Mount Rushmore - Roman numerals from the pop/rock music era

They can be in song titles, album titles, lyrics, band names, artist names, or somewhere else I'm not thinking of.

For bonus points, what radio song recently triggered this thought for me?

Abe Sargent · 04-20-2017, 10:51 AM

Were you rewatching some Square One reruns?

I believe they used S's for their fractions if my memory from a high school math teacher is correct.

EDIT: Looks like 2/3 is S: (At least from Wikipedia) and my teacher may have over-simplified the "S" thing as well.

This was my first thought as well.

Officially Zeppelin IV didn't have a title. It was the four rune symbols.

Nah, boring answer, just Synchronicity II

(Synchronicity I > Synchronicity II IMO BTW)

cuervo72 · 04-25-2017, 08:54 AM

I know, from a meaningful perspective II beats I. I happen to like the relative chaos and mania in the sound of I.

Butter · 04-25-2017, 09:40 AM

Well you're wrong. I'm with Kickstand on this one.

Every single meeting
with his so-called "superior"
is a humiliating kick in the crotch

QuikSand · 04-26-2017, 08:23 PM

Just thought about Boyz II Men. I think that probably makes the list, they had some dizzying high points.

That's a good call. Cooleyhighharmony was huge and II was even bigger. I still like the first one better. Just read through some of their history and forgot that they were the third act to have a #1 song on the Hot 100 chart bumped from that spot by another one of their songs (Elvis and The Beatles the first two).

They also have the song with the longest run on top of the Hot 100, and also tied for 2nd longest run.
