pinkstones Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 The House Is Rockin' was supposed to be one of my nominations for next week. I had selected it about 3 weeks ago, along with Dixie Fried by George Thorogood, so you can imagine my slight dismay when it got nominated this week. I had to hurry up and change my noms for next week, since I pair them up and taking one out meant having to remove the other. That said, I'm glad to see it made #1. If I had been able to nominate it next week, that's exactly where I would have wanted it go, so I've got no complaints with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 So why the slight dismay?...because it was nominated by someone else?....There have been soooooo many songs that I love that have been nominated by others...and very happy to see those songs that I love being nominated....

pinkstones Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 No need to be confused. I plan out my nominations sometimes months in advance; for example I've got my nominations for the next 6 weeks all set, and if there's a Special thrown in, I can just move them all back a week. So I had that song lined up for next week since the first week of December. Maybe dismayed wasn't the right word, but it kinda stung a little to see a song I was planning on nominating next week get nominated by someone else this week since I put so much thought into what songs I nominate from week to week. It was bound to happen sometime, though. It's hardly a big deal though, I just thought it was interesting/amusing in a way. It probably would have gone to #1 next week anyway, so it still would have made it, as it should since it's a great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Oh...I see...Yeah I had a lista at one time, then lost it and never made a new one...Now I just wing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah see, I can't do that. I have to think about what songs I'm nominating, like if I've nominated either artist recently (I don't like to nominate an artist too frequently in a short span of time), if another Songfactor has nominated that artist or even that song recently....stuff like that. I'm too analytical to just wing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't get a check for getting our noms in the Top... and it happens very often to see a song making the Top when it's been nominated many times before by other songfactors... this is a game... I nominated "Wah Wah" once or twice before, I think (it's been years of nominations so I might be wrong, but anyways...) and when it makes it I'm glad because a great song made the Top. I didn't write it, I won't get copyrights either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 The House is Rockin' has been nominated four times in the course of the Top Ten. It took that many times to come back and make #1. Since it's one of my favorite songs, woohoo! Congrats to Laurie for finally getting it in. The rest of the ten ain't bad either. Nicely rounded.

Lea Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I think I also nominated The House is Rockin' at least once myself. I'm a huge SRV fan. Most of the songs I've gotten into the top ten were probably nominated at least once by someone else through the years I do like this list ok, not my favorite but how I vote depends on my mood No insult intended to anyone and this isn't a whine just an observation. It kind of surprises me that Bad Company seldom does well in the tens. The same can be said for Foreigner, Asia, and Styx. They never lose by a lot of votes but they never quite seem to make it. I wonder how many times we've nominated Foreigner over the years and we only have four songs by them on the list. It's kinda strange. We like them, but they never seem to get that extra point or two to get a win. I think there are several groups in this same category Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I love "Lady" by Styx. Outside of that one, their best efforts were not huge hits. They really started to tank when Kilroy came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lea Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Really? Coming from you this kinda surprises me. I don't know why for sure but it does. Read the lyrics maybe without the tune? "Here is a man asking the question Is this really the end of the world? Seagull, you must have known for a long time The shape of things to come. Now you fly, through the sky, never asking why, And you fly all around 'til somebody, Shoots you down." But then, if you don't like the lyrics either tis' ok When you think about it, this song came out in 1974. I was 18. It seem like they relate to the times we're living now, but said in a much softer way then how they would be used these days if ya know what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 The lyrics are fine, but lyrics have always been less important to me than the music, and I find Bad Company bland. All their stuff comes off as calculated and manufactured to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Lol I should have known that Tim. This makes complete sense to me in a lot of ways. But, because your also an awesome poet IMHO and should write more, it kinda doesn't make sense to me either. You so remind me of my brother. I hooked him up with Fleet Foxes and he told me they were little more then clones of CSN&Y I won't even go into his opinion of The Decemberists Leave it say, I no longer give a rip for his opinions He's another poet, artist ect. that keeps his talents to his self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I. LOVE. STYX. They were the first band I ever got into. They are the reason I started listening to classic rock. I came across "Mr. Roboto" one day and really like the song, I then asked my friend who showed it to me who did the song, he told me Styx. So the next day I went to Best Buy and bought their greatest hits and loved it. Then I began to search for more and more music. And now I'm here. Sure, they're about the gayest straight band around (I saw them in concert, I know, James Young kissed a guy's cheek. In fact, Chuck Panozzo was there and HE wasn't the gayest looking guy there, and he's actually gay). BUT I think they're a great band. Not many guitar solos get me going like the solo to "Renegade".
