Malakin Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 I've got it narrowed down to 21 so far... I'll get back to you on this one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Too tough. I could've listed at least 30. I left off some great songs that I love so that I could include some lesser songs that deserve to be noticed like Nature's Way, In The Summertime and Only Happy When It Rains. 1-Sunshine Of Your Love - Cream I can remember dancing to this (strobe lights and all) 2-You've Got A Friend - James Taylor (Carole King penned the penultimate friend song and James sang it like he owns it) 3-Avalon - Roxy Music (is there a more romantic song?) 4-White Bird - It's A Beautiful Day (and it's a beautiful song) 5-Moondance - Van Morrison (overplayed but awesome) 6-Nature's Way - Spirit (captures the spirit of the 60's) 7-City Of New Orleans, The - Arlo Guthrie (with a nod to the late Steve Goodman for writing such a wonderful song) 8-In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry (pure fun, like summer should be) 9-Save The Last Dance For Me - The Drifters (Hey, who wants to slow dance with me?) 10-Only Happy When it Rains - Garbage (my favorite song by Garbage. Love the rain, tho for different reasons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 1. Summer Breeze - Seals And Crofts This song is all about imagery. The lyrics, the music both paint a summer memory from nearly everyone's life. 2. Me And Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin Another imagery song, this from the pen of Kris Kristofferson, interpreted brilliantly by Janis. 3. Rocky Mountain High - John Denver From those first winding guitar curls, we are transported onto a mountain trail with one of the Nature's best troubador friends. 4. Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan One of the great "story" songs ... welcome to reality. 5. Reeling In The Years - Steely Dan This was my first intro to Steely Dan. I thought the lead voice was kind of strange, but the entire musical fusion package was SO magnetic! 6. Dirty Water - The Standells If the Rolling Stones were American - they would be the Standells. 7. Save The Last Dance For Me - The Drifters I heard the latest incarnation of this song by Michael Buble just the other day. It has been covered a lot, but none better than the original. 8. You've Got A Friend - James Taylor I just believe it is true, everytime I hear this song... 9. Ventura Highway - America Back to imagery again, "Chewin' on a piece of grass, walkin' down the road ..." Great writing. 10. Cry Like A Baby - The Box Tops Who among us cannot relate to this reaction to the collaspe of a romance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hi All. I just counted the votes to date, 26 of our 30 'nominators', so that leaves 4 (including me) still to vote. With 1430 votes allocated, there are only 4 songs with over 40 points each. This is the widest spread I've seen in any of our Top Tens. Still to vote: CanAm jman phil Old55 (now I can relax after calculating 26 x 55 votes. Val had to help me find where I was out last time). I have a backup this time. Farin is also checking the votes, and he'll be taking over for the next few Top Tens. Val and I head 500 miles (800 kilometres) North West in a few days to visit our eldest daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren Alyssa and Christopher. Christopher is two on 15th June, so we're using his Birthday as an excuse to visit. Look after Farin for me. I know he'll do a great job. I'll stll nominate and vote on our "kids'" computer. .................................................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 on both of those, CanAm. Those take me back to 9th grade and my first party with *gasp* alcohol. Thank-you so much, Shawna!! Both those songs bring back memories of my high school graduation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 No worries guys. I think Phil works nights, and of course there's all sorts of things I've left until the last minute before we go away that I'm doing today and tomorrow, but I'll finish my Ten soon.

Farin Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Now that you hand the reins over to me, you think that the rules don't apply to you anymore? You can only vote once for each song, you know But I know from a reliable source (himself), that Old 55 wanted to vote Substitute ~ The Who on #1. I'll announce the Top Ten accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Great list, as usual!! Very sixties... and a bit 70/80... I made my list and forgot to include "White Bird", which is a classic and a wonderful song... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 But I know from a reliable source (himself), that Old 55 wanted to vote Substitute ~ The Who on #1. My nominations were Substitute and Love Her Madly. I told Farin Substitute was always going to be my #1 and he could allow an extra 10 for it when we were checking the points yesterday. Great Gig In The Sky was leading at that stage. I was hurrying to get my Ten finished tonight (here) so I could watch "LOST" and typed another song twice. Substitute and Love Her Madly both made the Ten ! First time I've ever had that happen. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
