Unca Marvy's Yesterday's Memories R&B Party

Results of my 2010 group survey

After the dust had settled, I managed to coerce 74 people into casting votes. Second best response ever! (Once again, just to fool you into thinking it was an honest contest, I didn't vote myself.) For those of you with short memories, I asked for up to 10 favorite songs, in order, for the Pearls and related groups.

So here are the results. But first, the boring statistics:

The top song was "Let's You And I Go Steady." At 439 points, it trails only the Counts' "Darling Dear" (558 points) and the Crows' "Gee" (550 points) as the all-time highest vote-getter.
You either loved "Let's You And I Go Steady" or you were indifferent to it; almost all of its votes were for first or second place.
The best showing for a song that got NO number 1 votes was "More Than The Day Before" (it's number 13 with 103 points).
More than half the songs accumulated under 100 points. Many of you said you weren't familiar with these.

And now, without too much further delay: THE RESULTS (Ta-Da!).
I assigned a weight to each vote - 10 points for #1; 9 points for #2; etc.

The results appear below.
