OLD 55 Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Or you could do it like me. I go to the Archive and use the search function of my browser to search whether the songs I want to nominate were already posted sometime before... Huh It's alright for you youngsters who can use computers. I don't even know if I can do that with my browser. But of course I did go through the excellent Archives. I was going to nominate "Crying"/ Roy Orbison next time but it's already been in a Ten. The old memory isn't as good as it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 No ! I was just joking. I'll give that a try. Thanks Farin. Keep up the great work with the Archives. I had a really good look at them when I was going through the Top Tens today. I also had another look at Judo's graph; there were no 50s songs at all last month in the Top Ten. I'll have to think up a good one to nominate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judo Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 OleFif, I've got fifties on my mind all the time. 50's just don't make it to the top ten. Of late I am trying to nominate one old and the other as new and as likeable as possible. Even, if they dont make it to the top ten I will continue to nominate/re-nominate oldies. No point in nominating something I don't appreciate / have not heard yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I too am very happy John Lee Hooker made the top ten. He's one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Despite my best efforts with Start Me Up, we still got another top ten entirely from 1960-1975. I'll have to keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I was thinking we had some 50s, Boom Boom being older than that until I looked it up. And I wasn't sure when Ray Charles' version of Georgia On My Mind was released either. It was written in 1931 by Hoagy Carmichael, who also of course wrote what many consider to be the greatest song of the 20th Century, Stardust.

edna Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 A very classic Top Ten... I like it! I thought some songs such as "The Killing Moon" , "Surrender" or "Sorrow" would get more points, but it´s hard to beat the classics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Great stuff as usual Farin. Not even one 50s nomination ! I'll have to think long and hard about that. Some Classic that at least a few people besides me will know. We still haven't had: A 50s, 80s, 90s, 00s #1 A female solo artist or Group #1 An Instrumental in the Top 10 Thinking caps on before we nominate for Top Ten #14 soon Goodnight All.

rtstuff Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hey OLD 55 I still have kids in class today that bring guitars to class and will knock out a littl "House of the Rising Sun". It truly is a timeless classic. rtstuff The question remains how many a young man has visited the "House Of the Risising Sun"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I too am very happy John Lee Hooker made the top ten. He's one of my favorites. Me too. I love the whole bluesy, R&B feel to this top ten. I didn't even have one close this time, which reflects my lack of concentration on this one...I would still like to get Jackson Browne in there! Good job to everyone!!!

Sweet Jane 61 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Good Top 10, I am happy to see my Otis Redding tune in there but bummed I didn't get to vote with it being the holiday weekend was not able to get online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 That doesn't surprise me rt. The song seems to have been around for a long time, well before The Animals recorded it. It was originally titled "Rising Sun", and sung by a female. The lyrics have undoubtedly undergone a few changes and of course it's now regarded as being about a lad and a house of ill repute. It sure knocked our socks off when we first heard it in 1964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
