OLD 55 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Minnie Riperton had an amazing voice. That was on my 'short list'. There's a lot of artists I like who've been nominated, but not all the songs chosen, and there's many I just don't know. I'm sure if I'd nominated The Stones' version of As Tears Go By it would have a lot more points than Marianne Faithfull's. That doesn't bother me. I'm probably getting cynical as I get older, but I think you could nominate some of the 'Super Groups' gargling and get votes for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie_sane Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Enjoy Mate. Love Do It Again. It was a huge Hit here in 1968, especially in my home City of Brisbane. We have the best beaches in Australia here in Queensland *, but we're the furtherest Capital City from the surf! Only an hour's drive North or South though. * That will stir up some of my fellow Australians. As a New South Welshman, it is my duty to say that the finest beaches are found south of the border!! But, I live no where near any beaches, so I'll let you get away with that one, 55! I was in Hervey Bay in January though, and the beaches there were great. A chilly -6C or 22F here last night! 1.

rtstuff Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 1. Teach Your Children 2. Walk Away Renee. I agree with OLD 55. This version is much better than the 4 Tops. 3. Summer Breeze. One of the first albums purchased by my wife and I. 4. Mr. Bojangles. One of my dad's favorites 5. Last Train to Clarksville. I loved my Monkeys. I use to watch them on the tube every day after school. 6. Let's Get It On. The smooth, soulful sounds of a legend whose life was cut way too short. 7. Oh Girl. Another soulful tune. 8. Stoned Love. I still like the Supremes even though Diana Ross made a real a$$ of herself later in her career. 9. Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo. I think this came out at about the time my wife and I were dating. 10. Rock You Like a Hurricane. I was only introduced to the Scorpions a few years ago and I liked what I was hearing. rtstuff Let's Get It On. That kinda "cuts" to the chase.
