Steel2Velvet Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Immediately upon joining this site, I fortunately befriended a nice lady who was in the process of gathering up the courage to leave her old life behind, head west alone and attempt to land on her feet, with nothing much more than a rabbit's foot and a 4-leaf clover in her pocket. To say she succeeded beyond what back then she could only dream, is an understatement. She found even better providential prizes than the trickets she carried in her pocket. She found joy and a fine man. Her nickname is no surprise and her taste in music is our good fortune this week! Lucky's Personal Top Ten My first ptt was full of hits, big songs that I knew everyone would enjoy. This time around it's much more personal. I've left off most of the big names, there's no Stones, Beatles, Zep, or Who. My list is mostly made up of one-hits, no-hits, great covers, solo efforts, etc. I'm afraid some of you might have a lot of listening, I'm sorry, but I hope you all find at least 1 new song to enjoy. - Lucky 30 Days in the Hole - Humble Pie A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Leon Russell Across the Board - Grace Slick Ain't Even Done With the Night - John Mellencamp Ain't Nobody's Business - Taj Mahal American Girl - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers The Annoying Song - Butthole Surfers And She Was - Talking Heads Atlantis - Donovon Back On the Chain Gang - Pretenders Ballad of Dwight Fry - Alice Cooper Black Betty - Ram Jam Black Cloud - Trapeze Boom Boom Out Go the Lights - Pat Travers Chicken Train - Ozark Mountain Daredevils Dreams - The Cranberries Fly At Night - Chilliwack Four Horsemen - Aphrodite's Child From A Dry Camel - Dust Hesitation Blues - Hot Tuna High Fashion Queen - Chris Hillman & Steve Earle Honey White - Morphine I Can Feel Him in the Morning - Grand Funk I Hear You Knocking - Dave Edmunds If I Could Only Win Your Love - Emmylou Harris with The Nash Ramblers It's A Hard Life - Roger Daltrey Killing the Blues - Robert Plant & Allison Krauss Let's Get The Show On The Road - Michael Stanley Band (Stanley,Walsh,Sanborn & the members of Barnstorm) Long Haired Country Boy - Charlie Daniels Band Mama Let Him Play - Doucette Me & Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin Murder of One - Counting Crows Mustang Sally - Buddy Guy & Jeff Beck Next Time This Time - Jim Croce One Way Out - The Allman Brothers Ooh La La - Faces Party of Special Things To Do - Captain Beefheart Passionate Kisses - Lucinda Williams Post Toastee - Tommy Bolin Room To Move - John Mayall Streets of Bakersfield - Dwight Yoakam Sunday Morning Coming Down - Johnny Cash Surely (I Love You) - Colin James & the Little Big Band Sweat - Poppa Chubby This Beat Goes On/Switchin' To Glide - The Kings Train Train - Blackfoot Walk Away - The James Gang Wild Horses - The Flying Burrito Brothers You'd Better Think Twice - Poco You Can Leave Your Hat On - Etta James Youtube playlist Let's all hope that we won't walk under ladders while distracted trying to whittle this rainbow's pot of gold grouping down to the requisite ten.
