53 Elvis Presley — Suspicious Minds +4

46 T. Rex — Ride A White Swan 

37 Deep Purple — Black Night

35 The Moody Blues — Question 

27 T. Rex — Jeepster

16 The Kinks — Lola -6

[Sir Creep 7,033]

I would have climbed on board the ‘get rid of the lesser TRex song’ had you people chose the correct one to champion.  Jeepster is the second best song remaining imho.
 

With only one song to drop, I can’t look at this list and come up with Lola as the worst of the bunch.

Ok I edited my post so that it was +2 and +2 for both T.Rex songs. If everyone above has done the right scoring and copied from my post then the current results should be this:

 

57 Elvis Presley — Suspicious Minds

45 T. Rex — Ride A White Swan 

35 The Moody Blues — Question 

27 Deep Purple — Black Night

24 The Kinks — Lola

18 T. Rex — Jeepster

 

If not then ignore me.

Considering how few songs there are, people are getting surprisingly sloppy with basic maths and removing previous scores.

Worst thing about this game is that it made me realize that I actually really enjoy Gary Glitter's music, I know that he's a paedo, but we're voting for the songs and not the person.

Yes. At last someone that votes for the song and not the (reputation of) the singer/band.

Last list was better... I'm practicing my "suspicious minds" for karaoke right now. Not trying to do the Elvis voice, just the emotions; this is potentially a huge mess.
