So, due to the semi-popular demand, I am running, along with Paul, who will do all the hard work, A list of the top 500 Empire songs. I have picked 500 in the hope we can make a better list than Rolling Stones list. We'll aceept lists of 50, or 100 songs, they don't have to have been singles or whatever, just make sure you specify artist and album. Would people rather I set up an email address or do they want to do lists on thread? I don't mind either way.

EMAIL: empiresingleslist@gmail.com
Limit: 100

If we post lists in thread people will be able to comment on my impeccable taste.

But perhaps more practically, email would probably be better for big lists.

Can we specify a certain version of a song?

Oh yeah, I think we should specify song and artists, so if you wanted to include 50 versions of Louie Louie, or evem 50 different remixes of Bad Romance on your lists, then go ahead.

Yeah, I remember the thread, I just couldn't remember who did that picture. It's genius.

Btw, I got the Nicola Roberts album, but haven't listened yet. Been too busy with the new Springsteen and the Childish Gambino album.

It's worked for all the other polls, so I'd say yes. PMs can get lost, and posting on the thread will lead to endless mockery

400 isn't 300.

Well no, it's more.

Yes, but it's not 300. You didn't say anything about not voting for more than 300.

I was planning on doing that, but then spent about 15 minutes trying to decide which The Who song to have and abandoned the idea. I'm doing a maximum 3 songs per artist, 1 song per album.
