OLD 55 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Somebody To Love is one of my favs, Darryl! Here's my nominations: Daniel - Elton John A very moving song Soldier Blue - Buffy St Marie And Daniel is my favorite Elton John song after Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Dappled ! You have my vote on it. Once when I was helping on a "Themed" radio program for a 'middle of the road' AM station, we were trying to find 45 minutes of Sisters And Brothers songs. We were stuck for one, so we finished up using Daniel (My Brother..). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Teacher - Jethro Tull (To prove to Bazooka that Australia thinks Jethro is okay. No flute in this one though, but maybe a little didgeridoo?? ). Do It Again - Steely Dan (Someone nominated this once before and I think it deserves to be re-nominated).

OLD 55 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I think bazooka insulted our Original Australians by comparing them to Jethro Tull Katie ! A didgeridoo would be much more painful than a flute if used incorrectly. Although the flute does put one of Ian Anderson's feet to sleep. He has to jump around to get the circulation going in it.

c_s_1987 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Time for some HARD ROCK! Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana Paranoid - Black Sabbath Sorry for taking no doubt two of the greatest hard rock songs of all time in the same nomination, but I don't think many hard rock/metal songs will make the ten here.

invisible_r Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I don't think you can nominate "smells like teen spirit", i'm pretty sure it's been in the daily top 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Ramble On - Led Zeppelin One of the most impressive bass performances in rock. River Of Dreams - Billy Joel Such a great theme in lyrics. "Searching for something ... that can only be seen by the eyes of the blind" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
