Dappled Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Some good renominations this time. It will be interesting to see how they will place. Here’s the list and how high the songs placed in a previous list. Billy Joel’s, The Cult's and the Faces’ songs have been nominated twice before. Usually a song will be placed higher the second time around, so Billy Joel will most likely get into the top ten this time. Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes / 37 Don't you forget about me - Simple Minds / 24 Leather and Lace - Stevie Nicks and Don Henley / 24 Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull / 29 Only The Good Die Young - Billy Joel / 24 11 Paper Sun - Traffic / 35 She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult / 42 31 Smells like Teen Spirit - Nirvana / 19 Stay With Me - Faces f. Rod Stewart / 35 29 Way, The - Fastball / 46 Wicked Game - Chris Isaak / 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 It's great to see prefabricated boy-bands finally getting the respect they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Don't even start to compare them to Take That or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I think this is the first time I've gotten both of my songs in the Top Ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 It's great to see prefabricated boy-bands finally getting the respect they deserve. October Winner, Quote of the Month. Nothing like a 'Purely Pop' Song at #1. As someone else said here, thanks also to Neil Diamond for writing it. We don't seem to be able to place him in the Top Ten, which is surprising to me.

phil Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) I'm A Believer was written by Neil Diamond and was also recorded by the Ventures on their 1967 album Guitar Freakout. :guitar: Edited October 28, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 We have also "Bad Moon Rising" in the Halloween Top Ten. I like this list, as usual. I´m surprised some of you gave points to Lou Christie, I thought I was the only one who´d do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judo Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hey Judo, that's cheating! Thanks Lizard for pointing that out. My revised votes are as follows: 1.

I'm Gonna Make You Mine - Lou Christie 7. Voulez-vous - ABBA Because - The Beatles 8. I'll Never Fall In Love Again - Dionne Warwick 9. Let's Spend the Night Together - The Rolling Stones 10.

OLD 55 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 He was great edna. I love that song + Lightnin' Strikes and Two Faces Have I (yi yi yi). I think he did a better falsetto than Franki Valli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not watch the video (streaming is banned here) but from 30 second samplings I heard on cduniverse.com I think I like the artist a lot and gave him my vote too. PS: I was disappointed after hearing Because - not a very Beatle song IMO, but many thanks for sending it my way. Appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I may nominate a couple of bowls of salad next Top Ten. Top Ten #37 and it's Val and my 37th Wedding Anniversary next Wednesday, 1st November. Better vote for my songs, hmm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 He (Lou Christi) was great edna. I think he did a better falsetto than Franki Valli. NOBODY does a better falsetto than Frankie Valli. Well, maybe Elton John in the 70's or Roy Orbison. 'Best male falsetto' might make an interesting discussion thread or even specialty top ten, if it hasn't been done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I'm claiming a top ten placed nomination for REM's Everyone Hurts. It had 47 points - according to the Top Ten Archive - same as Walk This Way which registers as number ten on the list. btw - do I get a cash prize for that? I have been told ...

Farin Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 sorry Ron, we use a Tiebreaker system here... In case two (or more) songs have the same points, we'll sort them by the number of people who voted for them (in this case 10 for both), if this number is still equal (like here), then we'll sort by the highest votes. "Walk this way" got two times a 10, "Everybody hurts" got two times 7 points as highest and so "Walk this Way" gets the sole #10... but besides that I would have liked to see more 90's songs in the Top Ten too...

OLD 55 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 btw - do I get a cash prize for that? I have been told ... Sorry Ron. You only get a cash prize if your Nominations place First and Second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 for the complete list of nominations, points, years etc. look here: Top Ten Archive Thank You No, thank YOU Farin for the great job you do ! I hope others besides Ron have taken a moment to check it out. You could hear a pin drop around here. No one from the U.S. has made any posts in this Thread for two days. North Korea didn't nuke 'em while I was asleep, did they ? Surely it would have been on the News ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
