Tenacious_Peaches Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I can't be held accountable because I still have both feet firmly planted in the 80s. It's a sickness...I'm looking into rehab for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Well that certainly created discussion. I've really enjoyed reading your posts. So you want to take Aqualung out girls ? I don't blame you. Where's the flute on it. That's the only thing that makes them tullerable. The next one was You Shook Me All Night Long on 45 Points, but how could you vote for a Band where the lead guitarist dresses up as a schoolboy ? Naah, we'll bump it. Next was I Can See Clearly Now on 42, a great feelgood reggae number, which I just happened to vote as my #1. I suppose we could put that up there. Or Unchained Melody which scored 41. NO ! THE SONGFACTORS HAVE SPOKEN. All that talk about 80s songs and NO mention of 50s ones (when I was growing up). Thanks for the suggestion Malakin and Peaches, but I hope we don't have to have a "50s or 80s Only" themed chart to get one ! They'll just have to get there on their merits. ................................................. NOMINATIONS FOR TOP TEN #3 ARE NOW OFFICIALY OPEN !

Lucky Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Ladies.... don't you think of Tull as "guy" music? I can't stand Tull. Maybe Locomotive breath, but that's about it. No, not the flute, not the eyeing little girls with bad intent, just the voice and the music. I honestly have never heard any woman I know say "I just have to get that "new" Tull album." Thick As a Brick was played constantly, by guys. That's just the way it was where I'm from. I appreciate the talent just don't care for the music. Simple as that. Now my nominations....hmmm I've got to take more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 You got my votes with those two CeeCee. I'll cross Stand By Me off my list of prospective nominations. If it gets in we can count it in the 60s and the 80s, because it charted again when they used it for the Movie "Stand By Me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Make sure it's the full blown version of Crimson & Clover too. I want the full layered guitar solo. Either version will count ! You put me onto the longer one, thanks, RonJon. I acquired it and play it often now. I just don't ever remember any AM radio stations playing that in Australia. We didn't have FM then.

RonJonSurfer Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 New York doesn't have an "oldies" station anymore. Classic Rock won't play C&C which stinks. There is a New Jersey station that plays a wide variety of stuff from 50's to 80's (weekends only) and they only play the shortened AM version. I guess I need to get the vinyl out.

OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Funny RJ, I alternate between two AM stations just because they play oldies. As you said, you don't hear any long versions like CCR's "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" though. About the longest Pop song they play is Like A Rolling Stone. That was always good value on the jukebox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 These oldies stations try to play an abbreviated version of Freebird which just sounds silly. Where's Sweet Jane...she wouldn't do this to us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
