MindCrime Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hoping someone else will nominate Oasis, The Clash, REM etc... White Riot? Damn, maybe I can still switch over... I know there's a war currently engaging over the bidding for Supersonic I had thought about Radio Free Europe, but I don't care enough for that one to make it one of my two selections.

Shawna Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (example: Fleetwood Mac was still the same band after Stevie Nicks joined, [smaller]which is where I know you were getting at[/smaller] ) I'm so transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please keep in mind what Mindcrime posted: Three Dog Night's first single was 'Nobody'.

edna Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 "My Sharona" - The Knack (1979) "Good Times Bad Times" - Led Zeppelin (1969) Sorry, Sammy, I can't youtube you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 YouTube is not very good for finding audio, which is why I don't use it for that purpose. Video is fine, though. "My Sharona" - The Knack (1979) "Good Times Bad Times" - Led Zeppelin (1969) There ya go, I Grooveshark'd you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I didn't think we even needed to link our songs, since they're so commonly known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'm so transparent. I've always wondered how the "Invisible Man Part 2" would be starring a female! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'll replace, Try A Little Tenderness, which Laurie and I agree is a great song. I'll pick Ringo Starr's first single It Don't Come Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Grooveshark blocks my pc sometimes... Songfats does a great job of giving us everything we need for most of the songs that are nominated. It has an audio link of the song from grooveshark, a video from YouTube and thats not to mention all those lovely facts I have used it a few times myself. I just think we are so used to using YT we forget that our own favorite sites main page has alot of the songs available that we nominate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Thanks for the Groovin', pinkstones. You ARE the grooviest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'll replace, Try A Little Tenderness, which Laurie and I agree is a great song. I agree too, my friends... It' s one of the most beautiful songs in history. I'll pick Ringo Starr's first single It Don't Come Easy. This one is very good too... I think it's Harrison who wrote it, right?

MindCrime Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Ringo Starr's first single was "Beaucoups of Blues" in 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Ringo Starr's first single was "Beaucoups of Blues" in 1970. Beaucoup of Blues was his first single in the US, but It Don't Come Easy was his first single in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 2. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison (1967) The original swings just right, with an uptempo medium shuffle. This live cut at youtube is alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Beaucoup of Blues was his first single in the US, but It Don't Come Easy was his first single in the UK. Beaucoup of Blues was released in US in Sept 70 It Don't Come Easy was released in US & UK in April 71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Beaucoup of Blues was released in US in Sept 70 It Don't Come Easy was released in US & UK in April 71 I know that. However I'm saying it was his debut single, only in the UK though. So phil wasn't technically wrong in making that choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I believe the rules were the first single that was released by the artist, regardless of which country it was released in. I thought we were going by a time stamp here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 We are. First single is first single, it doesn't matter where it's released. In most cases it is the U.S. charts and dates that are used anyway, unless there are some huge discrepancies. phil, I'm really sorry, it's a technicality, but we have to have another choice from you.

Shawna Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Songfats thanks for (unintended) chuckle, Lea... you are the best. I'm planning to nominate something, this week has been packed and shipped so I haven't had time yet. But don't count me out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) The problem with some of these music information sights ( Excluding Songfacts of Course), is that they contain a beaucoup of errors.So, I'll try it again. I'll pick The Young Rascals (AKA Rascals), I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore. With my luck, they probably recorded a single in Sweden the year before.
