Levis Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 The first time Black was nominated (#32) it didn't even make the top 20. ( Coincidentally, that was also the first time I nominated Govinda. When no one knew who/what I was on about. Naturally I was the only one who voted for it )
OLD 55 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks Tim ! To feel about 41 years younger, when I first met my Wife, would be just fine. But life progresses, and I'm very happy with Val, our 5 children and 2 grandchildren. I hope you enjoy the same happiness I have. And Radhi, I've been going back through the Tens looking at songs for my 'Personal Ten' and it's not uncommon at all to see lots of great songs that didn't make it first, or even second time around, that became #1s later.
Levis Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 oh that's very true! With a lot of hype and advertising, Govinda AND Hush made it to the ultimate ten finals. Where the vote got split they nearly made it even then so I'm still proud of 'em
edna Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 I will nominate my classics for the next top (you know, oldies that few remember... ) Black is a cool song. I would have voted for it but there was at least 10 songs I love best...
Dappled Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Oooops, I haven't voted yet! Beware you Pearl Jam fans! Just kidding, I don't want to be blacklisted! (get it?)

I Am ...I Said - Neil Diamond (1971) The first 4 songs could have been in any order. Wonderful songs!
Dappled Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 See you all next week! BTW when my name comes up on your wheel of fortune, Radhi, I must be notified early on Friday, because I'm not on the net on holidays!

Farin Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 the only song that deserved to have the #1 spot in this ten! and Black Gold too
_Laurie_ Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 I'm sure all the Pearl Jammers will be partying today...
The Seeker Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Posted May 30, 2008 Hmm, I think there were two or three others as well... I Try Black Gold Black 101 points too... Lucy in the Sky is nice too, though no real surprise.
Farin Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Hmm, I think there were two or three others as well... other good songs, yes other songs that deserved a #1 against Black, no and White Stripes too
Steel2Velvet Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Looks like one of the best mixtures of years represented that I can recall. This is a very cool ten! I'm personally a bit verclept because this makes two weeks in a row that both my noms made it into the TT! :guitar:
edna Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 the only song that deserved to have the #1 spot in this ten! That´s false. "The Singer Not The Song" should have been #1 instead... But yes, nice Top... nice mix...
skybluesky Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 That is a great ten. I'm happy Ambrosia finally made it.
