OLD 55 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 I'm pleased to see Australian Group, The Church make it even though it's not one of my favorites of theirs. I like their early 80s stuff better. And even though we say, Stones, Beatles again, Time Is On My Side is one of the Stones' best early offerings. A Good Ten, including 6 renominations. When Magic was nominated back in Top Ten #66 it only got 6 points, and Stop Stop Stop got 10 in #56 ! Get Ready, Under The Milky Way, Happy Jack and King Of The Road were the other four (thanks Dappled and bluesboy). I wonder if we've ever had a Ten with so many renominations in before ?

edna Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Well, we have more or less the same Top. No problemo... And if someone wants to renominate "I wanna take you higher" it has lots of chances to make it this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Sly would be pleased. Or not. He's cryptic, that Sly Stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 What a fine son-in-law you have; lucky you! Is it the same one who digs Dylan ? That's him ! He doesn't like Buckinham/Nicks Fleetwood Mac songs, so my daughter and I call him Fleetwood Lack. He likes old blues men whose vocals all sound the same to us too, even though I like to listen to (and watch) some of them play slide guitar.

Need Your Love So Bad. Blues with a sort of Pop embellishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 This is the Mac/Lack I like as well! Great song bazooka! I'm not too thirlled with this Ten, to be honest. Of course I'm happy about the Stones (Time Is On My Side is one of the great early songs). Just two others realy grab me, Get Ready, and King of the Road. Seems like I may have nominated Get Ready the first time out. Oh well, there are lots more Tens, and lots more songs to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Yes Baz, I do like that one. I don't mind the Peter Green Fleetwood Mac at all. When I said, my son-in-law Tony likes 'old bluesmen' I meant back to the 20s and 30s, which I know many people like, or there wouldn't be shelves of CDs of them. My daughter is primarily into 80s and 90s 'Pop'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 I like this ten... Not my favourite songs by the Who, Beatles, Stones and Kinks (yes of course I'll go for the big artists again), but still very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 The only song I really don't like is "With a little help ..." . I don't like Joe Cocker's version either. Yes, I'm weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
