Farin Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 It was really novel back in the early '70's... John Hartford and J.D. Crow and the New South nice! thanks for the links
pinkstones Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 He's a whiny British singer who was famous in the 80s and knighted by the royal family for who knows what reason. Phil Collins wasn't knighted by the Queen. He was awarded the Royal Victorian Order (a quick check of his bio on Wikipedia confirms this), but that's not a knighthood. I'm surprised Edna hasn't heard of him. Surely she's heard of Genesis, right? He was their drummer, then their lead singer.
miamisammy29 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 I thought he was the guitar player for Def Leppard.

Shawna Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 I didn't get to vote this time. Didn't have time to listen to everything and figured it wouldn't be fair if I voted without doing that. Oh well, good list! I love that Boz is on top.
Lucky Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 'bout time! I agree Joe ... I thought that would be your reaction. I'm sorry, I got sidetracked today and forgot to put the new week up. I'll remedy that.
Brad_M Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Boz Scaggs will have to relinguish the top spot to the Rolling Stones. I just noticed that Boz Scaggs already made the Top Ten in #289. Lucky nominated the song and it made the #2 spot. None of the songs from that Top Ten have been entered on the list yet, that's why no one noticed before.
MindCrime Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 That was only a month ago The new #10 would be "I'd Rather Go Blind" - Etta James, which would bump The Cult's "Edie (Ciao Baby) to #9.
Lucky Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Posted June 27, 2012 Well holy crap, no wonder it was so familiar to me. Apologies to all, the every song lists should be updated, I'll get them done asap (no joke, before next weeks ten). Since the song went all the way through the process, we'll do exactly as MC mentioned. Lowdown is out, Far Away Eyes is in as the new #1. New list coming up ..... The Songfactors' Choice Top Ten #294 1. Far Away Eyes - The Rolling Stones (1978) 2. The Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden (1982) 3. A Groovy Kind Of Love - The Mindbenders (1965) 4.

Lucky Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Posted June 27, 2012 If you are interested in how the points broke down, since Lowdown is out, and we had a couple of ties, see below: Lowdown - Boz Scaggs (1976) 48 (out - already made the ten) Far Away Eyes - The Rolling Stones (1978) 41 Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden (1982) 38 A Groovy Kind of Love - The Mindbenders (1965) 31 Gone Away - The Offspring (1997) 30 Summer Wind - Frank Sinatra (1966) 30 Quarter To Three - Gary U.S. Bonds (1961) 28 Jump in the Line - Harry Belafonte (1961) 27 New York City Serenade - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (1973) 27 Edie (Ciao Baby) - The Cult (1989) 26 I'd Rather Go Blind - Etta James (1968) 23 If you are interested in how the ties are broken, the criteria is first, by number of players voting the song, second by vote placement (number of 1st place votes, number of second, etc).
