Shawna Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Okay... since I'm in the process of setting up an interview with the God that is Charlie Daniels, I'll pay homage to him this week and nominate: "Uneasy Rider" ~ Charlie Daniels Band and friends of his: "Heard It In A Love Song" ~ Marshall Tucker Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Give Charlie our best. I heard Uneasy Rider on the radio last night. Karma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks for the free publicity Farin. And Shawna, you're going to meet Charlie Daniels?!? He's one of my heroes. I'd cut off my feet to gain his talent with the fiddle. Everytime I tell someone I can play the fiddle, the first thing I hear is "Can you play Devil Went Down to Georgia?" To my shame, my answer is still no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 hmmmm... sorry to disappoint you all... but I won't actually be meeting him face to face, rather talking to him on the telephone in another couple of weeks. I will definitely keep everyone posted! Of course, you can still all vote for my nomination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Shawna said in a Post in the previous Top Ten: I know this was said in jest, but I find it intriguing that the four bands considered "supergroups" (by more people than CC)are all from Europe. Eagles and Fleetwood Mac are my two "supergroup" choices. AMEN Shawna! The two best Groups of the 70s. I think the Brits had the best of the 60s, but the U.S. Groups absolutely 'killed' them in the 70s, the Stones being the only true U.K. survivors. That other newly formed U.K. Group did O.K. in the 70s too. Their 9 Albums have sold almost 100 million Albums in the U.S., so I suppose I have to give Led Zeppelin a mention. (I still prefer the Eagles and The Mac though). I'm amazed that groups like America, Aerosmith, Bread, Boston, Carpenters, Chicago, Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, ETC (I won't do D-Z, but special mention to Three Dog Night) rarely get a mention in our Top Ten. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 and amen to you, brother Darryl! I love all those groups in your A-C list. I've still got an old old old Bread album that has one of the best songs ever on it - "Nobody Like You." I always thought I was just a bit of a cheese head for loving those groups. But since you do, too... well, at least I know I'm in good company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 No Shawna, we're not Cheese Heads ! Bread was one of the Supergroups of the 70s. I don't know that song you mentioned, but I'll find it and have a listen. I had a couple of vinyl LPs of their's, but I just have their 'Best Of' Cd. I think Chicago were a superb Group. I like their songs with Peter Cetera on lead. There was a "who has the most distinctive voice" thread you might remember, and I went for him and Roy Orbison. I nominated "If You Leave Me Now" a while ago, and was surprised at how little support it received. It was one of the biggest Hits of the 70s here in Australia. I might as well throw in a couple of nominations ! My Wife, daughter and grandchildren are out, so I've managed to grab the computer without having to go into "Children's Sites".

I think the Brits had the best of the 60s, but the U.S. Groups absolutely 'killed' them in the 70s, the Stones being the only true U.K. survivors. :guitar: Let’s see if the data supports this. In 2006 we had 44 top tens. 132 songs placed in the top 3: 62 songs (or 47.0 %) were from the UK, and (surprise, surprise) 64 songs (or 48.5 %) were from the USA 6 songs were from the rest of the world Songs from the different decades: 50s: 3% 60s: 53% 70s: 39% 80s: 2% 90s: 3% 34 UK songs and 32 US songs were from the 60s 25 UK songs and 26 US songs were from the 70s The Beatles were the most successful artists with 14 songs in the top 3. The list: Beatles: 14 songs Rolling Stones: 7 songs Led Zeppelin: 5 songs Jimi Hendrix: 4 songs CCR: 4 songs 9 songs were sung by female artists.

edna Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Simon&Garfunkel, CCR, Bob Seger, Patti Smith, Eagles, Janis Joplin, Doors, Michael Jackson, Motown team are some of the top bands/artists... they are American. I think the balance US/UK is fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) These nominations are dedicated to Darryl, since he felt a little "old" voting in our last Top Ten.

Shawna Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Dappled - thanks for those statistics! Now I feel better. Your stats are always very interesting to me, mostly because they let me prove (to myself) that I'm not certifiable. Keep 'em comin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Isn't it great to 'talk' to my friends. A few Posts I've replied to below. The main reason I was taking a break after Christmas was because Karen (our eldest Daughter) and Alyssa and Christopher ( our Grandchildren 5 and 2 1/2) are staying for a month before going back to the wilds of North West Queensland. We've been out all morning so they're tired out now (I know I am)and they're watching a DVD, so I get to log onto the computer without having to go into a Kids' Site. Thanks to Farin and CeeCee I'm free to enjoy the Grandchildren while they're here - another 2 weeks yet. ................................................. Laurie: The Guess Who would definitely be on my U.S.list (except they're Canadian). How about re-nominating "American Woman" some time ? Jenny: Thanks for those 2 old Soul songs. Love The Drifters. blind-fitter: You brought me back to earth. You've got me stumped with those 2 Mate. Katie: I'm a bit two-faced with Alice Cooper. There's a lot of his songs I really like, but some just don't get to me. Rayzor: Good to see some Canadians nominated. Don't forget to vote this time ! Celine Dion and Anne Murray are my two favorite Canadians (besides Kevin), but I don't think too many others would vote for them. Dappled: What do I say ? You're The Man ! Your stats prove The Beatles and Stones dominate, but I have no problem with that. I think they also show we need some more women artists in the Top Tens! I've got a Dusty Springfield song for my next nomination. Cheers All. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
