This week a couple of you nominated some of my all time favourites

[Farin]

I gladly accept the challenge Martin

I have been debating between nominating Black or Jeremy for a while, even though you have claimed your place as the ultimate SF Pearl Jam fan.

I nominated a bunch of them (including Black and Jeremy) quite early in the TT history, but since they never fared well (apart from Alive), I was and still am a bit reluctant to nominate them again and again

of course if somebody else would nominate some song it will almost guarantee a high vote by me

oh, but I do really

and I actually like both songs - Bow River, for me, is a 'typical' Classic Rock song, I'm sure quite a few people here would like it

and Powderfinger are a good mixture of 90s/00s alternative Rock with heavy Classic Rock influences (the solos sound like coming straight from Neil Young )

[Uncle Joe]

1-Snowbound - Donald Fagen (1993) Let's sleep in today.

2-Coconut - Nilsson (1971) Drink 'em bode up.

3-Cruel To Be Kind - Nick Lowe (1979) In the right measure.

4-We're All Alone - Rita Coolidge (1977) Outside the rain begins and it may never end.

5-Heard It In A Love Song - Marshall Tucker Band (1977) Cain't be wrong!

6-Don't You Care - The Buckinghams (1967) Whatever happened to all the good times we used to have?

7-Just My Imagination - The Temptations (1971) This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems.

8-I'll Turn To Stone - Four Tops (1966) Without you thereFor my eyes to beholdMy life would be emptyMy heart would grow old

9-Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) - Billy Joel (1977) Who needs a house out in Hackensack?

10-Showdown - Electric Light Orchestra (1973) And it's raining all over the world.

Oops, I didn't even vote for my own nom...Don't Eat The Yellow Snow.

Do you think Daughter or Elderly Woman... stand a good chance? I prefer those songs to Black and Jeremy.
