I'm still pretty glad with the results, even though this top 10 has no song from my own list.
Goofing Off live must be quite something!

I had one in the Top Ten, four in the Top Twenty, and one for which mine was the only vote. So much fun! Thanks for doing this.

Only Equator from my top 10 made it to the final top 10, but the result is a great set of choices.

This was good fun ... thanks, Kermit!

Kermit!, I think we should reinvigorate this thread to look at whose top 10 choices most came true, based on the actual setlists ...

So, based on Oxford's setlist, I only scored 1.5 / 10

(the 0.5 being We Love Annette, which wasn't played... but...)

Curious why 'Goofing Off' has never been played after its rapturous reception at 21 x 21. Slot in after MTYCDT and WDIGTSMW and there'd be utter bedlam

Hilarious! Yes, according to the instructions, the poll will be open until the end of time.Even though it wasn't on my list, I would support Barbecutie without reservations.

Oh that's a shame your top 10 was sent in late RobC cos you have a good choice of songs there. It was great to see everybody's top 10s as they were all so erratic. I think the results had some surprises but it turned out to be a fantastic overall view of us Sparks fans good choice of their best songs.

To those querying the cut off date & wether it should still be open.....you all knew what I meant really, even if I might have not explained it so good. I'm 63 now & I had a lot of votes to count, so please forgive me for any misunderstandings. Fewer brain cells these days....Lol.....!!
I guess there's nothing to stop anyone posting their top 10s if they still want to, like you have, but the poll is finished so it would be just for fun.

I still like taking a look at last years snapshot poll & it's great results. A good guide for any new fans that don't know where to start & vital knowledge of all things good as well.
I also wanted to highlight the topic again before it gets deleted because of nobody looking at it now.
I'm so glad that so many got on board with it too & thanks again to everyone who contributed.
