[joggerjayne]

What the ...

Lark Ascending is Nr.1 again in the Classic FM Hall Of Fame.

Come on !! ... Recount !!

Okay, it's not a "terrible" tune, but ... Number One ?

Really ??

To make things worse, I've just seen that Stephen Fry, like me, thinks it should be Tannhauser.

Of COURSE it should be Tannhauser.

Now I suppose we're going to be inundated with Ralph bleeding Vaughan bleeding Williams for another year.

Aaaaaaaaagghhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we have the top three or four contestants put up for the AB judiciary....

[tonyav]

jj, is the vote by the general public ?.

[joggerjayne]

tony, yes it is.

[jim360]

If you think that's bad, explain what the hell the Sorcerer's Apprentice is doing never even in the charts. Ever.

DTC - have a wade through this (you can cheat and go direct to 50 down to 1)

Isn't it, jim?

They play it quite a lot on CFM. I'm really surprised it didn't get lots of votes.

[tonyav]

Well jj the public have spoken.

[joggerjayne]

A biased vote, methyl !

tony, what do the public know! (nothing, according to Tony Blair this week)

[tonyav]

jj, couldn't you have sorted some vote rigging out ;-)

[seadogg]

JJ, I know we are both Wagner lovers so why are you bothered with CFM Hall of Fame at all?

[DTCwordfan]

thanks Captain, Rach 2 for me, followed by the Beethoven as to the top 5.

[DTCwordfan]

Surprised it wasn't the release of the Knoxy Foxy Concerto - or maybe that's too soon for this years candidacy.

[joggerjayne]

We are, seadogg ... we luuuurve Wagner.

You're right. I shouldn't care at all.

[joggerjayne]

DT's first post ...

The top 3 were ...

Lark Ascending (Ralph VW)

Rach 2

Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis (yes, really!) (Ralph VW again)

[Captain2]

As I was looking through the list I got to wondering what constitutes 'Classical' music when I saw that the film music to Star Wars was quite high up. Anybody else think that this isn't 'Classical' in the true sense?

[jim360]

At number 9 was the soundtrack to a video game, Captain...

[seadogg]

"O Captain my Captain" the tinsel world has passed us by mate.

[Captain2]

Oh joy Jim! :-((

[DTCwordfan]

Does this qualify, A Salty Sea-Dogg....?
