Farin Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 And now, live (on tape) from Sverige: here's Dappled's Top Ten, and he was not only so kind to put two links for every song (for the song and in the playlist), but he also provides us with some interesting reading material NOMINATIONS 1. A Girl Named Sandoz - Eric Burdon & The Animals - 1967, Link Eric Burdon is one of my favourite singers of the 60s, so this personal list will have several by The Animals. 2. After Glow of Your Love - Small Faces - 1968, Link Had to have something with Steve Marriot! 3. America - Simon & Garfunkel - 1968, Link This one reminds me of my 3-day Greyhound bus trip from Chicago to Seattle in 1966. 4. Any Guy - Melanie Safka - 1969, Link Google image search for Melanie and you will get lots of Melanies but only one with inner and outer beauty, Melanie Safka 5. Anything - Eric Burdon & The Animals - 1967, Link As a father, husband and friend, these words speak to me. 6. As the Years go Passing by - Eric Burdon & The Animals - 1968, Link My favourite spoken word song. Guitars are played bu Andy Somers, later with Police. 7. Beautiful Scarlet - Rare Bird - 1969, Link Two keyboard players, one bassist and a drummer. 8. Black Girl - Four Pennies - 1964, Link Traditional song also known as In The Pines. 9. Carry on Till Tomorrow - Badfinger - 1970, Link Wonderful video but the story of Badfinger is such a tragic one. “Why did they have to die?†10. Come Tomorrow - Manfred Mann - 1965, Link Cool video with the Manfreds 11. Comin' Back to Me - Jefferson Airplane - 1967, Link Marty Balin is such an underrated singer and songwriter! 12. The Singer Not The Song - Rolling Stones - 1965, Link 13. Down By The River - Buddy Miles - 1970, Link The Neil Young cover! 14. Full Measure - Lovin' Spoonful - 1967, Link My favourite Christmas pop song. 15. Gotta Get A Hold Of Myself - Zombies - 1966, Link I love the Zombies 16. Guess Who I Saw In Paris - Buffy Sainte-Marie - 1970, Link I bought her first album in 1964 or so, and only because I loved her looks. 17. Heroes And Villains - Beach Boys - 1967, Link Talent, talent talen! 18. Hot Burrito # 1 - Flying Burrito Brothers - 1968, Link Gram Parson. Another tragic destiny. 19. Hung Up On A Dream - Zombies - 1968, Link Beautiful lyrics and music! 20. I'm Crying - Savoy Brown - 1969, Link Chris Youlden sang on 4 wonderful albums with SB. 21. I'm Afraid To Go Home - Cliff Richard & The Shadows - 1964, Link A song about the American civil war. A guy is afraid of what he will encounter when he comes back to his home town: “Sherman’s been in my town/Burnt it down to the ground/Now there’s not a tree/Between Memphis and the sea.†22. It's a Beautiful Day Today - Moby Grape - 1969, Link My favourite getting up in the morning song. 23. Lady Eleanor - Lindisfarne - 1970, Link 24. Last of the Steam-Powered Trains - Kinks - 1968, Link 25. Life Fades Away - Roy Orbison - 1987, Link Recorded just before his death. What a voice. 26.

Lost Angeles - Colosseum - 1971, Part 1 , Part 2 Chris Farlowe is another one of those Englishmen with big voices. And what a wonderful guitar solo by Dave “Clem†Clempson. 29. Loud Green Song - Patto - 1972, Link â€Fantastic reckless solo†by Ollie Halsall! 30. Man Of The World - Fleetwood Mac - 1969, Link Peter Green. A masterpiece. 31.

Dappled Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have nominated several of these to the TT, but only songs #3 and 46 ever made the Top Ten (though those weren't nominated by me I think). #12 might make it this week!

Jenny Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I hope you keep this open for a week, because that's how long it will take for me to listen to all these songs. I am unfamiliar with almost every song on this list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 yes, we'll probably do... (I need the time too ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Nice list Dap didn't know most of them so it was nice to listen to them. I hadn't heard "Black Girl" in years. Since I was a very young kid anyway and I knew it as "In The Pines". I'm a big Melanie Safka fan but prefer Her "Stoned Ground Words" and "As I see It Now" albums. I was thinking about nominating "Mandolin Wind" a couple of weeks ago but didn't think it would do well. Glad to see it here. Very nice list I really enjoyed it 1.Today - Jefferson Airplane 2.Mandolin Wind - Rod Stewart 3.Who'll Stop the Rain - Creedence 4.Comin' Back to Me - Jefferson Airplane 5.Black Girl - Four Pennies 6.The Supernatural - John Mayall 7.Down By The River - Buddy Miles 8.Life Fades Away - Roy Orbison 9.Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts 10.Man Of The World - Fleetwood Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberjudge Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 This is a record for the fewest songs I know in a PTT list-only 3! Most of the songs are less well-known by late 60's-early 70's artists that I love, so I am eagerly looking forward to hearing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Dap, my interest is truly piqued by your list! I know most of the artists, but few of the songs. I can't wait to find out what I discover here! I think we'll all need time to listen to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Oh, my God... Dapp, what a list... I was listening to it yesterday at midnight and then this morning too... I just can say I discovered so many songs I had never heard before... There are great tunes in the LPs that are never hits or even singles... thanks for doing the job, I would have voted for 40 songs, not only ten... 1- Anything - Eric Burdon & The Animals 2- The Singer not The Song - The Rolling Stones 3- Any Guy - Melanie Safka 4- Who'll Stop the Rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival 5- Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts - Bob Dylan 6- After Glow of Your Love - Small Faces 7- She's Your Lover Now - Bob Dylan 8- Today - Jefferson Airplane 9- You're On My Mind - Eric Burdon & The Animals 10- It's a Beautiful Day Today - Moby Grape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 For me it´s the most interesting list since we started the PTTs... Bazooka´s was also an amazing list... so many songs to discover... Sure, most of the lists are great... but when I find some 35 songs I had never heard before, it´s exciting...

Some of the songs I didn't remember but some of them sure brought back memories. I knew Black Girl as In The Pines. Used to sing it all the time but a lot of the words were different. Had forgotten all about Long Long Time. Love that song!! Buffy Sainte-Marie was new to me but I really liked her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 As many others, I'm not familiar with most of the songs either. I'll certainly try to give them all a listen and vote though. Just in case I don't - Lars, you are a Prince of a person and one of my best, truest and longest known friends here. Cheers Mate. P.S. Again Sammy, Sorry I missed your PTT. You're a 'good guy' too.
