He gets 99.9% credit This is why I love this site.

cyberjudge Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hit Me With Your Best Shot ~ Pat Benatar (1980) * Nomination #2 still to be determined * I can't believe Pat Benatar never hit the TT before. I'll certainly vote to change that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Surprising that nothing by Mr. Sedaka has already made it in, I would've thought he did by now. The same could be said for Foreigner. Edited May 18, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Innà mér syngur vitleysingur ~ Sigur Rós (2008) video and mp3 the title translates to "Within me a Lunatic sings" even though: "One thing from an Icelander to all of you, "vitleysingur" does not translate into "lunatic", I don't really know though how you could translate it into one word but a "vitleysingur" is really more like a silly person not an insane person." for all of you who are curious (and if you're not - why not?) lyrics + translation there are actually two translations on the site, one more literal and: "The loose translation below is done by an English poet, attempting to use the feeling of the song rather than the exact conjunctions of the Icelandic to create an English approximation" 90s one hit wonder alert: Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand ~ Primitive Radio Gods (1996) video and mp3 We sit outside and argue all night long About a god we've never seen But never fails to side with me Sunday comes and all the papers say Ma Teresa's joined the mob And happy with her full time job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Sorry, Edna: I just swapped it for something else. Though I could swap it back , if enough people pledged their votes to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 "All I Know" - The Screaming Trees (1996) I remember this one from when it premiered on MTV's 120 minutes 13 years ago. I knew what the video looked like before clicking on the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Sorry, Edna: I just swapped it for something else. Never mind. I discovered a song and a band I like now... that´s what counts after all... Thanks, B-F... I´ll listen to your new nom right now... Oh, I know that song... I used to hear it on the radio in the early 80s... I might vote for it but not as high as the previous one... Edited May 18, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I think I may have nominated "All I Know" once before, and if I did, I don't recall it doing very well. And all of a sudden I wasn't in an American Rock frame of mind. I'm expecting the Girls At Our Best album ("Pleasure", reissued after too many years in the wilderness) in the post early this week. Hence my hasty decision to change my nom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I think I may have nominated "All I Know" once before, and if I did, I don't recall it doing very well. Possible... I do listen to each and every nomination, except when the pc isn' t available... I might have missed it then... See? That´s why I love to listen to every song...

The Seeker Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Viaene, Queens of the Stone Age aren't eligible this week. You can only nominate artists that have never made the Top Tens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 but since that's my most favourite QotSA song, I hope you're nominating it again soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
