OLD 55 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks Katie ! A very entertaining Video. Trouble was I didn't really concentrate on the song - I was watching the video; it's like a History lesson. I'll have to 'acquire' it and listen to it a few times.

OLD 55 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 It should be an interesting Top Ten. I haven't been keeping score, as Farin's running this one. I suppose Led Bloody Zeppelin will be in there again ! You 'Kids' would vote for Robert Plant burping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_s_1987 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) It should be an interesting Top Ten. I haven't been keeping score, as Farin's running this one. I suppose Led Bloody Zeppelin will be in there again ! You 'Kids' would vote for Robert Plant burping. ...or Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Roger Daltrey, Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton for that matter. I assure you Zep aren't the only band I can't help but be biased towards. Edited August 17, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'm not complaining, but just curious... Last time we used the five-day system: 2 day nominations, 2 day voting, and final day results, oui? Now we're back to the usual method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'm not complaining, but just curious... Last time we used the five-day system: 2 day nominations, 2 day voting, and final day results, oui? Now we're back to the usual method? Since we had a discussion about it a few weeks ago, we've gone over to one Top Ten per week, starting monday (or sunday, depending where in the world you live) the rest doesn't follow a schedule. Roughly it's as you said: 2 days nominating, 2 days voting and then the we announce the Top Ten. But it largely depends on the participation, in this case mostly everyone had voted and Darryl and Me decided it would be a good time to close it off. But we're always open to suggestions about changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Nothing I vote for ever gets in the Top 10. Guess I've just got crap taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I had a 3 or 4 list streak of zero votes for either song, and I don't think I've had one anywhere near the top ten yet. Perhaps we have a more selective taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 "More selective" or just "lousy"? The way I see it: as long as I'm not voting for U2, my taste continues to fall somewhere within the normal bounds of decency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 That's the worst my nominations have ever done. No metal fans here at Songfacts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Well, I had Breaking The Law as my No5., Liz. But for a fluke- that two of my favourite bands (The Clash, Skids) happened to be nominated- it might easily have been No 3. One does what one can.

OLD 55 Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) Radhi, everyone except Diggs had voted and he hasn't been around for a couple of days, so we decided to close it off. The main reason is that we want to commence our Special Top Ten, THE ULTIMATE TOP TEN ROUND 1. Behind the scenes, Chris has been working his tush off getting it ready ! He's done a fantastic job and I'm sure we'll all enjoy it. The other reason was that one of my nominations was just clinging on to 10th place. ................................................. Gee, I just looked, and it did just scramble in. Thanks Farin for all the great work you've put in this Top Ten. I always enjoy looking at the breakdown of the Points in the Archives.

OLD 55 Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 YAAAAHHH! I GOT A NUMBER 1!!! WAHOOO!! Well done young Shadows. Who would have thought that a teenager would have been the first to get a 1950s #1 Great nomination. It was previously nominated by phil back in Top Ten #1, but only polled a measly 28 Points that time; there were just 18 voters then. Now the difficult Question - Who's going to be the first to nominate an 80s #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 ...or Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Roger Daltrey, Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton for that matter. I assure you Zep aren't the only band I can't help but be biased towards. Put "bloody" in front of all of them except Clapton too. (And add Neil Bloody Young). I just heard he's (Eric Clapton) coming to Australia next February. Maybe I'll go to my first (real) Concert in over a decade ? You know, I probably appreciate The Who more since they started to appear in our Tens. I have a 2 CD 'Greatest Hits' which I've been playing a lot lately. They were always in the Songfacts Daily and Weekly Tens but haven't been lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
