OLD 55 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hmmm, if I nominate The Who's The Ox, there is a chance that it would be their first number one and also the very first instrumental at the top. My friend, I may be alone here, but I've never heard it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judo Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 ALSO, Farin and I propose to make the next Top Ten another "no nominations of songs by Artists who've reached #1 in our Top Tens" if that's generally acceptable. VERY agreeable - speaking for myself of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judo Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I thought Hello, Goodbye would get into the 100 points Club, but it didn't. Here's the current list: In My Life,Beatles,1965,117 points Ticket To Ride,Beatles,1965,107 points Light My Fire,Doors,1967,105 points All Day And All Of The Night,Kinks,1964,104 points Hey Jude,Beatles,1968,104 points The Sounds Of Silence,Simon & Garfunkel,1965,103 points Bridge Over Troubled Water,Simon & Garfunkel,1970,101 points At the outset I thought the same of my S&G nomination of El Condor Pasa which missed the top ten by just two points. My votes would have been different and Hello-Goodbye may have made the top slot if I had known this Beatles's song earlier. I heard it for the first time only after the votes closed. Thanks to our dear Edna I am now richer in good music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judo Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) We need a thread that charts the statistics of all the nominators, like percentage of songs in top 10, number of songs nominated, votes recieved etc. Even if everyone did their own it would be really cool. Just a thought, don't know how realistic it would be. On my lista I've been highlighting my nominations which made the top ten adding the rankings thereon. That's about all I can manage / That's how realistic it can get at my end - juggling work and play. Edited October 14, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 We need a thread that charts the statistics of all the nominators, like percentage of songs in top 10, number of songs nominated, votes recieved etc. Even if everyone did their own it would be really cool. Just a thought, don't know how realistic it would be. it would certainly be interesting to see, but I'm afraid that this could cause the Top Tens to become a competition between the SongFactors... like "Haha! I have more Top Ten songs than you!" And, to be frank, that's the last thing that I want... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I agree , Farin , as I believe we are not all on the same page when nominating nor voting . Some propose/ vote for songs that they think will have a chance to win , while others enjoy offering/ voting for songs that they simply enjoy , get a kick out of , or want to offer as a trip down memory lane , or to educate - and various combinations inbetween . Any compilation of statistics , then , would reveal little or nothing , IMO , and may overcomplicate some lighthearted fun . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Tallone, I think it's great when people come up with new ideas, but I think Kevin may have summed it up with... (It) may overcomplicate some lighthearted fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 My friend, I may be alone here, but I've never heard it. You can find it on My Generation. While it's far down on my list of favourite Who songs (sorry Dappled), it'd get lots of points from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 In the words of Joe South...it's been a gas but I'm gonna have to pass (unless I'm able to download it somewhere; legally of course). How about anyone who hasn't voted in the ULTIMATE TOP TEN please slip over to that Thread and have your two cents' worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 My friend, I may be alone here, but I've never heard it. While I am certainly one of the biggest Who fans here, I haven't heard it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I agree. We need top tens with rules often to avoid more domination from Beatles/Stones/Zep/Floyd/CCR/S&G etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I nominated The Immigrant Song, I have to tell you I am surprised it made #1. I thought top ten for sure. But, we do have smart people around here, so I'm not that surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
