But it's going to be a lovely Ten!

[OLD 55]

Well, I've been promising votes like a politician in the 'Prospective Nominations Thread', but just like a politician I'm going to have to break some of those promises. There's some Killer nominations here - some were on my Lista + one I nominated before, so.... Sorry ! Gotta vote honestly.

9. We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister (1984)

10.I Want To Break Free - Queen (1984)

..................................................

Not much consolation to those who nominated them, but here's my 11 to 20.

11. When I Need You - Leo Sayer (1977)

12. Judy In Disguise (With Glasses)- John Fred and His Playboy Band (1967)

19. Song Is Over, The - The Who (1971)

20. I Don't Want To Miss A Thing - Aerosmith (1998)

..................................................

Well, I agonized over that. Take it too seriously, don't I ? And just because I didn't vote for your song doesn't mean I don't love you.

[OLD 55]

Before I forget, can I please suggest that the next Top Ten should be a "No Artists That Have Made #1" Top Ten? We haven't done that for a while.

I'll agree there Chris, but how about TWO Tens away ?

Probably many already have their nominations planned for next TT.

Maybe we can see what Lucky and the Team think about it ?

And any other members who'd like to comment, of course.

Oh no... that's my fault. I copied and pasted the list from the editor (after checking it etc)... the window wasn't big enough and I didn't scroll down, and missed the song. I'm sorry.

[RonJonSurfer]

It's a game..no need to apologize. I'll put it on next time.

[Lucky]

It wasn't me this time!

Sorry Ron (thanks for being sweet about it), but yay, it wasn't me!

A no #1's Ten sounds fine to me, whenever everyone wants it. Two weeks sounds good.
