Thanks Edna,
It does feel good to be around, but after having moved DownUnder I'm not sure I can keep this up.
Cheers!

Hello Old55,
Thanks a mil for the invitation. Feels good to be back. When does voting close? I've been away from the threads for so long - gone a bit rusty. Need time to compile my "should be on the chart" list.
Cheers! Judo

The Graph: Judo used to compile this each week, giving a colorful look at the makeup of the Top Ten.
My apologies for not being in a position to continue with this contribution. Changed circumstances and new priorities preclude me from being the regular I once was on the Top Tens, but cheers! to all you other regulars; keep the Top Ten flag flying high and do our dear Old'55 proud.

In response to:
- Edna,
- The Seeker,
- Chris (C_S_1987),
- Lucky, (You've got my vote for Merle Haggard; I'm sure we can all relate to this hit song - Workin Man Blues)
- Old 55, (You've got my vote for A Hard Day's Night - The Beatles )

Thanks Darryl, Could you please change my nomination to the Billy Swan's version of "I Can Help"
-
This top ten is gonna be a tough one. I just hope I am around before the votes close, if not Darryl could you please give my nominations the default 10 and 9 points. Thanks.
I'll do my best to come back and vote.
-
Rescue Me - Fontella Bass
I Can Help - Billy Swan
I hope I got the title and the artists correct. I don't have my lista at hand, but I know I can count on Farin to rescue me.
-
Darryl, Edna and CeeCee,
thank you for your kind words.
Nothing major, just a visit to my ENT surgeon to investigate whether my partial hearing loss is due to upper respiratory complications or whether yours truly is really growing too old too fast
I'm sure all here on songfacts would agree what good would life be without a good pair of ears.
-
Darryl, please pardon me if I am slow on the take. I am away on short medical leave. I will look in on the threads now and then. I am working from an IT cafe where the software on the terminal PC is rather limited. The current month's graph could be late.

Shawna gets my votes for these (9th and 10th). No, most likely higher.
Also, I've PT'd Carl to ask him about the lack of movement in the Songfacts Daily and Weekly Top Tens.
Looks like we have a budding winner - Shawna you most certainly have my votes.
-
Thank you Farin. You always come to my rescue
Obviously I got the title wrong. I heard this song from a laptop burned borrowed CD that did not have a label nor track listings. Only know the artist to be Enya.
-
Where Have All The Flowers Gone - The Kingston Trio
Who Can Say - Enya

it's pretty interesting actually - I just did a quick count:
up to date we had 38 Top Tens, that means 380 songs...
out of these 25 were 80's songs (ca. 7%) and 19 were 90's songs... (5%)
50's and 00's are even below that...
so around 320 out of 380 songs are either 60's or 70's (that's 85%)
--------------
but please don't take that as a criticism, a great deal of my favourite songs/artists are from the 60's or 70's
the only thing I want to do is campaigning for (not demanding or suchlike) songs of a decade that are sometimes terribly underrated, imho
and they should compete against songs of all other decades, so I wouldn't want to vote for a "90's only" or "80's +" Top Ten's (unless it's an idea for a "Special Top Ten" in that category everything's possible
)mind you, this is just my personal opinion
Farin, I am with you here.
