Farin Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Woohoo! Some punk rock at No. 1!!! Could one of you statisticy types confirm whether I once nominated London Calling before, and it failed to make the grade? Or am I hallucinating again? (Come to think of it, maybe it was "Rock The Casbah" I nominated...) London Calling was #16 in Top Ten #7 (April last year), but you didn't nominate it - it was phil Rock the Casbah was nominated twice, in our very first Top Ten - by Kevin, and it got into the Top Ten in #19 (nominated by yours truly ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Pretty darned sure I've nominated one or t'other before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 there were quite a few Clash songs nominated, the only one from you was "Tommy Gun" in list #42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I think perhaps I once intended to nominate Rock The Casbah, only to find that somebody had beaten me to it that week. I remember nominating Tommy Gun. Could have sworn I'd nominated London Calling. I think I'm losing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Another one of my songs made it! I'm on a roll. I'll have to nominate modern songs for #49 so my head doesn't get too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I remember that I nominated London Calling previously, and it didn't do very well. Glad to see you all came to your senses. Also, great to see the Seekers in the top ten, and Dusty.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I was a bit surprised that Just Like Me didn't gather any votes other than my own. Drake Levin's guitar on this (sure, it's multi-tracked) is just such a standout. I know Paul Revere & The Raiders seemed like Dick Clark's dependants, and their later work may have branded them "bubblegum" ( Purportedly, lead singer Mark Lindsay preferred a harder sound, but Revere was pop-bound). Although it was a hit, I think the anti-drug song Kicks ran counter to the Rock milieu at the time of its release. And performing Indian Reservation in their Revolutionary War getup was a strange mixed metaphor to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) My reaction to A Punk Song at #1 Could've been worse; could have been ©Rap. Believe it or not it just missed out on my Ten. * I like it. * I think a few people missed that part before. Edited February 3, 2007 by Guest NOT KNOCKING THE SONG !

OLD 55 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Also, have we had 3 female singers in a Top Ten before Dappled, can you help please ? I'm sure you'll have it. Our Top Tens are usually Group or male dominated. To the Ladies, God bless them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I don´t consider "London Calling" as a typical punk song. It´s a catchy song and it´s done by a "half-punk" band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
