Judo Posted April 30, 2006 Report Posted April 30, 2006 Most often I prefer to use the "Show All" setting, i.e. entire listings on a single page; scrolling does seem endless, but it has one big advantage - when you need to use "Edit - Find on this page" command, searching is just a single click away. PS: You wont need to reach for your bi-focals, the font size does not change
Steel2Velvet Posted April 30, 2006 Report Posted April 30, 2006 Piece Of My Heart - Janis Joplin (BB&THC) Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2
Lucky Posted April 30, 2006 Report Posted April 30, 2006 I hate this part.....3 songs I'd thought of nominating are already here. Back to the drawing board. edna, Katie and Farin....thanks a lot!!
Shawna Posted April 30, 2006 Report Posted April 30, 2006 Come today and I'd forgotten them ! HA! now you know what it's like to be me.
CanAm Posted April 30, 2006 Report Posted April 30, 2006 I'm going to go mellow this time around. Diamond Girl - Seals & Crofts. I really love the music of this folk/pop duo. After Simon & Garfunkel they're my favourite duo. Photographs & Memories - Jim Croce. Although he wrote so many lovely tunes, I think this is my favourite.
Malakin Posted April 30, 2006 Report Posted April 30, 2006 I used to be a casual reader of these forums, didn't post much.. But because of this thread I come to this site faitfully every day now.. I have YOU to blame for that, 55! Anyway, this time around I'm gonna go with: Elvis Costello - Pump it Up David Essex - Rock On
callmeanimal Posted April 30, 2006 Report Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) Celluloid Heroes - The Kinks She Talks To Angels - Black Crowes Edited April 30, 2006 by Guest
OLD 55 Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Posted April 30, 2006 More great songs and more to come I'm sure ! I love reading what you've had to say while I was snoozing. Trust Shawna to catch me out forgetting those song names. From now on I'll keep a pen and paper at my bedside and write down my brilliant nomination choices. Although....if I wait long enough, somebody else will nominate them for me ! So we have you "Hooked On Top Tens" Malakin. Hey that would make a good title for a compilation CD ! I think it's great that the idea clicked and we all enjoy it. I hope that I haven't confused too many people with the dates of the Top Tens. We've now made it periods ending 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th of each month. Our current Top Ten #7 is for period ending 5th May, and this one, #8 should be nominated and voted on by then. Someone asked me about the dates in a PT after reading Farin's Songactors Choice Top Ten Archive. The Archives are a great source of reference. Farin has them arranged in order of votes received, and he also lists the year of each song. He works a lot harder than I do ! It's really play to me. THANKS FARIN Please keep the Nominations coming in. I think it's good that we all seem to be avoiding Beatles and Stones songs this time, giving different Artists/Groups the nod. P.S. IF the 6 Top Tens per month prove to be "too much of a good thing" we can always change it back. We don't want it to become a "chore".
Lucky Posted May 1, 2006 Report Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) I'm not going to agonize anymore...This week... Ain't Too Proud to Beg ~ The Temptations Sentimental Lady ~ Fleetwood Mac I just realized this is probably the only Fleetwood Mac song I would put in the top ten. It's Early Fleetwood Mac/ Bob Welch Edited May 1, 2006 by Guest just dawned on me.
_Laurie_ Posted May 1, 2006 Report Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) Hey All...My computer finally died...but I can still get on Songfacts at work....Farin nominated one that I wanted..."You Aint Seen Nothing Yet"...so that definitely has my vote...my next two are: For What It's Worth ~ Buffalo Springfield No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature ~ Guess Who Edited May 1, 2006 by Guest changed my mind
Kevin Posted May 1, 2006 Report Posted May 1, 2006 Looks like you have to post quickly this week or someone will nominate your tune before you - Katie picked one of mine , as well - " Radar Love " Well , taking a cue from Judo , I'll try a couple of country hits that were pretty popular all around : " Third Rate Romance " - The Amazing Rhythm Aces " He Stopped Loving Her Today " - George Jones
c_s_1987 Posted May 1, 2006 Report Posted May 1, 2006 "The Rain Song" - Led Zeppelin "Behind Blue Eyes" - The Who

OLD 55 Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Posted May 1, 2006 "Behind Blue Eyes" - The Who Good to see you participating c s, but I would have thought you'd have nominated Limp Bizkit's version !

edna Posted May 1, 2006 Report Posted May 1, 2006 Hey All...My computer finally died...but I can still get on Songfacts at work.... That´s not enough, Laurie... I was hoping you would have more posts than me one day... very soon even... I´m sure your daughters have a computer... borrow theirs!
Farin Posted May 1, 2006 Report Posted May 1, 2006 The Archives are a great source of reference. Farin has them arranged in order of votes received, and he also lists the year of each song. He works a lot harder than I do ! It's really play to me. THANKS FARIN That's what you think. I don't have to keep track of the 25 submited Top Tens and add up all the points to one big Top Ten... No, seriously, I don't consider what I do to be work at all It's just a little spin-off of the 'work' you do here, so Thanks Old 55!!
OLD 55 Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Posted May 1, 2006 You're too kind Farin ! It sounds like we both enjoy what we're doing, so it's not really "Work" for either of us. Keep up the good work my friend.
OLD 55 Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) I'm not 100 % convinced that we can manage 6 Top Tens per month. I think we need a minimum of 25 people involved each time or it's not really a true reflection of our collective taste. We'll just play this one by ear. We've got under 4 days to get more nominations and vote, so we'll see how we go, OK ? MORE NOMINATIONS REQUIRED PLEASE Are they all behind the bike sheds again Edited May 1, 2006 by Guest MORE MORE MORE
