I just checked.

It's not listed under the "Every Song" list but it is listed under the "Every Artist" list.

That's why Lucky has stated before that both lists should be checked before nominating a song in case a song was inadvertently entered on only one list.

1. Wide River To Cross - Levon Helm

2. Living In The USA - Steve Miller

3. Willie The Wimp - SRV

4. Yer So Bad - Tom Petty

7. I Smell Smoke - Johnny Winter

8. 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover - Paul Simon

9. I'll Be There - Mariah Carey

10. Who Knows Where The Time Goes - Fairport Convention

I'm so sorry - and I didn't heed my own advice. I checked the Song list, but not the Artist list. I'm so sorry. Both for the nomination screw up, and the list screw up. I'm just working so damn much, something has to give, and keeping up with those lists seems to end up being the thing. I will do my very best to get the whole thing caught up this weekend ... I have two whole days off (woohoo).

As far as this weeks votes - I'm going to pt Laurie, edna & pink to please edit their votes. If by chance they don't get to do that, we will just bump their song placements up by 1. Again, sorry guys.

Hey Matt - your votes count, don't worry! Good to see you!

[Lucky]

Substitute Western Union in my list with Willie The Wimp - Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble (1986)

Done, thanks pink!

Joe, I'm sorry Western Union was still on the list (see above posts - it's already made the 10). We will bump your vote placement up by 1 number.

[Uncle Joe]

Okie dokey.

[Lucky]

Well shoot, you're here before the results are posted .... if you see this, please go on and edit your votes. If you don't we'll bump your vote placement.

Good grief, sorry for the confusion ... but the lists are now complete through #287. Woohoo.

The Songfactors' Choice Top Ten #288

1. 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover - Paul Simon (1975)

2. Rhythm Of The Rain - The Cascades (1962)

3. Yer So Bad - Tom Petty (1989)

4. Living In The U.S.A. - Steve Miller Band (1968)

8. Who Knows Where The Time Goes - Fairport Convention (1968)

9. Ten Cent Pistol - The Black Keys (2010)

10. Wide River To Cross - Levon Helm (2007)

[MindCrime]

Looks like the Beastie Boys tied at #10, but didn't have as many voters as Levon Helm.

[Lucky]

Here is how the bottom worked out:

9. Ten Cent Pistol - The Black Keys (2010) 33

10. Wide River To Cross - Levon Helm (2007)32, 8 votes

11. Rhythm Of My Heart - Rod Stewart (1991) 32 points, 6 votes

12. So What'Cha Want - Beastie Boys (1992) 31

And, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover got the #1 spot with 88 votes!

[MindCrime]

I counted 31 points for Wide River to Cross

[Lucky]

Joe's votes were bumped one spot due to the Western Union fiasco, so his Wide River to Cross = 4 votes rather than 3.

[_Laurie_]

Nice list!....very classic....and good job on catching up on the lists Lucky!...thank you so much...computer is still messed up. I can post videos but it freezes up sometimes or takes forever when I do...My daughter's boyfriend is gonna take a look at it....hopefully we can get it fixed.

RIP Levon. You will be missed.
