Miamisammy's Top Ten

[Farin]

This time we do things a little differently: Sammy asked to address you personally.

We don't normally do it that way, but he had some very convincing arguments (if you know what I mean )

here comes:

"Okay, here's the deal: I have nominated all of these songs in previous Weekly Top Tens. I narrowed down all my nominations by eliminating the songs that did make the Top Ten when I nominated them. (There are a few on the list that have made it in later Tens.) I whittled it down to 50. I love all these songs, but these are in no way my Top 50 of all time.

There are no links. Sammy doesn't do links. At the end of most songs, I have added the Top Ten that I originally nominated the song. If you have the patience to go searching, there should be a link usually around Page 3 or 4 of the particular thread.

If you know the song, then vote for it. If you don't know it, well then, you'd better start listening to more music, now, don'tcha think?! That is all.

Thank you, and enjoy, g§*%$%$#t!"
