10.Picture Book- The Kinks (1968)

This was seriously hard.... And it broke my heart to have to put the first four in order as they are some of my fave songs ever! I worked more on the basis of memories rather than preferance because there isn't much in it really.

It would have been even harder if you had picked different songs from other bands that are on your list, pearl jam, arctic monkeys, even iron maiden (wow that takes me back!)

[cyberjudge]

the playlist only has 40 songs of the 50 nominations...

but of the 40 that ARE in it, so far everyone played for me... which ones do you have problems with?

Could not play Echoes by Pink Floyd, or Picture Book by the Kinks (1 of the ones I do know), but I was able to you tube both.

This is a hard one for me. I only knew maybe 11 of the 50, but I'm working on it.

[cyberjudge]

An interesting mix -- too much heavy metal for my own tastes, but still enough variety to give a respectable 10:

1. Sir Duke-Stevie Wonder

2. Space Oddity-David Bowie

3. Goodnight Saigon-Billy Joel

4. Helter Skelter-Beatles

5. I Will Follow-U2

6. Come Fly with Me-Ol' Blue Eyes

7. Picture Book-Kinks

8. The Kids are Alright-Who

9. Keep Yourself Alive-Queen

10.Better Man-Pearl Jam (Didn't know this song before your PTT, so I learned one new song I like.)

[Uncle Joe]

1-Sir Duke- Stevie Wonder (1976)

2-Come Fly With Me- Frank Sinatra (1958)

3-Over Under Sideways Down – The Yardbirds (1966)

4-Picture Book- The Kinks (1968)

5-Keep Yourself Alive – Queen (1973)

6-Space Oddity- David Bowie (1969)

7-Goodnight Saigon- Billy Joel (1983)

8-Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?- Derek and the Dominos (1970)

9-Jingo- Santana (1969)

10-The End – The Doors (1967)

Very ecclectic list. That was fun.

[Shawna]

I see a lot of songs I know and love, and quite a few I don't know. So I've got some listening to do...

[Levis]

I think Tim really does have the best list...

[edna]

I think Tim really does have the best list...

I think my list would have been harder for me...

[Farin]

10.Better Man-Pearl Jam (Didn't know this song before your PTT, so I learned one new song I like.)

PJ singer Eddie Vedder dedicated this to "the bastard who married my mother"

[Viaene]

That's an interesting songfact

[_Laurie_]

I always thought he was saying "Butter Man" in that song...

10] All My Life- Foo Fighters (2002)

The first 5 songs are on my list, btw.

[Farin]

I always thought he was saying "Butter Man" in that song...

waiting, watching the clock

it's four o'clock, it's got to stop

tell him, take no more

she practises her speech

as he opens the door

she rolls over

pretends to sleep

as he looks her over

she lies and says she's in love with him

can't find a butter man

she dreams in colour, she dreams in red

can't find a butter man

[_Laurie_]
