As for my two cents, I was...uh...only joking back there (about us "youngsters", etc., etc.). I'm stuck in as much mud as anyone else, it's just different mud, that's all...

[Tenacious_Peaches]

but if you notice nominations by the 'younger' people like Fin, TimLizzy, Namahage, Katie, Elvy, Chris, Jenny or Peaches

then they nominate, to a great part at least, 'older' music...

Holy crap, did you just refer to me as a 'younger person'? I love you, Farin.

1. Long Tall Sally -- Little Richard .. I'm fascinated by Little Richard and, of course, Bo Diddley -- flamboyant Black artists who broke into the teen-age Rock & Roll market (Check out the lily white audience in the video). I can imagine how it shocked parents in the 50s. This song is explosive!

2. Down To Zero -- Joan Armatrading

3. Albatross -- Fleetwood Mac

4. Love Is All Around -- The Troggs

5. I Thank You -- ZZ Top .. This version is different enough from Sam & Dave's original to stand on it's own. Sam & Dave had a hit single, backed with Wrap It Up , which, in turn, was covered fabulously by The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

6. Lunatic Fringe -- Tom Cochrane & Red Rider .. For years I thought this was Pink Floyd.

7. Twilight Zone -- Golden Earring

8. No More Mr. Nice Guy -- Alice Cooper

9. Surrender -- Cheap Trick

10.Black Coffee in Bed -– Squeeze

[CanAm]

1. Carolina In My Mind - James Taylor

2. Love Grows(Where My Rosemary Goes) - Edison Lighthouse

3. Authority Song - John Mellencamp

4. Signs - Five Man Electrical Band

5. Train Kept A Rollin' - Aerosmith This is an excellent cover of an excellent tune by the Yardbirds.

6. Twilight Zone - Golden Earring

7. Chantilly Lace - The Big Bopper

8. Don't Worry, Baby - Los Lobos I'm glad to see this great group get a nomination .

9. Long Tall Sally - Little Richard

10. Saturday In The Park - Chicago

Regarding my suggestion, I don't know what age we could use as a cutoff. After all, BF tends to nominate and vote for 90's and 00's songs and yet he is 42 (although I'm sure he is incredibly youthful in both appearance and outlook). Perhaps we could refer to our individual records of nominating and voting to determine who falls in the "younger" category and who falls in the "mature and distinguished" category. Perhaps our statistical wizard Dappled could assist us int this determination?

Wow, I'm up to four cents now. I hope I can afford it.

[Shawna]

who falls in the "younger" category and who falls in the "mature and distinguished" category.

I prefer to be looked upon as a distinguishably mature youngster.

[TheLizard]

I'm wondering where I fit into this equation, as through a freak accident in the Improbability Field, I ended up traveling through every time in the universe simultaneously, and picked up musical tastes from every point in humanity's existence. Ah well, my votes:

2. "Train Kept A-Rollin'"- Aerosmith

3. "Devil Went Down to Georgia"- Charlie Daniels

4. "Layla"- Eric Clapton

5. "No More Mr. Nice Guy"- Alice Cooper

6. "Moby Dick"- Led Zeppelin

7. "You've Got Another Thing Coming"- Judas Priest

8. "Signs"- Five Man Electrical Band

9. "Taliban Song"- Toby Keith

10. "Twilight Zone"- Golden Earring

DANG IT..."You've Got Another Thing Coming"....How did I miss that?...

[Lucky]

I don't know Laurie... how DID you miss that??

Further evidence of the shared brain syndrome. You said DANG IT!

As for my two cents, I was...uh...only joking back there (about us "youngsters", etc., etc.). I'm stuck in as much mud as anyone else, it's just different mud, that's all...

bf, I know you were joking. So'm I. It's all rock n roll to me. I just happen to love my mud!

A Happy Easter to my Oz friends Katie and Chris who are both online now ! Drive carefully if you're travelling. (It's early Easter Thursday afternoon here now, but traffic will have built up already).

And of course a Happy Easter to everyone else here.

[katie_sane]

Happy Easter to you too Darryl, Chris and everyone!

I'm staying home this year, got a family lunch tomorrow (fish and prawns of course!) and barbie on Sunday. In between that, I'll be having drinks with my friends, going to the club and enjoying Goulburn's most beautiful season, autumn.

[OLD 55]

Thanks Katie. Have a great time.

[edna]

Happy Easter!

...I still prefer the clasic way to nominate and vote. Youngers and old timers mixed.
