OLD 55 Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Fat Bottomed Girls-Queen Tainted Love-Soft Cell C'mon if someone is allowed to nominate Every Rose Has Its Thorn, I should be allowed to nominate those two. Good songs jman ! I like Every Rose Has It's Thorn too. Just couldn't squeeze it into my last Top Ten. Tainted Love is the consumate 80s Pop Song, and just about anything by Queen is good.

callmeanimal Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 The Kinks really deserve to have one of their great songs in the Top and Waterloo Sunset is one of the finest pop songs ever. It may seem I have nominated it because Old 55 has mentioned it, but, in fact, it was my proposition for this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) Songfacts (please tell me if these are incorrect): Hush - Deep Purple 'Hush' is a cover of a song by Joe South. Released in 1968 to huge success in the US (but not the UK) Track taken from their acclaimed debut album 'Shades Of Deep Purple', released in September 1968. The album reached #24 on the Billboard Album Chart in the US. On the strength of this album, Deep Purple were booked to support Cream on their 'Goodbye' tour but were kicked off the tour for alledgedly upstaging the main act. Wouldn't It Be Nice - The Beach Boys Brian Wilson descibed this song as: "what children everywhere go through... wouldn't it be nice if we were older, or could run away and get married". Brian Wilson: "Listen for the rockin' accordions and the ethereal guitars in the introduction. Tony and I had visualized a scene. We had a feeling in our hearts, like a vibration. We put it into music, and it found its way onto tape. We really felt good about that record." Featured in advertisements in Australia - One for Cadbury's chocolate (wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury's) and one for the Lottery (wouldn't it be nice to win a million). Originally the B-side of 'God Only Knows', it became a single and top ten hit in its own right. To Love Somebody - The Bee Gees Written by Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb. Australian Charts: #6 Single from the album 'Bee Gees 1st' released 14th July 1967. Album peaked at #7 on Billboard Album Chart (US). Covered most notably by The Flying Burrito Brothers, Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, The Animals and Tom Jones. Info from wikipedia, answers.com, allmusic guide.

Lucky Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) ok Darryl. Since my original 2 thoughts for nominations are already here, and different songs by some of the same bands are here, I had to go back to my lista. Two totally different directions: Faries Wear Boots ~ Black Sabbath Sister Christian ~ America///disregard this Darryl...It was 5:30, I was sleeping!

Malakin Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Sister Christian is by Night Ranger. America's song with Sister in the title is Sister Golden Hair. I sincerely hope you mean Sister Golden Hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) Sister Christian is by Night Ranger. America's song with Sister in the title is Sister Golden Hair. I sincerely hope you mean Sister Golden Hair. Good Lord excuse my sleep clouded little mind! America was the band. (one of my methods) Sister Golden Hair should have been the song! So... Faries Wear Boots ~ Black Sabbath Sister Golden Hair ~ America Two totally different directions indeed! Edited April 17, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Well that's totally messed up my Top Ten. Too many good nominations again ! This will be very tough. I'll have to bump a few good songs that I'd normally include. We're headed to the beach for the day, so I'll leave nominations open for about another 11 or 12 hours. Thanks Katie for the songs information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
