MindCrime Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Welcome to the... Top Ten Special ~ Obscure Songs ALL MEMBERS OF SONGFACTS ARE MOST WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE. The greater the participation, the more diverse, and more representative our top ten list is. We'd like to invite everyone to help us select THE SONGFACTORS' CHOICE TOP TEN! IT'S SIMPLE, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS: *The only criteria for this ten is that you feel the songs you are nominating are obscure (for instance, you don't believe that any or many SFers would know about it), regardless of whether they've previously made the list in a regular weekly Ten. We could nominate songs that you think no other Songfactor besides yourself would know. You may nominate up to 3 songs * When nominations close, choose your favorite Ten songs in order of preference from the Final Nominations and post them here. Points are allotted, 10 for your #1 song, 9 for #2, Etc. and our Top Ten is compiled from them. At the end of the voting period we'll announce The Songfactors' Choice Top Ten For that week.

Lea Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 He Doesn't Know Why - Fleet Foxes On The Bus Mall - The Decemberists I know Tim knows these songs and Rocky most likely does as well but unless there are other fellow fans that play this week aka Farin or Levis, most of you probably haven't heard these two songs. I will have to think on my third nomination too. I will do a playlist if you'd like Kenne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
