[OLD 55]

Yes, but you're just a youngster, Jenny. I have to stop and think that we have a daughter 6 weeks older than you, and she wouldn't know most of the songs I nominate.

Old dogs like me find it harder to learn new tricks. And it's difficult to vote for a song on just one or two listens.

The CD currently in my Player is "Vic Dana's Greatest Hits" which my youngest son got for me from the States. My idea of wonderful music.

[MuzikTyme]

Musical interlude:

Sorry for the interruption but I just had to point out how bluesy's sensational nomination Love Like a Man by Ten Years After sounds like a prologue to Walk Like a Man by Grand Funk Railroad.

~~~ Resume serious nominations ~~~

[MindCrime]

Great list with a little bit of variety

[MuzikTyme]

I myself couldn't get enough of this week's selections.

[TheLizard]

Can't get enough of the archive

[pinkstones]

Very happy to see one of my noms make it in this week.

[edna]

Whaaaaaaat? "I've Been Hurt" didn't make it? I can't believe it!!

Good list...

[RockyRaccoon]

I'm surprised Blue Orchid made it! I didn't think it had a shot for awhile there...

[TheLizard]

Not a lot of people voted for it, but the people that did vote for it voted highly. It was my #1. Martin's too, I think.

[MindCrime]

I didn't think Today was gonna make it in either, let alone top 5.

[RockyRaccoon]

Not a lot of people voted for it, but the people that did vote for it voted highly. It was my #1. Martin's too, I think.

Yea, I saw that. I love that song. Definitely one of my favorite White Stripes songs.

[skybluesky]

It's not one of my favorite WS, but I always vote for them when they're nominated.

[RockyRaccoon]

As do I.

Them, Bob Dylan and The Beatles almost always get a vote. Beatles almost always get my number one

[Lucky]

Nice list. I love most of those songs. I like the rest.

[bluesboy]

It's fun finding an old gem that other people agree with.
