Uncle Joe Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 The Chantays-Pipeline The Shadows-Apache
Lea Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) "Dueling Banjos" - Eric Weissberg and Steve Mandell (1973) "YYZ" - Rush (1981) "Dueling Banjos" - Eric Weissberg and Steve Mandell (1973) "YYZ" - Rush (1981) Edited November 22, 2010 by Guest
Farin Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 Planet Rock - Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force (1982) probably not the reaction you were looking for, but: Kraftwerk
lonelyday Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 Man of Mystery- The Shadows Bedroom Acoustics- Muse
Farin Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 The only real stipulation is that there are no lyrics. There may be the occasional voice or chant (such as an intro, ooh wah's, etc) but no significant lyrics Easy enough. I have a question about that... are these two examples considered instrumentals? Get a Move On ~ Mr. Scruff (there *are* some lyrics "you better keep moving / or you'll be left behind", but one could argue that it's just a sample, used like any other instrument) Moments in Love ~ Art of Noise (lyrics: "Moments in Love" repeated a couple of times throughout the song) not saying that I necessarily want to nominate them, I'm just asking to leave my options open
MuzikTyme Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 Fire Eater ~ Three Dog Night Machine Gun ~ the Commodores
Lea Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 If we could nominate three this week I would have to go with Für Elise - Beethoven. It's my third all time favorite
pinkstones Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 I would have nominated a piece from Swan Lake -- it's my favorite ballet of all time.
Blue_In_Green Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 Blue In Green - Miles Davis (1959) Summer Madness - Kool & The Gang (1974)
phil Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 Linus And Lucy - Vince Guaraldi Trio Telstar - The Tornados Can someone please hook me up. Thanks. Some great nominations this week.

_Laurie_ Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed ~ Allman Brothers Band Misirlou ~ Dick Dale & The Del Tones
Lucky Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Posted November 23, 2010 After listening, I think they are both ok. What few words there are are used as a chant, almost as another instrument .... I wouldn't call them significant lyrics in any way. I initially got that clarification from DDD, and they indicate chants, intro's & ooh wahs (etc) are ok on their list. And for what it's worth ... I especially enjoyed the first one.
OLD 55 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 I have more than 10 already, but I'll throw 2 favorites of mine into the mix. Last Date - Floyd Cramer Walk--Don't Run - The Ventures
MuzikTyme Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 Incidentally, "walk, don't run" was the first instrumental song I learned finger-picking on a banjo!!! Thanks for the nomination, 2nickels!
Blue_In_Green Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 It's a great song! I first heard it in an episode of the classic late '80s TV series Crime Story and have loved it ever since.
MindCrime Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 If we could nominate three this week I would have to go with Für Elise - Beethoven. It's my third all time favorite That was also my 3rd pick, I was hoping somebody would nominate it.
bluesboy Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 1. Maggot Brain - Funkadelic Eddie Hazel on guitar. 2. Beck's Bolero - Jeff Beck Jeff Beck - guitar Jimmy Page - guitar Keith Moon - drums Nicky Hopkins - piano John Paul Jones - bass
RockyRaccoon Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 1. Maggot Brain - Funkadelic Eddie Hazel on guitar. 2. Beck's Bolero - Jeff Beck Jeff Beck - guitar Jimmy Page - guitar Keith Moon - drums Nicky Hopkins - piano John Paul Jones - bass AWESOME choices. I always liked what I've heard George Clinton said to his guitarist before they recorded "Maggot Brain": "Play like your momma just died."
Lucky Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Posted November 23, 2010 **** Due to the time constraints this week we're making some changes so that everyone has fair and ample opportunity to both nominate & vote. To that end, here's how we've decided it's going to work this week: We'll open the voting Wednesday as usual, although we may push the time back a little bit (depends on whether it appears we've got all possible noms). Then, we'll just leave the voting open over the holiday & the weekend. Anyone that doesn't get the chance to vote prior to the holiday Thursday will have plenty of time Monday, or Tuesday (or longer if necessary). We'll open the regular weekly ten on Sunday evening as usual. I don't think a couple days overlap will hurt anything.
Uncle Joe Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 That sounds very accommodating. TY
RonJonSurfer Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 The nominations are really fantastic. The surf music is great. Picking just 10 will be tough this time around.
