MindCrime Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 1. Holiday in Cambodia - Dead Kennedys (1980) 84 This went from being one of the worst 10s to one of the best ever. I never would've thought that song would've received as high of support as it did; it's in frequent rotation on my car's iPod. Too bad Muse tied at 10th place, I should've given them a higher vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 "Holiday In Cambodia", not only in the Ten, but gatecrashing the #1 spot. Who'da thunk it? It's about time "Pop Muzik" got its due recognition as one of the classic pop singles. PJ Harvey's "Dress" charting too; makes this one of my favourite Top Tens in a very long while.

pinkstones Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Excellent, 3 songs I can't stand made the Top 10. At least the Eagles made Top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Great, three songs I love made the Top Ten: 3. Heartache Tonight - Eagles (1979) 4. Pop Muzik - M (1979) 5. You Belong to Me - Carly Simon (1978) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Excellent, 3 songs I can't stand made the Top 10. At least the Eagles made Top 3. How far do you expect to get in life by focusing primarily on the negative? Most weeks I probably hate at least half a dozen of the Top Ten. Do I grumble about it? This week I probably hated about half of them; even more than you did. Maybe my tastes are just that little bit more discerning than yours: I don't reckon much to The Eagles, Floyd, Springsteen, etc - the sort of sludge that normally fills the Ten. But am I downbeat? No; because even though the ones I liked were outnumbered by the ones I disliked, I really like at least 3 of them. And that's what counts. Ho, happy day!

pinkstones Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Someone else who thinks they know me. Just because I wasn't too fond of this week's list doesn't mean all I do in life, whether online or off, is focus on negative things. There were songs on the list this week I did like, and I a band I really like made Top 3 and I mentioned that. I just thought it was funny that the three songs I really, really don't like and threw on my list just to finish it out ended up making it. My word.

Lucky Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 oh well, onward. This is definately not my favorite Ten .... BUT, I know a lot of people that are tickled silly with it. Holiday in Cambodia has been nominated several times, to no avail, so for it to end up #1 is pretty freaking fantastic. I'm happy about Carly making it in again as well. The very best thing about this ten for me, is that Stand Tall made it in! Burton Cummings' talent as a writer and the quality of his voice have never gotten the recognition they deserve. Stand Tall is a great song, showing off his great big voice and I'm so happy that enough people recognized it to vote it in. So there's something here for everyone even with the shortage of nominations ... that should be enough to make everybody happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 This ten sucks and you're all a bunch of blathering idiots. But I bet I'll still keep coming back because I dig the mental anguish of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I can't keep you two straight. Billy Clanton: Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double. Doc Holliday: I have two guns, one for each of ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Not the hugest PJ Harvey fan (DON'T HURT ME!!!) but is a good thing she's in the list. Dead Kennedys at #1? I'd forgotten what it felt like to have a black sheep top the list. Hurrah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Also, I would like a rule established wherein you need to collect a fixed number of credits based on positive comments which may then be expended in multiples of 3 in the form of negative comments. We could personalise it so that people with more songs in the TT need to make a greater number of positive comments before they can complain (multiples of 13 maybe) and those with fewer songs can whine after a mere 1 or 2 happy comments.
