This is going to be fun. I don't know hardly any of these songs but at least two of them are on my list.

invisible r Said:

I hardly knew any of these songs so it was interesting

edna Said:

Wow, I don´t know most of the songs... I will have to listen to all of them... I love the idea!!!

CanAm Said:

I wasn't familiar with many of the songs on this list, so I got to listen to almost all of them. Very Eenteresting!!!

c_s_1987 Said:

I know very few of the songs and I need to do a lot of listening. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

Dappled Said:

I know just a few too so I'll try to find time to listen to all of them. So far I like every song …

cyberjudge Said:

I do know about 16 of the songs in this list, and from what I've heard so far of the songs I didn't know, this may be top to bottom one of the most listenable so far.

I still have more listening to do before posting my list, though.

blind-fitter Said:

I had hardly heard any of your selection before- maybe half a dozen of'em - but I enjoyed the research.

Lucky Said:

I knew about half, and got some new favorites from the ones I didn't.

I find this really gratifying. Y'all are making the effort give these 'strange' songs a hearing.

My list reflects my philosophy towards the Top Tens. I like to remember 'forgotten' tunes and share my 'new' discoveries.

I didn't intend to choose obscure titles. I know most of these from airplay on standard radio sources. There is limitless musical treasure to be found.

I can hardly wait to see the final scores.
