Shawna Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 It took me 14 rounds, but I finally nominated a song that made number #1 and for the first time, both of my nominations made it into the top 10. Well done. I have only 2 in the top ten so far, and none at #1. I have... unique tastes in music, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie_sane Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I like your style, CanAm But am I that predictable? I really like this top ten too! I voted for half of them I think. But even ones I didn't vote for that made it are good songs that I had to leave out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Nice Top Ten! I love everything CCR did... they are one of the most exciting bands ever. I realise now that "Green Onions" didn't get my vote... there are so many good songs... sometimes I get a little bit lost when it comes to eliminate most of them. I wished Mountain would be in the Top Ten... I'll have to download that song and post a link so you all will vote it next time it's nominated...

OLD 55 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I'm waiting for Earth-Angel to nominate Crazy/ Gnarls Barkley again. I didn't know it last time, but it's in the Australian Charts now and I love it. Some of the old foges (not you or any of the ladies, of course, edna) should have a listen to it. They'll be pleasantly surprised. (Just don't tell the 'Kids' that it's really an R & B song). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_s_1987 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I keep on nominating older songs thinking they'll get more votes, then one of my favourite songs, November Rain, makes the top ten even though it was released in the 90s. I'll have to keep thinking harder - I've only made the top ten one week out of seven I have nominated so far. I thought either Good Times Bad Times or The Kids Are Alright should have made the ten, but both missed out by less than ten points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Shawna, that gurrl rocker you nominated finished ahead of ELVIS Has the world gone MAD well... perhaps it'd be easier to take knowing the song was written by the Boss, Mr. Springsteen?

CanAm Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I think you have excellent taste in music, Shawna! I have voted for quite a number of your selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 You're certainly not predictable, Katie! You're a lady who knows what she likes and who happens to have impeccable taste in music! As for me, I'm trying to become less fuddy duddyish! When Daryl first started this thread, I did not bother to even consider songs with which I was not familiar. Now, I go to online music sites to try and hear at least little snippets of those songs I don't know. I have been pleasantly surprised by some of the songs I've heard. Now I don't dismiss out of hand the newer songs nominated by our younger Songfactors. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted June 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 well... perhaps it'd be easier to take knowing the song was written by the Boss, Mr. Springsteen? Thanks Shawna. I thought Patti wrote it herself, but I see she and The Boss co-wrote it. Some of her songs are a little too much for an innocent person like me. But of course Otis Blackwell wrote All Shook Up. He also wrote/co-wrote Don't Be Cruel and Retun To Sender for Elvis, Great Balls Of Fire and Breathless for Jerry Lee Lewis, + Fever and Handy Man. Thankyouverramuch !

OLD 55 Posted June 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 That's very kind of you and much appreciated CanAm, but of course I couldn't do it without all of you !

OLD 55 Posted June 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 SUGGESTION FOR A TOPICAL TOP TEN THANKS PHIL. We ARE running a couple of days ahead. Our next Top Ten #15 will be for the period ending 15th June. Phil sent me an idea for a Topical Ten which we could use as a fill in I think. "Darryl, just for kicks, maybe we can nominate songs that we truly despise and make a top ten list. Just a thought. take care, Phil." There is a very popular "worst songs" thread in existence which we've probably all visited. Funny how songs that some people like are absolutely hated by others. Which songs make you bristle ? I can't think of any that I really hate though. Let's give Phil's idea a go ! How about we all nominate 2 songs that get up our nose and vote on them for Top Ten Worst Songs #1. We won't archive them. This is just a bit of fun. I will start a separate thread for it, but I'll also leave this one open for the time being for any further comments regarding Top Ten #14 (unless it gets too confusing).

OLD 55 Posted June 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 One of their Best ! It must be a good song for the AM stations to play it. They usually don't play anthing over 4 minutes.
