Dappled Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 A couple of songs by artists new to our top ten: She's Got a Ring in His Nose and a Ring on Her Hand - Savoy Brown (maybe someone here will know it, and like it) Handbags and Gladrags - Chris Farlowe (maybe Rod Stewart's version is better known, but Chris made the original) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Thanks for the facts, Dappled! High Hopes - Pink Floyd That will be high on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I didn't check the list of songs that made the top tens. I hope it isn't on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) High Hopes - Pink Floyd I've already nominated this, but I just wish such a great (but not very popular) song could make the top ten. Hopefully Connor knows this one, and he will be here to help it out. It has a great video, and you can see it here. And it most certainly didn't make the top ten last time - I put it at number one, but only one other person voted for it.

c_s_1987 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Oh yes, thanks for your list Dappled. Maybe someone will have to try and get that elusive 1969 #1 (but that doesn't mean anyone should nominate Whole Lotta Love - that will just increase the number of Zep complaints ).

Good analysis thanks. What it tells me is that there are a bunch of us old-timers at SongFacts. (And we love our classic rock). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
