OLD 55 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Thanks guys ! So we just have 3 more to vote* and Farin can work out this (highly confusing) Top Ten. The votes are just SO widely spread. Some surprises here. * bluesboy, Brad, Sweet Jane. BY THE WAY.... THE TOP TEN THREADS/ARCHIVES/SONGS FACTS STARTED 3 MONTHS AGO TO THE DAY. WE'VE HAD 2,875 POSTS AND 15,200 VIEWS IN THAT TIME. TAKE A BOW GANG. Edited June 27, 2006 by Guest 15K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Sorry to add to the confusion, but I just realized that I had made a horrific blunder. I had not included Can't You See - The Marshall Tucker Band on my list. I've edited my previous post from number 6 on down. I dropped Mr. Tambourine Man (I love The Byrds, but not that particular song so much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 How could you bazooka Mr.Tambourine Man was MY nomination. Must be a U.S. thing. The Marshall Tucker Band never had a Hit in Australia. I'll change the points Mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judo Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Here's something that truly sucks, which I just realized: some of the songs posted on other lists are songs that I really like, and just never knew the names of them.

Sweet Jane 61 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Once again a female artist so close to being number one...I have faith one will make it! And Farin, what is wrong with the 60's and 70's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 i'm very please to see "alive" in number 1! I was going to nominate it myself Nothing wrong with the 60s and 70s, just need some change! I have personally found the top 10s quite stagnant as it's dominanted by 60s and 70s music. Anyway....

Farin Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Nothing is wrong with the 60's and 70's, but 1. This was the first time that a song of another decade is #1 and 2. This is the first time that a nomination by yours truly made it on #1 you've got that right with the female artist. Through the whole voting it was a race between Pearl Jam and Mama Cass and then Aretha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I love the fact that we've got some of our southern rock rockers on there... Marshall Tucker and the Doobies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I must admit that I never heard "Alive"... Glad to see two ladies in the top ten... and I thought I was the only who would like "Crocodile Rock"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Yay, Pearl Jam! Isn't this the second time Aretha has been at #2? She could give lessons to all these "divas" out there on how to REALLY deliver a song. Overall, I think this is a great list!

The Seeker Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I never heard Alive either, edna...but it seems like it's a good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 PS: for anyone who doesn't know the song, here's Alive (Live) ~ Pearl Jam OK ... heard it, saw it. Could not consider this a top ten song due to the fact that other than "I'm still alive" and "she said ... question ... answer ..." I did not understand the rest of the words. They are certainly gifted musically and the performance was very high energy, ala The Who. But the lead singer makes Joe Cocker sound eloquent. When it's not an instrumental, I like messages with the song. I guess I'm just picky that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 there is a message in "Alive"! just because you couldn't make out the lyrics... Son, she said, have I got a little story for you What you thought was your daddy was nothin but a... While you were sittin home alone at age thirteen Your real daddy was dyin, sorry you didnt see him, but Im glad we talked... Oh i, oh, Im still alive Hey, i, i, oh, Im still alive Hey i, oh, Im still alive Hey...oh... Oh, she walks slowly, across a young mans room She said Im ready...for you I cant remember anything to this very day cept the look, the look... Oh, you know where, now I cant see, I just stare... I, Im still alive Hey i, but, Im still alive Hey i, boy, Im still alive Hey i, i, i, Im still alive, yeah Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh... Is something wrong, she said Well of course there is Youre still alive, she said Oh, and do I deserve to be Is that the question And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...
