Laurie!!!!!!!!!!

I´ve already read the list, I know most of the songs and I am going to be very classic...

Edit: Laurie, do you really expect me to choose just ten songs out of that list?? I´m listening to some of the unknown -for me- songs and it´s just better than at the first sight!!

I could have easily made 5 TT's from your list

[Steel2Velvet]

It's like the Westerman twins at every school function ...

"Oh, it's YOUR turn now?"

Oh my, I am seeing more than one that was on my PTT short list. Also seeing some I don't know and will give them a listen over the next few days.

I already know this will be difficult.

'Bout freakin' time Laurie, what the heck took you so long?

I obviously know most, if not all these songs, but it's going to take listening to some of them to decide how to place them. I mean, like, which 40 of them do I leave out, not which 10 do I pick.

[edna]

Actually, it´s one of the hardest lists ever...

[blind-fitter]

1) Son Of A Preacher Man ~ Dusty Springfield

2) Private Idaho ~ B52's

3) Journey To The Center Of The Mind ~ Amboy Dukes

6) Heart Full Of Soul ~ The Yardbirds

7) Willin' ~ Linda Ronstadt

8) Maybe ~ Janis Joplin

9) Feels Like Rain ~ Buddy Guy

10) Powderfinger - Neil Young

Enjoyed listening to the playlist. A heck of a lot of it was unfamiliar to me, so it was an educational experience. I definitely intend to check out other stuff by some of these artists.
