[Shawna]

How is it possible that the most beautiful and amazing song I've ever known is so completely invisible to everybody else? I wonder about that... I know I'm not the only one who loves the song, but sometimes I do believe I'm the only one on SF who does.

1. Silver Springs ~ Fleetwood Mac

2. Maybe I'm Amazed ~ Paul McCartney

3. Angie ~ Rolling Stones

4. Bell Bottom Blues ~ Derek and the Dominoes

9. Something ~ Beatles

10. Rosalita ~ Bruce Springsteen

[Viaene]

I have that feeling a lot of times when I nominate a song, sometimes it takes some time to appreciate a song. Most people only listen to the nominations once. Just keep trying!

[TheLizard]

Well in my case... I just don't really like Fleetwood Mac.

[skybluesky]

Shawna I love Silver Springs and believe me, I lived the song for a while. I just couldn't fit it in to my voting.

[_Laurie_]

^^^^^^Same here Shawna....

[edna]

How is it possible that the most beautiful and amazing song I've ever known is so completely invisible to everybody else? I wonder about that... I know I'm not the only one who loves the song, but sometimes I do believe I'm the only one on SF who does.

I feel the same about many songs, Shawna... Remember our Top ten nominations... I nominate songs suchs as "I´ve been Hurt" or "Make Me Smile" or whatever.. time after time, et rien! Sometimes I wish people would love them too but, anyways, it happens to all of us...

[Lucky]

Me too Shawna. Silver Springs is a beautiful song, and I probably should have voted for it. I was in a bit of a fog when I did my voting.

Actually I got my nomination wrong, I did it by telephone, again, in a bit of a fog. The one I'd meant to nominate was:

Lady Blue

It wouldn't have gotten any votes either, but it's one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard.

[Foolonthehill]

1. Golf Girl

2. Something

3. Coming Back To Me

4. I've Just Seen A Face

5. Angie

6. Out The Blue

7. God Only Knows

8. Stand By Me

9. Maybe I’m Amazed

10. Rosalita

[Foolonthehill]

damn I forgot to nominate "Think Of Me With Kindness" by Gentle Giant.

[c_s_1987]

I should have nominated that and Lady Fantasy. I've never heard either of them. Though I'm sure I would like them, because Camel and Gentle Giant are two of the most brilliant, underrated bands of all time.

[edna]

At least Caravan got three votes... and high ones...

[Foolonthehill]

Yeah, Gentle Giant isn't usually very emotional, but "Think Of Me With Kindness" is.
