[miamisammy29]

1. Whole Lotta Rosie - AC/DC (You just gotta love a great bluesy tune about fat chicks!)

2. Father And Son - Cat Stevens (My favorite from the future Yusuf Islam.)

3. Honky Tonk Women - The Stones (Classic Stones....but I NEED MORE COWBELL!)

4. Beautiful Loser - Bob Seger, et. al. (Definitely one of his best.)

5. I Can't Explain - The Who (Loses one point for rippin' off the Kinks.)

6. I'm Eighteen - Alice Cooper (Actually written when he was twenty-two.)

7. Let It Ride - Bachman-Turner Overdrive (Just good, clean rock 'n' roll. Always great drum sound from this band.)

8. Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On - Jerry Lee Lewis (The greatest piano player ever! Makes Beethoven look like an amateur.)

9. Once Bitten Twice Shy - Ian Hunter (I hate to admit it, but I actually like the remake by Great White even better.)

8. Father And Son - Cat Stevens (1970)

10. Can't Get It Out Of My Head - Electric Light Orchestra (1974)

Clearly people need to start nominating songs that I have actually heard before.

I still managed to leave the Stones off my list. I think their success is making the lists more boring. I won't vote for them or the Beatles anymore, unless the song is a real favourite of mine.

[Levis]

Doesn't anyone know Audioslave?

[Jenny]

I do, but I'm afraid I'm not a big fan. The only song of theirs I know that I'd vote for is "Like A Stone".

[The Seeker]

Doesn't anyone know Audioslave?

Their song was one of the six or seven I had to leave off my list.

[Levis]

I do, but I'm afraid I'm not a big fan. The only song of theirs I know that I'd vote for is "Like A Stone".

Oh bah... I was deciding between that, this and Cochise. I like this one the most because I thought it was less 'overplayed' than the other two. So I didn't get sick of it

[miamisammy29]

Sure, Levis, we KNOW Audioslave....Morello and that Soundgarden dude, right? Good nomination, good tune, but sorry, kiddo, it's just NOT on the level with at least half the songs on that list.

And I would also like to conscientiously object to the fact that some of you (not mentioning any names...CS, Jenny) would purposely omit the Beatles and/or Stones from your lists on the sole basis that they ARE the Beatles and/or Stones (or ANY artist, for that matter....not including Phil Collins, of course).

If, in your opinion, you think there are 10 better tunes on the list, then so be it; vote for your 10 favorites. But if you think said tune is one of the 10 best of the choices given, then DAMMIT, vote for it. DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT!! YOU'RE ONLY CHEATING YOURSELVES!!

If you thought Ross Perot was a better candidate than George Bush, then, dammit, you should have voted for Ross Perot. Dammit, dammit, dammit! Trust me: the Presidency would have been just as boring and crooked either way.

Thank you for listening. ROCK THE VOTE!

'tis for ME

but dammit, dammit, dammit, Nickelback is getting more votes than them!!!

I do that too

it's a clash of philosophies here, from what you expect from the Top Tens. For me it's a fun way to compare different styles of music and see where there are overlappings...

often seeing someone voting for one of my songs who I wouldn't expect it from, or a bit more rarely someone nominating a song that I wouldn't expect (bazooka ) is much more satisfying than getting a song in the Ten - which is kinda cool too

BUT, imho, it's just plain boring to nominate Beatles/Stones/CCR/S&G (or better: their big hits), because everybody likes them and everybody knows that everybody likes them

because of that, the only reason I see that somebody wants to nominate such a song would be because they want to get a song into the TT... and that's not my main goal

of course you're entitled to a different opinion

[_Laurie_]

I have a pretty simple plan, I just nominate songs I like....that's about all I go by...

[The Seeker]

Me too... and if I do nominate a Beatles or S&G song then only because it's good, not because I want a song in the ten.

[_Laurie_]

Me too!

[Farin]

different opinions is fine

[Shawna]

Nickelback is getting more votes than them!!!

it's not just Nickelback - it's Rockstar.

[miamisammy29]

but dammit, dammit, dammit, Nickelback is getting more votes than them!!!

Good point. That truly is a miscarriage of justice.

[Lea]

I have a pretty simple plan, I just nominate songs I like....that's about all I go by...

That's how I vote as well. I have bypassed a lot of classics just because I just never cared for that particular song. Or if I really, really don't like an artist like Jerry Lee. Can't stand him in anyway. He grates on my nerves.

I like some of his songs sang by other people but not him. Very doubtful I would vote for anything done by him.

Please don't yell at me for that it's just my opinion k

[OLD 55]

Thanks Lucky. I'd like everyone to know I left because of ill health (NOT a recurrence of the other illness) and that I hope to be back sometime next year. All the Best to everyone, and I hope all my friends are still here when I return.
