I love it! See, Joe, finally "Fire" gets some recognition. I can honestly say that I like every song on that list. I guess that's why they were one hit wonders huh? Universal appeal? Congratulations everybody, great job! :)

Tonight I plan betrunken sein.

VERY COOL!!!! :happybanana: :happybanana: :happybanana:

I wish to thank bazooka for the fantastic Video he found for Mountain. Without it the song would have been stuck with the suckie vid I found and maybe have been on the bottum of the list just for that reason.

I would also like to thank Laurie for posting that someone should nomanate our #1 All Right Now :bow: I was just lucky enough to grab it :grin:

I see a few songs on the list that I voted for. Good list. :thumbsup:

You are welcome.

I've encountered the same issue with some of my nominations. Poor quality video (and/or audio) or no video.

I would encourage everyone to judge the music alone and minimize the visual part, but I know that the video can really help 'sell' a song ( that's what made MTV, after all)
