CanAm, I have noticed over the long haul that in the regular top tens, you and I nominate and make final selections of many of the same songs. So it was not surprising to see a lot of the same artists (and a few of the same songs) that I have been compiling for my personal top ten. BTW, in working on the SF group photo, I notice you and I resemble one another a bit, as well. (You lucky devil!!)

Thanks, Darryl! My surgery is scheduled for July 14, so now, at least, I can prepare psychologically for it. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!!! I go in for my pre-operative assessment next week. I just hope they don't make me shave my goatee.

I'm afraid my list is rather predictable. Originally, I included some less familiar tunes and artists, but I decided that all these songs really are my favourites and all of them evoke special memories of events that occurred during my formative years. I could easily have doubled or tripled the number of songs on the list.

kay, back. I really wanted to vote in this. I remember once CanAm saying that my musical choices in the top ten were close to his own. So it is no surprise I found this insanely difficult.

1. Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac

2. Refugee - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

3. Green River - CCR

4. One Of These Nights - The Eagles

5. Honky Tonk Woman - The Rolling Stones

6. Evil Woman - ELO

7. Ricki Don't Lose That Number - Steely Dan

8. Crimson & Clover - Tommy James & The Shondells

9. Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress - The Hollies

10. Summer Breeze - Seals & Crofts

A fantastic list CanAm :bow:
