the cure"in between days"

Air "sexy boy"

[Farin]

Air "sexy boy"

you just have to love that song (and video)...

it's so... sexy...

[Malakin]

Rush - Tom Sawyer (I can't believe no Rush has made any list yet!?!?)

Genesis - Mama (No Genesis either!?!?! I might cry)

[Farin]

Tom Sawyer probably didn't make it, because it's almost always in the Daily or Weekly Top Ten (like now)

so maybe you might want to change it...

[bazooka]

A couple of re-nominations

• Mr. Soul --- Buffalo Springfield
  
  
• Treat Her Like A Lady --- Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose
  

[OLD 55]

I lovingly maintain this List, which shows every song/artist that's ever made our Top Tens. Any that have made #1 are in red.

Please take a look at: Every Song That's Made The Songfactors' Choice Top Tens ). It's interesting reading, I think.

It's really not that difficult to read even though it may look complicated. !

I made an oops. The Lemon Song can wait.

[Steel2Velvet]

Zeppelin is a no-no for this Top Ten. See the first post of this thread.

[TheLizard]

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix it as soon as I think of something.

[CanAm]

Everybody's Talkin' ~ Harry Nilsson

Carolina In My Mind ~ James Taylor

Great nominations, Laurie!

I nominated Everybody's Talkin' quite some time ago and it didn't make the cut. I hope it does better this time. You've definitely got my votes for both your noms.

I have been waiting patiently for Tom Sawyer to drop out of that list. However, the list appears to have stayed exactly the same for well over a month now. It seems a bit strange to have these top tens as an alternative to the daily and weekly top tens if they are not being updated.

I am not going to whinge or complain too much about this, but perhaps we should just politely ask Carl why they are not being updated. If he has a good reason, I'm sure we can excuse him.

[CanAm]

I Knew The Bride - Dave Edumunds

Link

Centerfield - John Fogerty

I may be on shaky ground with this CS , but this has been questioned ( by myself and others ) in the past and from what I recall , the lists are ( believe it or not ) relatively up to date , eventhough they may not seem so as they are so very stationary and repetitive . I'll relate how I understood the workings of those lists - though it's been a longtime now :

I think if you look at the Daily list , most are songs that are very popular and perhaps lyrically sophistocated - and are what bring new viewers to the main page to check lyrics or info about these songs . Are there really that many people checking "Stairway " or the others daily ? I guess so - or so I've been told ( I wish I could recall the thread ) .

Once on the main page , I guess that people then check out the lyrics / song facts of these other popular songs ( perhaps by the menu prompts of these identical lists rather than just randomly , I would guess ) as well and , thus , the standings in the Weekly list - and the usual suspects appearing often in both lists . I know I'm always pleasantly surprised to see new songs move in or a shift in rankings as it is the only clear evidence that there is something at work in them - though it's often akin to watching glaciers melt .

Moderators or anyone else who can help out here ?

[phil]

Badge - Cream

This Guy's In Love With You - Herb Alpert

[Shadows]

My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes To Bitgurg) - The Ramones Video Here....The video is terrible, some random boy sitting there being annoying, but it was the only good video with a clear version of the song on it. So just ignore the video.

My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) - Neil Young Watch it here

[Shadows]

Badge - Cream

Cream has actaully already been number one

[Uncle Joe]

Treat Her Like A Lady --- Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose

That's got my vote for sure.

Laur, your two get votes from me also.

[_Laurie_]

Thanks CanAm and Joe....and Joe, I've shown you mine, now lets see yours.....Nominations Joe, nominations...

[Red Fish]

Real World - Matchbox 20 (video)

Ever The Same - Rob Thomas (video)

[OLD 55]

1. Waterloo ~ ABBA

2. Sweet Caroline ~ Neil Diamond

Shawna gets my votes for these (9th and 10th). No, most likely higher.

Also, I've PT'd Carl to ask him about the lack of movement in the Songfacts Daily and Weekly Top Tens.

[Lucky]

That Neil Diamond song especially. I love that song. You got mine too Shawna!

My nominations this week are:

Imaginary Lover ~ Atlanta Rhythm Section

I Think We're Alone Now ~ Tommy James and the Shondells
