Thanks Jeff. I've fixed that now. If anyone else notices an error in the "Every Song/ Every Artist...." (and there are a few there, I'm sure) it would be a good idea to PT one of the "Executive" rather than post it here, where it could be missed. I notice there are still 3 others to vote besides me. I'll be back with mine later.

Brad and I are slowly restoring the Top Ten Archive. There was an error in a Top Ten as shown below. I've amended the "Every Song..." and "Every Artist..." Lists. *** I found discrepancies with Top Ten #288. A couple of songs were in the wrong order and "Ten Cent Pistol" by The Black Keys made the Top Ten and isn't on the list. The song "Rhythm Of My Heart" by Rod Stewart did not make the Top Ten and is eligible for re-nomination. Brad_M Yeah..well...sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

I do like, and have voted for, some Metal Tracks. And I do listen to every song before I vote. But Rap/ Hip Hop just hasn't been the same since Vanilla Ice retired.

Wouldn't it be GREAT if all the people who nominated last week did so again PRETTY PLEASE. :inlove: Don't leave us to the mercy of heavy metal. But of course, that's better than Hip Hop.

No, that's how actors play us in the Movies. They even got the spelling of 'Australian' wrong too !

And I just added my third nomination: Elvis Costello's Grandma, Veronica.

Bingo ! Ron and Tim. Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Parade Scene "Twist And Shout"
