Albums and Songs of the 1970s Poll: Results! At long last, the results of the 1970s poll are ready to be unveiled! Check out the individual lists if you like on the two poll pages: Part 1, Part 2
I will start with the results of the songs poll. This means that album lists are still welcome! Send me an orgNote if you'd still like to submit an album list.
This is the 4th installment in a series of decade polls that we've had this year! If you're curious about how the previous decades went, I'll link to those results.

Most of my songs just missed the top 100. | |

Same here!
116. "Riders on the Storm" was my number 4. 125. "Moonage Daydream" was my number 1. 131. "Atomic" was my number 3.
I'm actually quite shocked that my number 2 song made the top 100 while these ones missed the boat. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

Thank you Moonbeam!!!!
I appreciate your work and I do refer to these lists. I've been educated by you fellow .orgers with tastes outside my narrow soulful-funk, pro USA lean.

Why Have I got the feeling I was the only who voted for this jem, seriously you have all got to hear it So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Gah...I completely missed that on my list. It should be in my top 20, so if I hadn't blown that it may have made the 100 cut.
My top ten has appeared already except for my #1 pick. | |

That is crushing, I thought we at Prince.org would rate it much higher. This is classic early Grace Jones right here [Edited 9/19/10 4:01am] So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time | |

I did not expect my #5 and #7 songs to make the cut. I knew those would only be popular with me. But #1, 2 & 6 were big hits! I can see at least one other person voted for those three at least.
As for "Riders on The Storm", I think most people associate The Doors with the 60s even though L.A. Woman is considered one of their better albums. | |

Of my top 10, 6 have already shown up:
231 . The Spinners - It's a Shame (1) 112 . George Harrison - My Sweet Lord (5) 205 . The Jacksons - Show You the Way to Go (6) 185 . Stevie Wonder - Don't You Worry Bout a Thing (8) 127 . Michael Jackson - I Wanna Be Where You Are (9) 152 . Stevie Wonder - You Haven't Done Nothin' (10)
I expect the other four to all be in the top 100.
For the record, "Across the Universe" was originally released in December 1969. Otherwise, I would've voted for it. I can't believe a Beatles fan like Moonbeam missed that.
