pinkstones Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Is there some way to find out songs that only made it to #2? I ask, because a special where we vote on the best songs to make the TT that just missed being #1 might be fun. There have been a lot of great songs that fell short of the top spot.

edna Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Is there some way to find out songs that only made it to #2? I ask, because a special where we vote on the best songs to make the TT that just missed being #1 might be fun. There have been a lot of great songs that fell short of the top spot. I think it would be better to give a chance to the songs that went under 10... this is not the Olympic Games, just the Top ten... Personally, I don't see the charm of Numer Ones. When you make the Top it's a lot, I find it greedy... and boring. Sorry to be honest, pinkstone,s that's my thoughts only... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Special Request: is there any way we can do a "New Artists" 10 sometime, we haven't done one yet during the Tim Lizzy era. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 also Best Covers might be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Best Covers... not bad... though we almost have covers in the regular Top Ten... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Patience kids, the specials only roll around once a month. We'll get to all these, they are all great ideas! And of course we're doing the Stones ... and maybe other artists as well. And best covers, and guilty pleasures, and comedy/novelty songs, and, and .....

Steel2Velvet Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 A TT made up of only novelty songs would be fun and might bring a smile to someone on a winter's (for the majority of SFers) day. Perhaps there haven't been any novelty (i.e. funny) songs produced in a long time, but they used to be so refreshing, as break from the Billboard Top 40 standard fare. The first one I recall hearing was on the car radio while riding with my dad, by a guy called Nervous Norvus, titled Transfusion. They've gotten a lot more sophisticated since 1956 while covering a broad range of subjects. But they still have one thing in common: making us smile. edit: (oops .. just noticed Lucky posted a mention of novelty songs. So, I guess my post will serve a "second the motion" post.)

edna Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I don't know much about novelty songs, but I guess "When you' re hot you're hot", "Gimme Dat Ding" or "Shaddappa Your Mouth" might do... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkstones Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I don't like novelty songs -- I think they're too hokey. Not that I like the songs I listen to be 100% serious, 100% of the time, just that songs that are intentionally ridiculous do nothing for me.

RockyRaccoon Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've always thought that popular songs like "Hot Rod Lincoln" and "Cover Of The Rolling Stone" were really good songs that were also pretty funny. I don't know if I'd consider them novelty songs per se, but I've always thought they were funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 "Bob Dylan's 115thth Dream" is also a funny song... in its way... .shades: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberal Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 How about hip-hop music? I know there are some that don't like it here, but there might be one or two songs those people might like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 ^ I'm loving that idea, Liberal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 What about a special for each decade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 ...but then we'd have to vote for 10 hip-hop songs we like... .p I think I could find 10 hip-hop songs I like but I don't think those ten will be nominated I might nominate "The Crown" and something by Malcom Mclaren...

MindCrime Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Maybe an African-American artists theme since February is black history month, but that might be too race specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Valentines Day also in February...Have we done love songs already??... Or... I'm still liking the guilty pleasure theme too...and the novelty songs too...and...I pretty much like anything.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 How about a Beautiful Loser special? Songs that have been nominated 3 or more times but still haven't made the ten? I know the very patient edna will love the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I like that idea. Problem, though: How do we know which ones have been nominated three times? Does someone have to go back and look at all 6,000 nominations? I know at least one of mine..."Sister Havana"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I was about to bring up the point that Sammy did. Unless you personally keep track of all the songs you nominate and how many times you've nominated them, what's stopping someone from nominating a song and saying it's been nominated 10 times, even if it hasn't? Someone would have to like Sammy suggested, comb through all 6,000+ songs and of the ones that didn't make it, count the number of times it's been suggested.

edna Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I think all of us know our Beautiful losers... I could nominate 20... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
