Double Yellow Line

[chas_kit]

Just noticed this received a 5 in TBM, while Talk Talk received (deservedly) a 10.

Wow! I would have rated Double Yellow Line a 9 or 10.

Yeah, that surprised me too, although I rated the song "7".

Here is the vote breakdown

#3,042 out of nearly 15,000 (current standing, it will change a bit after adding the new and unrated-in-TBM songs)

8-1 7-1 6-3 5-4 3-1 yields a 5.600 mean.

I agree. Many Music Machine recordings (except for Talk Talk) are under-rated, not just in TBM but in pop music history generally. Just play "Double Yellow Line" and imagine seeing/hearing that played live!

That's weird. I gave it a 7 also. But you only show one 7 vote.

Duh, I gave it an 8! My eyes are goin' wonky lately....Rich gave it a 7. Bosshoss did not vote.

My Music Machine ratings were as follows:
Talk Talk = 10
Come On In = 9
The People In Me = 9
Masculine Intuition = 9
Absolutely Positively = 9
Bottom Of The Soul = 9
Mother Nature Father Earth = 9
Double Yellow Line = 8
Me Myself & I = 8
Soul Love = 8
Eagle Never Hunts The Fly = 7
You'll Love Me Again = 6
Advise & Consent = 6
I've Loved You = 5
Wrong = 5
Hey Joe = 4
Tin Can Beach = 1
To The Light = 1

That's what I call fair and reasonable ratings for the genius of the Music Machine!

Happy you stoked the dreamy ballad - Come On In - with high marks.
