Farin Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 ^ nope, that was indeed their first single
Jenny Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Since the U2 song I nominated is ineligible, I am only going to have one nomination. I don't have the time to do all that research to get another one.
Farin Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 should we post some suggestions, maybe? Pet Shop Boys' first single was 'West End Girls'
Jenny Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 How nice of you to offer a suggestion, and a good one, too! My second nomination will be: West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys Thanks Farin
phil Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Thank you everybody. I think it's time for my medication and a nap.
chutzpah Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 "Sweet Baby James" James Taylor "Cold Turkey" Plastic Ono Band And "Thank you" folks for the tips...I do this music stuff like life...sorta wing it
The Seeker Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 Give Peace a Chance was the Plastic Ono Band's first single, and Carolina On My Mind was James Taylor's. Apparently Sweet Baby James wasn't even released as a single.
Shawna Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 Last Train To Clarksville ~ Monkees and.... Our Lips are Sealed ~ Go-Gos.

Lucky Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Posted September 26, 2009 Hey, you guys read my mind! I was just going to come down here and note that any other nominations need to be posted, cause we need to get this thing going, voting wise. Great minds, and all that ... I'd like to start the voting tomorrow or so, so if you want to change a nomination, or if you haven't nominated yet, please do. Thank you!
Farin Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 I thought about nominating "Sexy Boy" by Air, but in the end decided against it in favour of: Human Behaviour ~ Björk (1993) Video and secondly not only the first single of the band, but also the first single that put a genre in the (so called) mainstream in the UK Anarchy in the U.K. ~ Sex Pistols (1976) Video
Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 Edit: I changed my mind, here's my second nomination: Tribute - Tenacious D, 2002 :rock: :rock:

_Laurie_ Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 1. For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield 2. Can't Get Enough - Bad Company 3. More than a Feeling - Boston 4. Hush - Deep Purple 5. She's Not There - Zombies 6. Question 67 & 68 - Chicago 7. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison 8. Take It Easy - Eagles 9. When a Man Loves a Woman - Percy Sledge 10 Piano Man - Billy Joel Had to leave off quite a few of my favorites...great list of tunes there!
Lea Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 1.Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix 2.Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum 3.Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel 4.Breakdown - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers 5.West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys 6.Piano Man - Billy Joel 7.American Pie - Don McLean 8.Fast Car - Tracy Chapman 9.She's Not There - Zombies 10.My Sharona - The Knack 11.Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison I have been singing that song to my kidlett forever. Especially if she is a sad puppy I just couldn't leave it off. I just couldn't.
MindCrime Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) 1. Breakdown - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers 2. More than a Feeling - Boston 3. Good Times Bad Times - Led Zeppelin 4. Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits 5. Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix 6. Break On Through (To the Other Side) - The Doors 7. Anarchy in the U.K. - Sex Pistols 8. West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys 9. Alive - Pearl Jam 10. American Pie - Don McLean This list was especially hard because I like every song that is nominated and I've heard them all before. I almost didn't vote for Hendrix's 'Hey Joe' because that song is a cover version, which partially defeats the purpose of this special. Edited September 28, 2009 by Guest
_Laurie_ Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 MC...I'm really happy you didn't change the Boston nom...I really like that song a lot!
Lucky Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Posted September 28, 2009 1. Hush - Deep Purple 2. Take It Easy - Eagles 3. Good Times Bad Times - Led Zeppelin 4. American Pie - Don McLean 5. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison 6. Breakdown - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers 7. Piano Man - Billy Joel 8. My Sharona - The Knack 9. She's Not There - Zombies 10. Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum It's not fun cutting out so many songs that I like. I like the entire list, but limited it to 10 classic debut's.
