The Songfactors' Choice Top Ten # 10


Recommended Posts

Actually I thought Elliot was the most impressive based solely on his singing performances. I think he really deserves to go to the next round which means I hate to say it,but I thought Catherine's performance last night was poor.

You know, this is the first week someone's already nominated something I was going to nominate.. Children of the Revolution.. So I think to myself, alright, I'll go with 20th century boy.. And then I get to RonJon.. Le Sigh.. Back to the drawing board! :)

And Carl, thanks for nominating the Winwood, he's always great in my book!

Here goes:

Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well

Stone Roses - She Bangs the Drums

All The Young Dudes ~ Mott The Hoople

2. Everybody's Talkin' - Nilsson

Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles

Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel

Three words came to mind after looking at the latest lot of nominations, on top of the ones that were there when I left last night:

"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE" ! How can I possibly narrow it down to Ten? I've had trouble in leaving ones I like out of my Ten before, but this time I'll have to leave out some of my all-time favorites.

There's just so many of these nominated songs that would probably have made #1 in some of our other Top Tens - with respect to our other #1s.

Some of these GREAT songs aren't going to make it (obviously), so don't forget you can re-nominate them. I see a couple of you have done so this time. I'll nominate a couple I mightn't even vote for! Someone else might.

Here goes...Just As A Joke....

Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus

Can't Smile Without You - Barry Manilow

I DO like both of those. I have wide and varied tastes. (Maybe NO taste ?)

rt, I can't decide which of 4 to put as my #1. :P

There's going to be a lot of good songs "crash and burn". I think I'll even be leaving out Beatles' songs ! I just hope some of the greats that miss out are re-nominated later.

Love Story " ( theme from the motion picture ) -- Andy Williams

Also titled "Where Do I Begin". Very appropriate Kevin. :)

Thanks very much Carl ! (The Chief).

I believe he should change his avatar to a more dignified one such as the example above. What do you think ? Unless one of his children drew the current one of course !

:)

O.K. That List Of Nominations 5 Posts back is updated. A couple of our regulars haven't nominated yet, if they'd like to. We have a bit of time up our sleeve, so I'll close off the nominations about 8 to 9 A.M.(my time) Friday (gee it's great being retired!) and we can start voting then. It's just passing 4 P.M. Thursday here.

Of course, ALL SONGFACTORS are welcome, and encouraged, to participate. I'll make a separate Post with our brief rules shortly.
