edna Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 And what if you nominate, let's say, for instance... ZootWoman and "Automatic"...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 And any Badfinger tune?....we might be able to make a deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 edna, that probably wouldn't be a good idea, since we two would be the only ones voting for it Laurie, I'm sorry, but several weeks ago (or has it been months? ) I made a deal with myself to only nominate 90s (or 00s) songs until one of them gets a #1 and that can take a few years...

edna Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I promise I'll vote your nominations -whatever it is- until one makes the #1... hey, my nominations don't even make the Top Ten... and I still have them in my iPod... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 well, I'll be already happy if any song from the 90s mad it to #1, it doesn't have to be one of my nominations but since I'm one of only two or three who even nominate 90s songs...

_Laurie_ Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 hmmm well I'll have to take a look through these...what are they called, 90's songs?....Maybe I'll hear something I'll like.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I've nominated some Oasis songs before, as well as some stuff by Travis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I have a found a 1995 song that I like...for my next nomination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 ^ yes, I know that but sadly (imho) it's a fact that the 90s don't have a big lobby here (I mean songs like "Come as you are" or "Under the Bridge" just barely scraped into the Ten) to tell you the truth, I can understand that some Songfactors got too frustrated with this, so that they don't participate anymore... btw, that's not meant as an accusation to anyone, and I certainly wouldn't want you to vote for songs that you don't like... that's just the way it is some things will never change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fish Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I've nominated a few 90's and onward songs before, but I think my taste in music there is a bit obscure. I'm still trying to play catch-up on all of the music from the 80's back, and holy crap, have I ever missed a lot. I try to watch music videos for the available songs when I find the time (well, more like care), just so I can get everyone's nominations a fair shot.

Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 that's just the way it is some things will never change Bruce Hornsby! 80s! Two comments, if you all will indulge me. If you prefer not to indulge me, stop reading here. 1] I'm one of the old folks around here, and I nominate and vote for 90s stuff on a regular basis. I just nominated a 90s song, for criminy's sake. And hardly anyone voted for it. which leads me to my second comment... 2] I have said this until I am blue in the face. Farin, you brought up the fact that people get frustrated and don't participate anymore because their noms don't make it into the top ten. This mini-rant has nothing at all to do with you, you just happened to bring it up. I adore you with all of my heart. With that said, people getting upset that their songs don't make it in the top ten never fails to blow my mind. This started out as a happy little diversion in the Fun & Games forum. Old Fitty put a lot of effort into cultivating it. It grew into a sub-forum because we all thought it was fun. Somehow it has grown into a competitive monster making machine. I will never, ever in a million years understand why a person would get upset because not enough people voted for their song. Did you write the song? Did you produce the song? Did you sing backup on the song? Did you work in the factory that pressed the album or CD? I think not. Therefore, there is no need to take it personally. I have such odd and diverse tastes in music that I am tickled when anyone votes for my songs. I was thrilled beyond belief that "Bitchin' Camaro" had multiple votes. But if no one at all had voted for it, that would have been fine, too. I just don't get it, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I fully agree. My nominations might be a bit more mainstream, which is probably not the right expression but you get my drift, but when I nominate songs I don't expect anyone to know and then someone else ends up voting for it, I'm thrilled. I still remember Phil and CeeCee voting for I Don't Need No Doctor by Humble Pie. And I don't think it'd be very different if my nominations never made it.

blind-fitter Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) I absolutely agree that it shouldn't matter either way, and I'll carry on nominating whatever I fancy, safe in the knowledge that it'll normally fall flat on its arse. Having said that, I'm absolutely stoked to get "Ace Of Spades" into the Top 5! Just how splendid is that??!

_Laurie_ Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) Nominate what you like, it's as simple as that! But then again in the words of Homer Simpson ... "Everyone knows Rock n' Roll attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact." Homer Simpson Love that quote Farin!

OLD 55 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Well, being the Oldie, I think it's a great Top Ten. I was really surprised that Happy Together and Seasons In The Sun missed out first time around. I thing Along Comes Mary is also a renomination ? Maybe Dappled can Post a list for this Ten ? Also my ambition is to get an Elvis song to #1. I just have to find one you all know and like ! Haven't we already had a 90s #1 ? It's the poor old 80s that have missed out. Except for synthesisers and interchangeable Boy Bands I didn't think they were too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Oh there's a few Elvis tunes I like 55!...I almost put one in the last time...but I keep changing my mind so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Haven't we already had a 90s #1 ? It's the poor old 80s that have missed out. Except for synthesisers and interchangeable Boy Bands I didn't think they were too bad. yes, indeed: "Alive" made it #1 already, a song that quite a few of you didn't even know... but that was in June last year, since then we mostly (only?) had 60s and 70s #1s I myself am more a fan of the 90s (having grown up at that time), but if you'll nominate a cool 80s tune I will certainly vote for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Also, it's good to see Namahage back. Don't you go getting banned again when you have to vote. And when I was looking in the "Have You Seen Me" Thread I realised that I'd missed levis' Birthday. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY RADHIKA. HERE'S A PRESENT FOR YOU. The latest heart-throb in India, Australian cricketer Brett Lee, who has a Top Ten song there. I think he has Asha Bhosle, the Indian Diva who has been around before most of you were born, to thank mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hey Laurie and Farin. Maybe I could put on an Elvis "check-list" My favorites of his (that haven't been in the Ten) are probably A Fool Such As I, Don't Be Cruel, His Latest Flame, She's Not You, It's Now Or Never, Kentucky Rain - not his real Rockers. I don't know if you'd consider the 80s songs I like cool, Farin. I've already nominated a few, but only "Every Breath You Take"/Police has made the Ten. I might re-nominate "Centerfold"/J.Geils Band. A great opening to it and a good story about a lady who has her stomach stapled. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) I like Suspicious Minds, It's Alright Mama, It's Now or Never, and Kentucky Rain.... For my Elvis tunes.. For 80's it varies....I liked alot of the Hair Band Groups that some songs didn't seem to do so well...I also like "Don't You Forget About Me" ~ Simple Minds...reminds me of the movie The Breakfast Club everytime I hear it...and I like "I'll Stop The World And Melt With You"..I'll have to look up the artist..not sure who did that...

OLD 55 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Thanks Laurie. Yes I like all of those. Suspicious Minds has been in, and Kentucky Rain didn't receive much support. I might give It's Now Or Never a try soon, as it's pretty well known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzor Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Oh my lord!!! A song that I nominated made the Top Ten?? And it was a song from 1974 as well!! (Which was when rock attained perfection!) I guess this means my taste in music isn't so far off from the rest of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
