OLD 55 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Whilst we want to keep this Thread free for statistics and restrict other Posts here, I think this reinforces my statement that many people would vote for a track of Robert Plant burping, Farin.

Judo Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I think we can safely say that nobody's gonna be surprised about the Top 4 songs The Beatles got their #1 with more than 100 points (again ), and the Stones have two songs in the Top Ten You can say that again Farin. This is my first top slot in the top tens. :happybanana: I could have done this a lot earlier if I had not to refrain from nominating the Beatles. I guess this was a last shot at too much of a good thing. Hey Porter got no other vote 'cept mine, however I am very glad that CASH made it into the top ten with OLD 55's Ring of Fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
