We had Indian Reservation listed as by Mark Lindsay, who was of course the lead singer of Paul Revere & The Raiders. We had a few double ups in the Nominations which can't be helped. I hope I've got the list right now and haven't missed any ! You'd wonder how these songs only polled 9 Points or less each. Of course there's always a lot of tough competition.

Red Fish Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Since I wasn't familiar with enough songs (and some of the ones I was familiar with were already nominated), I ended up nominating one of my own songs.

OLD 55 Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 And I was just thinking "at least nobody nominated that bloody James Blunt song". I liked it the first few times I heard it, but it just became airplay oversatuated. What's 45 minutes amongst friends ? It's almost Saturday, so I think we'll start. CeeCee mightn't get back online for awhile, because there are tornados where she is. Our Best Wishes and Prayers go out to you Carole. Have a vote now if you can !

OLD 55 Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 bazooka, there were quite a few duplications. I thought with 72 songs we had enough, and I hope nobody will be offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Judo, I don't think you got to nominate at all ? You, and any of our Regulars, are always welcome to vote if you miss nominating. ................................................. And I don't really think the song is all that bad. It just seemed that whenever you turned on the radio or Music TV programs it was always there ! At least the kid wrote it himself; didn't rip off and 'sample' some old song, like the rappers do.

blind-fitter Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) 1) Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've) - The Buzzcocks 2) No-one Knows - Queens Of tHe Stone Age 3) Kiss Off - The Violent Femmes 4) She Bangs The Drums - The Stone Roses 5) Model, The - Kraftwerk 6) Daydream Believer - The Monkees 7) Diamond Dogs - David Bowie 8) Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves - Cher 9) Munich - The Editors 10) Rock On - David Essex Erm...it's probably a bit late to mention this, but No-one Knows" by Queens Of The Stone Age has been missed off the list of nominated songs. I know it was nominated as I tried to nominate it myself, but was pipped to it(by c_s, as it happens) and had to change my nomination... I've voted for it anyway, though I guess its chances of "charting" are small. Edited July 22, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I think this overall list has more good songs on it than some of the regular Top 10s 1. Paradise By The Dashboard Light ~ Meatloaf "So now I'm prayin' for the end of time to hurry up and arrive...: 2. Rock On ~ David Essex "And where do we go from here?" 3. Chevy Van ~ Sammy Johns "You'd better keep your eyes on the road, son, you'd better slow this vehicle down..." 4. Bungle In The Jungle ~ Jethro Tull "Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows, they're fast but they're lazy..." 5. Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves ~ Cher "But every night all the men would come around and lay their money down..." 6. Daydream Believer ~ Monkees "You once thought of me as a white knight on his steed..." 7. Angel Eyes ~ Jeff Healy Band "What did I do, what did I say to turn your angel eyes my way..." 8. Indian Reservation ~ Paul Revere and the Raiders "Though I wear a shirt, a tie, I'm still proud Red Man deep inside..." 9. Holding On ~ Ambrosia "I keep holding on to yesterday..." 10. I'm Winning ~ Santana "I'm winning... I'm winning..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've voted for it anyway, though I guess its chances of "charting" are small. Sorry b-f. Farin wanted to vote for it too (as his #1), so I've added it to the list and adjusted his vote. If anyone else who's voted wants it included in their Ten, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
