Hi everybody. It's funny how we can all see each other's names in the 'online now' box but not many people greet each other ! Doesn't seem as friendly a place as it used to be.

Fintan, I just found out the source of your username. I didn't know The Who had a song called 'The Seeker'.

:P

I read in my UK Chart Book that it was a Top 20 Hit there; also that it was featured in the Movie "American Beauty". I'll have to seek it out, because I don't know it.

P.S. Thanks for the clip. I'm a goose ! I DO know it. I have it on their "Ultimate Collection" Anthology.

Goodnight Mate! Cheers Darryl

Well, I was talking on the phone... I was online but didn´t even watch the screen... I talk a lot, I spent... maybe 45 minutes. :cool:

Well, I've never been short of something to say. ;)

The Top Ten just drags out too much for me. In the early days we used to get through 6 a month and had a good rollout for each one.

I can't understand habitually late voters, unless there's a good reason - away with your job during the latter part of the week, or something. It doesn't take long to pick your favorite 10 songs from a list of 50 really.

This should not be taken as a personal attack on anyone.

I'll have a small post to make at the end of this Top Ten.

Namahage, as I said, this should not be taken as a personal attack on anyone. Full credit to you for trying to familiarize yourself with each song.

I look at the Clips or listen to sound samples of songs I don't know, if they are included. It might surprise you to hear that I didn't know 30 of the songs nominated this time by name; some I did when I saw the clips. Chances are if songs are not mainstream Pop I won't know them. Too much AM, hey ? I realise that I'm a Dinosaur.

:P
