That would eliminate about a half-dozen Led Zeppelin tunes. Not to mention
AC/DC, Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd...hey, now that I think about it, my local
classic rock station only plays about a half-dozen songs total. ;-)

Try some soap and warm water. That'll loosen it right up.

No, I think the reason only one person voted for Reaper is because every
Reaper fan probably figured a hundred others were going to vote for it, so
why bother? It happens. Political elections (in very tiny towns) have been
lost that way.

Or it's just that a lot of people like Reaper, but it's not their absolute
favorite single. Maybe if they did top 10 it would've earned a lot of votes.
