Kevin Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Everything doesn't have to be a learning exercise , Old ! You call for a couple of tunes ; we give them , and then see if anyone else likes them as much as we do , presently . Right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 No obscure Album Tracks please. I think this is what threw me off nominating anything before Oldfif, but I'll try be more mainstream just for you Crazy - Gnarls Barkley Munich - The Editors I've been listening to these a lot lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Well, I let that one slide Angel. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, and maybe ones that are "obscure" to me are well known to others. I suppose if a track's obscure enough that nobody knows it, it won't get any votes! Thanks for nominating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose we can't ask for too much better than 2000 views and 500 replies in a fairly short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Gnarls Barkley - you can read more about them here. Really catchy tune! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Another great top ten! T.Rex made it, yay! I have Rolling Stones fever, so I nominate: Dead Flowers - The Rolling Stones And because they did a fantastic cover of this: Night Time Is The Right Time - Ray Charles Katie wasn't that cover fantastic??!! Sammy didn't care so much for it but I thought it was great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Sorry BB. Das nominated "Are You Sure" - Willie Nelson. I still don't know it. Sorry, Darryl. "Are You Sure?" may indeed be obscure. I have it on a compilation of his early stuff, including his version of "Crazy" and others like that. If you'd like me pick another to I'll gladly substitute "Hurt" by Johnny Cash.

Lucky Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'm getting confused, with the new top ten not yet voted for, and all the nominations for the next one. Is it just me?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Sorry, Darryl. "Are You Sure?" may indeed be obscure. I have it on a compilation of his early stuff, including his version of "Crazy" and others like that. If you'd like me pick another to I'll gladly substitute "Hurt" by Johnny Cash. I hate to admit this but I don't know the Johnny Cash one either ! I'll leave things as they are. It's funny how we all have some favorites of different Artists that others may not know. I love "Sad Cafe" by The Eagles, but I haven't nominated it because I don't think it's one of their widely known songs ? (Not here in Australia anyway).

OLD 55 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Me too. I don't blame you CeeCee. We've still been nominating for Top Ten #4. We haven't voted on that yet. It's my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned the suggestion for a "5 day" instead of "7 day" Top Ten yet. I was hoping for more feedback on that, but I should have treated it as a separate issue. I can't even get people's names right ! Sorry CeeCee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
