And how could you go wrong with a 50s song Joe. :thumbsup:

It's good to see so many people enthusiastic about nominating "Artists/Groups who've never made our Top Tens before" for #49 !

Then we can go all out with the big guns in #50. If we're still going to make "Stairway To Heaven" an automatic nomination, I'm going to try my hardest to nominate songs to challenge it for #1 ! Not because I don't like the song, I do, but I'd like to see something knock it off. Go the underdog !

It'll certainly be in my Ten, Laurie !!!

I agree Lizard, but there's a few great Beatles' and Stones' songs that could topple it. (And lots of other great Artists too !). My favorite Doors' songs all did the rounds before you joined, I think. I nominated Love Her Madly and Riders On The Storm.

Hey I make it about 11.30 PM Sunday, U.S. Central Time (if that's what it's called). IF I opened Top Ten #49 in a half hour, would you want to nominate then ? Or are you all off to bed ?

OK Lizard. And are school days the best days of your life ???

I had two teachers who used to hit first and maybe told you why later. One used to bash Kids on the back, thus his nickname "Basha".

I met one of them a few years ago, then a frail old man, but I couldn't really muster any anger towards him then.

:P

good times, bad times, you've know I've had my share.

High school was the best of times and the worst of times. I kept a journal all through high school and go back and read it occasionally. I truly wish I could go back to that age, but take with me all the life experience, self-confidence, and knowledge that I now have, and live it again. I wouldn't be such a wallflower.
