Levis Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 You know what I'm getting at, Chris. We can't have it all. and I'd rather have an unconventional list than an obvious one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I do sometimes nominate some really great songs from the last 25 years, but they never seem to make the ten or get as many votes as they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible_r Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'm sorry to say that I think I will give up on the top ten for now, it's just rather pointless and I have a rather competitive nature too, so it makes it even more pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 great, now we're even less for nominating and voting for 90's songs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'm sorry to say that I think I will give up on the top ten for now, it's just rather pointless and I have a rather competitive nature too, so it makes it even more pointless If you're competitive, why are you quitting? I would think you would summon up more resolve to get your songs voted at a higher slot. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Come on, Rach, we are joking... Now, who´s the genius that nominated "Careless Whisper"? I wanna thank him/her and send him/her a big box of brownies... I love Johnny Thunders, the wildest Rolling Stones, the freakiest Jefferson Airplane, Tom Waits, the darkest Velvet Underground, I love The Clash and the raw Stranglers... I also love the sweet Stranglers and I love "The winner takes it all" and "How can you mend a broken heart"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be rather frustrating when you nominate your favourite songs and they recieve "only" 15 points... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 well I can understand it to a point. It can be rather frustrating when you nominate your favourite songs and they recieve "only" 15 points... True, but you have to understand the "average" SF'er....it's older folks (that's right) like me. I never even heard of most of the songs from the 80's and up. It's a near impossible task at SF. Thus, (lawyerly summation), just play it for fun! That's all I do....and I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 that's why most folks post a video of their songs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Mine never do, they usually have some 19 or 22 points... This time I nominated one in the Top ten (first time in some 25 or 30 Top tens...)... but it´s cause I had been singing that song for two days, I was planning to nominate some boring Cohen or unknown Dutch 68´s hit...

Jenny Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I, like Radhi, feel like this is one of my favorite Top Tens. I think it represents all eras of music. Just like Tom Sawyer may be relatable to the "older" crowd, Careless Whisper is relatable to those of us who were teenagers or kids in the '80's (like me). Granted, it's not the best song ever written, but it takes us back to "the good old days". I don't hate Tom Sawyer, nor do I love it, but I think it didn't make the top 10 due to overkill. Plus, Geddy Lee's voice is not for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Now, who´s the genius that nominated "Careless Whisper"? I wanna thank him/her and send him/her a big box of brownies... It was I, edna. I think it's a great song. George Michael has a much better voice than the lead vocalists of most of the 'Classic Rock or New Wave' Bands that keep getting nominated ! And I sure wasn't a Teenager when it came out. I was 43 and married with with 5 Kids, but I am young at heart, Jenny. Sorry Malakin, but I'll give Rush the brush. Not my taste. Also, it's a pretty good Top Ten I reckon, although I don't know Cannonball or Dixie Chicken. I notice that neither of my fellow Australians voted for them either, so those songs may not have been as popular here. To each his/her own.
