Steel2Velvet Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Here we go!

Your task is to listen to all her selections over the course of the next 6 days, vote for your favorite 10, in numerical order. You have until 10 P.M. EST on Friday night to make your vote count. Although there might be many songs with which you are very familiar, please listen to all before voting because you will find reward in doing so. Youtube Playlist "Last time I tried to be democratic-10 songs each from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s. This time it is just straight up 50 songs I like. Some songs I forgot to put on my list last time, a few I've discovered since then.

Lea Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) One of your songs I just listened to just might become one of my new favorites Shannon. Thank you It is now on one of my playlists Got the last song listened to just as DH was pulling down the driveway. My timing was perfect What a lovely way to spend my morning, listening to Shannon list. And the winners are: 1.Wish You Were Here ~ Pink Floyd 2.Baby Blue ~ Badfinger 3.Get Together ~ The Youngbloods 4.Lola ~ The Kinks 5.Librarian ~ My Morning Jacket (Loved it at first listen) 6.She's Not There ~ The Zombies 7.Tell Me Something Good ~ Rufus & Chaka Kahn 8.You Wear It Well ~ Rod Stewart 9.Rocket Man ~ Elton John 10.Chasing Pavements ~ Adele I had to leave so many off Edited January 24, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 WOW!.....great tunes ...this is gonna take me awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Same here... I know almost all of the songs but I still have to listen to some ten or more I never heard. If I didn't and just voted for the ones I love I might be missing something. In my opinion, that's the point of the Top Tens: discovering new songs. So I will have to vote tomorrow... OK, I listened to the remaining songs... It was very hard to chose only ten... 1- Wouldn't It Be Nice ~ The Beach Boys 2- Ain't No Mountain High Enough ~ Marvin Gaye / Tami Terrell 3- I Only Want to Be With You ~ Dusty Springfield 4- New Kid in Town ~ The Eagles 5- I Am Waiting ~ The Rolling Stones 6- I'm the Man Who Murdered Love ~ X T C 7- My Cherie Amour ~ Stevie Wonder 8- She's Not There ~ The Zombies 9- Dancing in the Moonlight ~ King Harvest 10-Perfect Situation ~ Weezer Edited January 24, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Hill Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 1. The Man Who Murdered Love ~ X T C (thought it was my theme song at one time) 2. She's Not There ~ The Zombies (haunts me to this day) 3. Tell Me Something Good ~ Rufus & Chaka Kahn (from Stevie to Chaka. Feel the love.) 4. Tempted ~ Squeeze (produced x Elvis C., I always thought it sounded like it was wrote x Stevie) 5. Lola ~ The Kinks (Mr. Wandell in 6th grade said we should all be wary of this song) 6. Baby Blue ~ Badfinger (Todd R. from PA produced this masterpiece, why did suicide follow these guys?) 7. Going to California ~ Led Zeppelin (of all the songs through all the years that have inhabited my head, none maybe any longer than this one) 8. As Tears Go By ~ Marianne Faithfull (say's Mick 2 Marianne "here, have a hit") 9. Bus Stop ~ The Hollies ("please share my umbrella" a 10cc connection) 10. Librarian ~ My Morning Jacket (thanks for helping me 'discover' this:) So very hard to choose just 10. Great list RG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
