OLD 55 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing by Stevie Wonder is missing from both lists, it was #1 back in #233 Thanks Kenne. That's fixed now and Stevie Wonder's name is in red - his firsr #1 in the Top Ten. If anyone notices any further errors, please PT Laurie or Lucky, or me (at this point).

RockyRaccoon Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Oh wow, I totally forgot about the PTT. I would love to do one of those again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 We'll be doing the Covers special for #330. It will be for covers not already in the archive, so the top 10 makes it in. We already did a covers special last year where any cover was eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 When ideas run low (real low) we can do a Special K....all songs or artists must begin with the letter K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I had thought of doing one for each letter (except the harder ones, unless they are all merged into one) but figured it would never pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 My first nomination for Z: (You sat Zee, we say Zed.) ZORRO - The Chordettes (1958) A lot of actors have played Zorro, but Guy Williams was the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I've never done a PTT but I certainly have a small library of nominations that didn't make the Top Ten... many are artists not recognised by SF. Not because they suck, but because they're Canadian artists not known in the US. I would have a hard time only making a list of 10 songs... I do like the idea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I've only ever had one, but that was 50 songs Ray. I think they all were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 50 songs! I've seen those posts from ages ago, but I was never able to participate (due to not being online for extended periods). I could definitely trim my list to 50 songs... even if there can be no 2 songs from one artist. Choosing the best tune from each artist would be tough, but getting 50 songs together is easy. My nominations rarely make the TT unless I nominate world-reknowned bands. Anyone up for a Canadian PTT? It'll be 2 specials at once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I think it'd be a good idea if this time around, the PTTs should be restricted to songs not already in the archive, so the top 10 will make it in. Though that may be a bit hard, every song I like is already in the damn thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 many are artists not recognised by SF. Not because they suck, but because they're Canadian artists not known in the US. not so fast, young Canadian whippersnapper. We have a writer now who hails from Canada and is tracking down all artists Canadian. Have a taste: Shane Volk of One Bad Son Ian Thornley of Big Wreck Serena Ryder Chris Willis Cody Hanson of Hinder etc. etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think it'd be a good idea if this time around, the PTTs should be restricted to songs not already in the archive, so the top 10 will make it in. Though that may be a bit hard, every song I like is already in the damn thing I'd love to do another round of personal top tens, but I'm not a huge fan of this idea, as it would be too restrictive - it's not really your personal top ten if we are going to restrict the songs that can be nominated, especially sinceso many songs are already there. We could make the distinction that they be songs that weren't on a previous ptt of your own, basically a whole new round of songs. Just my two cents.

Rayzor Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 My PTT would consist of tunes not in the archive so it's good either way... Shawna: Big Wreck rock! :rock: One of my (many) faves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think here's Steel's original idea... When first proposing this, my thinking was that the members make a randomly ordered (alphabetical perhaps) list of their favorite songs (realizing that can change from day to day, perhaps those not picked first could start on their lists now and modify them as the spirit moves.) Whether that person EVER nominated, voted for or otherwise even indicated their appreciation of the songs on their personal list; it doesn't matter. The submitted list is the determining element. Then we all list our favs from that list in the familiar 1 - 10 order. This provides two things: a sense, to the larger SF community, of the musical tastes of the spotlighted member AND to that member, a sense of who shares our tastes. I hoped it would be a good way to help us get to know one another better and a lot of fun, considering the quips that are very likely to arise in the process.

edna Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 well, if we have a new PTT I will post lots of foreign songs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 and I will post lots of Roger. who, BTW, I am going to see for an outdoor concert today, with press passes for photos (for my upcoming article) and free food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Ooh, have fun at the show Shawna. Would like to make it, I have a couple buddies going, but I got other stuff that needs done and dont feel like going all the way up north to Prescott.

RockyRaccoon Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 If we do PTTs, I think I would do all modern music. Did my own "personal favorites" last time, I think I'd enjoy doing some modern music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Ooh, have fun at the show Shawna. Would like to make it, I have a couple buddies going, but I got other stuff that needs done and dont feel like going all the way up north to Prescott. It was beautiful in Prescott! I've never been to the old town part of it. Loved that courthouse. Wow. The concert was okay, too. Rocky's right... there's lots of new music that has come out since our last PTTs (among my favorites, Adele, Lumineers), so this would be an interesting experiment in change for a lot of us.

pinkstones Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm looking forward to the Covers Not In The Top Ten special. I found a couple I'm surprised hadn't made it in yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yes, I think it's a great idea, even though I've only got one so far. I believe most people would like to see the re-introduction of the PTTs though, and I think that should be made top priority after this Special. We might get a few people (like me - so far) returning to the weekly Top Ten too. Maybe S2V Father of the PTTs, as bluesboy said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I don't like the covers idea very much. It would let lots of versions of the same song into the Top and people might vote for the song instead of the version. well, for instance, if someone nominates "To Love Somebody" by Janis Joplin, I wouldn't vote for it. Though I love the song. Besides, we might end up with 10 versions of "I Put a Spell On you", for instance. In any case, I will do what you all decide...
