[Lucky]

1) Just Like A Woman

2)Respect

3)Roadhouse Blues

4)You Send me

5)unchained Melody

6)Revolution

7)Captain Jack)

8)The Weight

9)Lunatic Fringe

10)You Shook Me

[OLD 55]

Thanks for voting RonJon, Batman and CeeCee.

We have votes from two thirds of the eligible voters now

Yes, normally you'd put your own at #1 and #2, unless as CeeCee said someone nominates songs that you like better. The same thing happened to me.

[OLD 55]

BTW...can you type out the word "respect" without singing r-e-s-p-e-c-t???

Good point RonJon.

I didn't put it in my Ten because I've been listening to it for longer than any of you, and I suppose I've grown a bit tired of it. Same with Unchained Melody, which I just couldn't leave out. If I was voting for what I considered to be the BEST songs in the List they'd have been at the Top. But I voted on what I'd like to hear now.

[Lucky]

55 you are not that much older than me....I love Respect as much now as then. Same with Unchained Melody.

[OLD 55]

I was all grown up at 16 when you were born CeeCee.

I have one whole shelf of 60s 'Various Artists' Compilations CDs, and I think Respect and Unchained Melody are on nearly all of them. Except for Respect Aretha was never that big out here, but when I heard Chain Of Fools again in the movie "Michael" I went out and bought her "Gold" Double CD. Love that song !

[Kevin]

Kevin you forgot to put in The Weight on your list...

[Kevin]

I think you are in the wrong thread ... Try random thoughts , "waistline watchers thread " or something like that ...

[OLD 55]

So many good choices...so good that I left one of my nominations off the list.

[Farin]

The Eurythmics

I think it's the same as (The) Sweet, but was wondering non the less if they're known as "The Eurythmics" in Australia and/or the USA. I've never heard it and I'd like to think that in whole Europe they're just "Eurythmics" (at least in Germany they are)...

[Uncle Joe]

Now they're Annie Lennox...lol

[edna]

I´ve worked in their record company and they always were "Eurythmics", with no "The"... In all Europe at least, I don´t know in America or Australia... I like them better now as Annie Lennox...

[OLD 55]

I can't sleep very well (4.30 am here) so I wandered out to the computer. I see I've made a couple of errors with "The"; it's just Eurythmics and I should have The Kinks.

...............................................

I'll probably close this Top Ten off in about 5 hours time, as almost everyone's now voted. Young "nicknameless" (sex unknown) hasn't been back on Songfacts since he/she made his/her nominations and I see Phil's online now. (He was - haven't heard much from him lately). Thanks everyone.

.................................................

Good unholy hours of the morning all. I'm going to go back to bed now.

:sleepy: :sleepy: :sleepy:

I've just invited Joe to have a vote, because he wasn't around when we were doing the nominations. I'm sure everybody will welcome this wise man's input.
