Levis Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) ^ Ibid. many big names up... let's get my little ones into the mix. Tom's Diner - Suzanne Vega (1990) Wiki: An article in Business 2.0 magazine revealed that "Tom's Diner" was also used by Karlheinz Brandenburg to develop the audio compression scheme known as MP3 at what is now the Fraunhofer Society... Brandenburg adopted the song for testing purposes, listening to it again and again each time he refined the scheme, making sure it did not adversely affect the subtlety of Vega's voice. Thus, it is not an exaggeration to say that the MP3 compression format is specifically tuned to play the song "Tom's Diner". Edited January 28, 2008 by Guest including the nomination, maybe?

Farin Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Millionen Legionen (Unplugged) - Die Fantastischen Vier (2000) for people who don't like (free!) mp3s watch the video Thomas D. is the singer and as usual for his lyrics they are very deep, poetic ones... I'll try to translate (even though you can enjoy the song without knowing what it's about) (at the beginning of the video he says "this is for my family" btw) [spoilerq:1]lyrics[/spoilerq] [spoilera:1]Millions of Legions I will pass the tests that life gives me Continue looking for what keeps me alive with that I'm not alone, and will never be 'cause for the first time, solidarity frees me so I'm ready, flowing into the aether, into the circle without traitors early student, I'm more and more reaching out to you come here... come here... welcome at home I'm there for you, no, I'm here because of you and to both of us it's clear when we have a goal in sight then I'm betting everything on you: my sweat, my blood my tears, my courage to finally my grief and anger I will give you my life's because no other way, I challenge you - I put my stake (in the wager) in and you will find in myself with what I have connected a treasure that I found my whole life with every sentence I plead: use me, rely on me with the knowledge of all sages of the world I will protect you where I am they stand, and where I walk they walk I asked them to come here, but the fewest see them we will awaken under false prophets to accept our inheritance as children of this world and I call on every Superheroes, every great Master every Highlander, every Warrior every good spirit every Superfreak, and Chosen One to myself into the here I have Millions of Legions behind me In the billows of the world we chose the wildest waves up to the innermost springs experienced life-rapids and made ourselves ready became wave-riders over the time and were guardians of the truth, surfer of the sand worms we two were the eye of the storm became ruler of vibrations, and that as nonswimmer because we had it and keep it still and also you, baby, were always my child we were lovers who, from time to time blind for love, floated past the other were too different, as if it ever could have become boring we were two really good nut cases, absolute beginners because we had it and keep it still break all the chains which normally beat the lightness we could fly, fly without wings and today You call on every Superheroes, every great Master every Highlander, every Warrior every good spirit every Superfreak, and Chosen One and myself into the here You have Millions of Legions behind you (You have Millions of Legions behind you) (I have Millions of Legions behind me) It was the night of the vampires in the city of the wild animals they pull me to them if I loose my balance I'll submerge and melt into this mass of mutants soulless wanderers, and their relatives And I'm struggling to the heavens for a change of the spirit raise my hands to god or whoever's hanging around there Sovereign of my life - this throne is mine cause I live and govern here. And then I lift my quill as a shield against the pain that reaches me from the battlefield of love. Although it seems as if everyone here sings gloomy songs I'll wash myself clean of the slime and enter new grounds. This boy's standing at the edge and with nothing in his hands without fear in his eyes and his back to the wall and then he calls on every Superheroes, every great Master every Highlander, every Warrior every good spirit every Superfreak, and Chosen Ones and he calls me and has Millions of Legions behind him (I have Millions of Legions behind me)[/spoilera] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Things are looking sooo good! Great songs, great friends, what more could you ask? Great to see Judo, and Sweet Jane! I hope some other "old timers" make it for the party! 'Course the most important "old timer" is already here, Darryl! Here are my two: First in honor of the #100th Top Ten: I Just Want to Celebrate ~ Rare Earth (1971) Second, the song I've been singing for the past several weeks: Workin' Man's Blues ~ Merle Haggard (1969) Don't forget to campaign for your songs!!

Jenny Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm going a little '80's crazy this week: We Got The Beat - The Go-Go's (1982) I was a tween when this came out and it was the first all-girl band I was exposed to. Girls can rock! The Tide is High - Blondie (1980) This song reminds me of the first summer after my family moved back to the US after two years in Colombia. Our new house was a half hour drive from the beach and this song was all over the radio. Every time I hear it, I swear I can smell the ocean.

_Laurie_ Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Writing in the car... ...and you and Lucky probably drive on the right hand side of the road too ! I don't write while I'm driving, silly....I wait untill I get to a stop light at least... ...And when I'm the passenger, I can't read or write in the car while it's moving...I get car sick really bad....it's terrible, I've always been that way..

Jenny Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks, Martin. My little stories are my way of campaigning for my songs. I didn't realize until now that I picked songs by groups that feature great looking ladies. If I really want to get aggressive with my campaigning, I will sway the men's votes with pictures of these lovely ladies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 My first nomination: Zombie - Cranberries (1994) Songfacts facts This song is about the war in Nothern Ireland, an issue of 800 years out, but only the last 100 year it has been very violently. Luckily things have calmed down nowadays, the road to peace is clear now. It's a very energetic song, which I like to jam on my guitar from time to time According to me this song should make the top ten because it's a classic song know by everyone and disliked by few. My second nomination: One of us - Joan Osborne (1996) Songfacts facts The song looks at religion and belief from a unexpected view, what if God would be a common man, living his life like other common people. I think it's kind of a metaphore, but to explain that I invite you to listen to the text According to me this song should make the top 10 because it's a great and peacefull (even melanchonic) tune with a text that opens debate on religion. thank you for listening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanAm Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Free Ride - The Edgar Winter Group Toys In The Attic - Aerosmith You never know, Martin. Your nominations may do better than you think. I don't think mine will do very well, but, I've thought that before and been wrong. I've also had high expectations for other songs which subsequently tanked. Keep your fingers crossed. Edited January 28, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm, well Darryl, yes we probably DO drive on the right side. At least I do, and I'm pretty sure Laurie does as well. It's so much better than the wrong side!

OLD 55 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks for all the good wishes Friends. And isn't it great to see Judo here. Lucky and Laurie, that was a joke.
