Levis Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 wow! I didn't even vote for REM! Good Oh look... Blondie's Rapture made it. Where have I seen that nominated before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'm not incredibly thrilled with this one, but I wasn't incredibly thrilled with the original list. One of the songs on this list I absolutely can't stand. I'll let you guess which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Classic Ten, not really suprising outcome the Los Campesinos song should have fared (even) better: best discovery of this Ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I was thinking Rapture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 This is the first time in several months that both of my noms failed to make it. It actually feels good for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Indeed. And I'm glad you liked the Los Campesinos song, they're pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 ...and I think it's one of the the best lists!! All of songs deserve to be there... though I didn't vote for many among them - it was a hard Top - I love this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I was surprised 4. Down To Zero - Joan Armatrading even made the list. I didn't think it was getting many votes at all. I guess that's what I get for thinking To bad Jeff Healey didn't get any votes except for mine. He was a very talented man so I won't be giving up on him That others that won, are good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 No... who...? where? you mean my dear friend Old55? Well, there are probably lots of disloyal Australians around, but in this case I'm talking about me. Hey St Peter isn't really one of my fave songs, and cerainly not one of my fave Vanda & Young moments. Putting aside all the obvious early AC/DC, I'd go for "Evie (Part One)". I'll be nominating it soon... LBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberjudge Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 MC, this is SF. Don't take anyone seriously! I think the week's nominations overall were relatively weak; but I think it allowed some songs to get their due that otherwise might not have. I had 5 songs I voted for get in, including 1 current nom & 1 former nom; so I have to say I'm pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 It's an okay top ten....I'm happy to see Old Blue Eyes made it in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Yes, the Ten is just ok with me this time as well. I'm very happy with 3 of the songs that made it, and happy that Frank made it (though I'd be happier with a different song). Like Tim, there's one song I absolutely can't stand. (I'll give you a hint.... it's the same song). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hey, that's my nom... hated, loathed and detested by at least two of you... but it snuck into number two spot. On ya, Janis! L, L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
