Farin Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I haven't nominated in a while. Here are a couple of songs that aren't my "usual", but I'm really enjoying them right now. If any one has the time to put up the links, I'd really appreciate it. Glosoli - Sigur Ros (2005) Rooks - Shearwater (2008) I'll guarantee you a Top 3 place for one of the songs and a maybe-a-vote for the other one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberjudge Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 In honor of the final game at Yankee Stadium, which I attended Sunday night, I am offering this week's nominations as a tribute to 2 great Yankee legends: Phil Rizzuto, the Yankee Hall of Fame shortstop turned announcer, whose distinctive voice and style was featured on: Paradise by the Dashboard Light-Meat Loaf (1978) and Yogi Berra, the Yankee Hall of Fame catcher, still cracking his legendary one-liners (now known as Yogiisms), the most famous of which inspired It Ain't Over 'til It's Over-Lenny Kravitz (1991) And I am impressed by a number of other baseball-related tunes this week: Ty Cobb - Soundgarden (1996) "Say It Ain´t So, Joe" - Murray Head "Mrs. Robinson" - Lemonheads (1992) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberjudge Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I never knew we were allowed to nominate cover versions of songs after the original has already made it in. There are several songs that have made it into the TT for multiple artists: Cry Baby-Janis Joplin & Garnet Mimms I Heard It Through the Grapevine-CCR & Marvin Gaye If I Were a Carpenter-Bobby Darin & Small Faces Layla-Derek & the Dominoes, and Eric Clapton (solo) Mr. Tambourine Man-Byrds & Bob Dylan She's Not There-Zombies & Santana Walk This Way-Aerosmith & Run-D.M.C. f/ Steve Tyler & Joe Perry With a Little Help from My Friends-Beatles & Joe Cocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 That's interesting, I guess I had never noticed before. I may take advantage of this rule in the future. Good picks btw, CJ. I will probably give a high vote for the Meat Loaf song. So far, this is overall the most obscure T10 yet, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) Bang on The Drum All Day - Todd Rundgren I Got The Feelin' - James Brown & The Famous Flames (1968) Any fans of the Cosby Show will recognize the James Brown song. It was featured in one of the episodes where the kids lip-synched on the steps for their grandparents. Oh, and could someone please hook me up with YouTube? Thanks!!

cyberjudge Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yes, but only I Heard It Through the Grapevine made it to #1 with both artists Which song will be the first to become #1 three times with different artists?? Grapevine has a decent shot at a 3rd #1, with the Gladys Knight & the Pips version still left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 '77 it is cj, thanks! Two songs unknown to me that I'm really liking this week: Boston--Augustana (2005) Shawna & phil, if you don't know it, take a listen. The band are local San Diego boys, and it's very nice song, I like it!
