Woootwooot!.....Love it!

[MindCrime]

Yay! my top 4 picks all made the end of the top 11

"I will always love you" was #10 on my list, but I moved it off to make room for one I overlooked. It almost got a point.

2. Good Vibrations - Beach Boys

3. He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother - Hollies

4. Georgia on My Mind - Ray Charles

5. Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce

6. Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight & the Pips

8. Let’s Stay Together - Al Green

I might not have voted for all of them but hey... excellent choice!!!

Mrs Robinson has always been in my Top too...

[cyberjudge]

Great job! Nice mix of 60's, 70's & 80's. I'm glad to see a lot of support for many different songs, and I'm particularly impressed with the showings for Crazy, which just missed the top 10, and Over the Rainbow, which outpointed a lot of the rock-era megahits.

[Steel2Velvet]

Great job! ... I'm particularly impressed with the showings for ... Over the Rainbow, which outpointed a lot of the rock-era megahits.

If memory serves me correctly, it was only on about 3 ballots. But when scored, it scored high each time. It is one of those songs that if one loves it - they really love it a lot! A testament to the power of music to stir up and restore memories, no doubt. I think most of us can relate to that song in some form, but in context of appreciation for the music in your list, there was a lot of confliction to scale it against modern pop and R&R. If the theme to the songs you had listed was nostalgia or show tunes, it very well might have won.

[Lucky]

I was one of the 3 ballots, and it was my #1. I guess I'm one of those that really loves Over the Rainbow. It crosses all boundaries for me. But then my #2 was Mrs Robinson ...

Great list cj!

[Viaene]

awesome music Cj!

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Cj, I was so close to voting for Celine. She doesn't get much love around these parts. I feel bad that she got no points at all. Same with "crack is wack" Whitney.

[Uncle Joe]

Judge, this looks like an awesome list. Sorry I missed out on the voting.

[LarryJcbs]

Great list! Santana next to A-ha. Take On Me was an awesome tune.

[Ombre Vivante]
