RonJonSurfer Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 Maybe it's the "eyeing little girls with bad intent" thing....
Tenacious_Peaches Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 Well, since you put it that way, Ron...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted April 4, 2006 Report 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.
OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report 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 !
OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Posted April 5, 2006 "Spit On A Stranger"-Nickel Creek "Wish You Were Here"-Pink Floyd Here's 2 from JimmyJazz to kick things off. Thanks Jimmy and welcome to our thread. I don't know the first one, but I'll try to find it and have a listen.

Lucky Posted April 5, 2006 Report 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.

Lucky Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) I'll go for a couple of good old 60s Pop Songs ! Crimson And Clover - Tommy James And The Shondells Monday, Monday - The Mamas & The Papas 55 you won't believe this...I was just going to post the very same Mamas and Papas song and another by Tommy James!! So sticking with that theme I'll say: Stand By Me ~ Ben E King Groovin ~ The Young Rascals Edited April 5, 2006 by Guest
RonJonSurfer Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 I'll go for a couple of good old 60s Pop Songs ! Crimson And Clover - Tommy James And The Shondells Monday, Monday - The Mamas & The Papas Make sure it's the full blown version of Crimson & Clover too. I want the full layered guitar solo.
OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report 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".
OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report 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 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 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.
RonJonSurfer Posted April 5, 2006 Report 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...
Lucky Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 I've told you guys before.... Look here... Link
RonJonSurfer Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 CC, I can't get that station in my car....maybe I need to drive out to St. Louis...
Uncle Joe Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 I can't be held accountable because I still have both feet firmly planted in the 80s. How on earth do you ever get your pants off?
Lucky Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 every sunday morning. You could be home in time for work monday! They stream it, dork!
Lucky Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 How on earth do you ever get your pants off? and Peachy....the same pants?
RonJonSurfer Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 But i don't have a computer in my car where I listen to the radio...is it not a real station too?
Batman Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 I'd say Aqualung is the best song on this top 10
