Fans of the old gods love to use Tuesday as a reason to break out their Týr tee shirts and other memorobilia, but most of us don't know what to do with it. Americans treat it as a good day to vote, only we don't do that very often. Problem drinkers treat it as back-to-work day. In the Orthodox world, John the Baptist is held up on Tuesday. Tuesday's a good day to fatten up before Lent, crash a stock market, or launch a new Microsoft patch.

Not a vote but another contendah

I'm thinking these monster polls are just preliminary play and we'll have to go World Cup-like and break into group play in order to arrive at something conclusive.

Jeez, who's the host for Badfinger?

The Pogues

The Pogues song has no business being that good, does it? An interloper nineties lineup with their tin whistle player defaulting to lead vocals and they get their biggest stateside hit that actually is a damned cool song.

Spider Stacy on vocals in the original and Chevron in the live shows I saw too. It really is a great song, great bass beat too.

It's funny. I always think "Tuesday Afternoon" is by Badfinger. Then the orchestrations get lusher and lusher and lusher, and vocal echo gets deeper and deeper, and I think, "Fuck it, this is the Moody Blues. Badfinger did that other Tuesday song. "Tuesday Afternoon" is pretty but collapses under its own weight. And it certainly isn't the only MooBlue song you can say that about.

And on that note, I took the Moody Blues. Love that song.

For a Ramones fan, Kong fears no big production, and makes no apologies.

Days of Future Passed works better as a full album, but you need to get the fader working early if listening only to individual tracks.

If I could change my vote I would change it to Tuesdays gone

You all know I'm a big Cat fan but if I was making a CD mix of Tuesday songs it would evolve around the Stones Ruby Tuesday. That song is etched into the musical nostalgia section of my brain more than any other Tuesday song. Never a big Stones fan, always liked em a lot but bought maybe three of their albums over the years. So this surprises even me.

There's a lot of good cooby material in this thread. Did you go for Cat?

No, I voted for Tuesday Afternoon, but before I even read what you had said I thought "That's a great song, but almost overbearing in a way. It makes me think of kindergarten and missing my mom".

Not at all. I knew this pool would be cooby's great clash of coobyvalues.

Skynyrd was my second, Smithereens my third.

I won't argue this, because it's a taste thing, not a merit-judgement thing (not really, anyway), but I'll just say it, and leave it there, and never really say it again, I promise: I hate Skynyrd. I mean, I really hate Skynyrd. The aesthetic, the noodling, the redneck shufflin', the stupid Ys... I hate it, hate it, hate it like it punched my mother in the face and then made a racist joke about my daughter.

That's a brave vote. That's the sort of brand resistance we could all use a little more of.
