Sorry - I just didn't know most of the nominations this time, and one listen just doesn't do them justice.

[MindCrime]

Edna, it was brought to my attention that your Bob Dylan song was omitted from the voting list. I have your original choice by Abba in there. We need a confirmation comment in a new post indicating when a nomination changes, since I log the noms down as soon as I see them posted, so I don't have to do a lot of work at once. I do apologize for the inconvenience however.

[MindCrime]

one listen just doesn't do them justice

That's the same problem I have. It's hard to fit a song into my top 10 favorites based on only hearing it for the first time. Doesn't mean I don't like the song, just it's hard for it to compete with the songs I've known the lyrics to for so long and can sing along with while listening to it.

Thanks to everyone who participated

[MindCrime]

Great list overall. It's weird seeing J.E.W. make it in a list with such iconic legendary artists. I remember when they were just a local band here in Phoenix and didn't seem like they actually had a chance in hell of ever hitting national mainstream.

My top 5 all made it in, and 2 more, that's gotta be a first.

[phil]

Yeah for Warren Zevon.

[OLD 55]

Great to see Elvis get his first #1 in our Tens. :sing1:
