How about just women solo or groups ? No duets with guys, no guys doing vocals as part of the group (but singing backup or playing instruments is OK). And if we're going to exclude any, how about the 6 that cyber said have more than 3 entries + any others who've been #1 ? OR if you want to make it "all new to the Ten" that's fine by me too. None of the 3 I have in mind have ever been in a TT. Timing - soon ! You do the opening post Kenne. I'm sure you'll do us proud. But NO male centerfold. OK ?

Yes, thanks Kenne. I wasn't sure if any of them would. The votes were certainly spread. I quite like Pink. She's shown a great sense of humour in all the times I've seen her interviewed, and doesn't seem to take herself as seriously as some of those 'would be divas'. She's coming to Australia later this year, as you probably know. Maybe my grandaughter might take me to see her.

Yes, that's far too young. I included both #s 9 and 10 in my votes. Thanks to Jenny and Kenne for introducing me to those songs, although I think I've heard my grandaughter playing the 'Pink' song before.

I haven't been around for a while. I just logged in now to check the Ten. It makes me very pleased that an Instrumental (basically - I know there's some dialogue) has made #1. Good nomination Laurie

Not sure about that one. He might just have been paranoid (but from the lyrics we know he's not, of course). My all time favourite Eagles' song. That would be a good one for a "Cheating" songs topic.
