familiar to most of the songs. And I don't like most of the songs I know

I have to take a little time to listen to a lot of songs.

The early 60s are not my kind of favorite music. I hope it will get better through the years...

I'm guessing I won't be alone in listening to a lot of songs I've never heard of before to make an informed choice, but that's half the enjoyment.

Jesus Mary and Joseph at a bukkake party. What a bag of bollocks. I’ve got some YouTubing to do later, mind, to familiarise myself with some of them. Will need a drink first, I reckon.

Think I know 10 of them, of which a couple I expect to be up the top end but much of the rest I've no idea on, so like others will have to have a listen. 

 

Corrected the scores as requested I think, should be right now.

You could just copy mine and then update for your scores which are simpler...

Think they're right now, just give it a quick check? Tricky on my phone, but thankfully didn't need to move many around, just adjust their scores.
