Every one pays me for the privelege of voting on great songs? Travelers checks will do nicely, thank you [big]Ryansgirl's Top Ten[/big] 1. I Am a Rock ~ Simon & Garfunkel 2. Losing My Religion ~ R.E.M. 3. God Only Knows ~ The Beach Boys 4. Watching the Wheels ~ John Lennon 5. Me & Bobby McGee ~ Janis Joplin 6. Lithium ~ Nirvana 7. It's Too Late ~ Carole King 8. Romeo & Juliet ~ Dire Straits 9. Loser ~ Beck 10.Lay Lady Lay ~ Bob Dylan honestly, the only thing I hoped was that Losing My Religion would make the list, and it's sitting pretty at number two It is a very me list-a couple of female artists, a nice mix of old and new, and it's good that Watching the Wheels made it, because that was my first number one in the weekly ten. I am beyond joyous and Happy Leo Sayer's Birthday to my dear Song Facters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Very nice choices again. So far the lists have been excellent. This is such fun I think we should do two a week. I do have that REM song on my list. I thought about changing it because I thought people might get tired of seeing it but then thought nawww... It's such an all around great song everybody likes it and I wouldn't be surprised to see it on a few other list as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Losing My Religion is the song that saved my life. I had to have it on my list, but I was worried no one would vote for it after it did so well on Edna's list. I'll vote it high no matter who's list it's on.

skybluesky Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I left the Stones for you, so you got your work cut out for you. And just what do you do with the lunch money you get from noobs? You should be a millionaire by now, so you don't need my profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 And just what do you do with the lunch money you get from noobs? Oh, just throw it on the pile, of course.

TheLizard Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Isn't this the second time Simon and Garfunkel has topped somebody's personal top ten? Cool! Every song on this ten is great. Too bad The Doors didn't make it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 A great Ten Shannon. I gotta say you have really really got great taste in music. Even the songs I didn't vote for are good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 The only thing that grieves my heart about my list is that Blackbird didn't make it. It just doesn't seeem right not to have a Beatles song, and that one is my favorite Beatles song. But if Blackbird had made it, another good song would have beenleft off. Such is life and lists. I want to see the complete results so I can see how close some songs came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
