I'm loving it so much a lot of your songs are going on my playlists :D

You didn't use my Armatrading video I made :puppyeyes:

I'm an album version kinda girl myself I guess. :D

Excellent, excellent list bazooka. The first 2 I chose are on my own list and the rest could be placed anywhere. There were only about 3 songs I didn't really feel for. The rest were just wonderful.

I think we should be able to list all 50 songs in the order of what we like best :D These lists just keep getting harder and harder.

Very tough but here they are:

1.What It's Like -- Everlast

2.Down To Zero -- Joan Armatrading

3.Train To Nowhere -- Savoy Brown

4. Tuff Enuff –- The Fabulous Thunderbirds

5.Good Thing -- Fine Young Cannibals

6.I Can't Get Next To You -- The Temptations

7.Bombay Calling -– It’s A Beautiful Day

8.Fire -- The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

9.Born With A Broken Heart -- Kenny Wayne

Shepherd

10.Right Next Door (Because Of Me) -- Robert Cray

Huh? can you post it?

The first version of Bombay Calling that's on my list is the one with the live footage of Deep Purple?? although it is It's A Beautiful Day's recording. It's not playing well for me either right now. Here's still another video, but the sound quality is not so good.
