Uncle Joe's Personal Top Ten


Recommended Posts

Alrighty chillen, it's now time to gather around the semi-soiled sock draped feet of our esteemed Uncle Joe, in order to sample his eclectic choices for our listening pleasure. (Just be careful not to sit directly in front or behind him - you may not appreciate the view.)

I request that all voters remove their pants before casting their ballots.

Thank you! ... Uncle Joe

This playlist took me to my own playlists.

I almost started voting off one of the previous Golden Oldies lists, from when I was filling in for Dappled.

Ditto me. I know all the songs but I wanted to listen anyway :puppyeyes:
