1. Highwire ~ Rolling Stones (I remember the very first time I heard this song, the only words I could understand were the chorus, and I actually cried. What a dork. :crazy: ) - and no, I'm not nominating it because it's the Stones. I'm nominating it in spite of that fact.

"We walk the highwire

sending men to the front lines

hoping they don't catch the hellfire

with hot guns and cold, cold nights"

2. Civil War ~ Guns & Roses (warning: viewing video may be harmful on the eyes. Especially with Axl in those short shorts.) There are only two Guns & Roses songs I like, and this is one of them.

I'll be very surprised if either of these make it, but I'll nominate them anyways.

YYZ- Rush

This is the live version with the amazing drum solo- wasn't really sure how to make this into a link or if this already is...I'm terrible with computers. Sorry for the inconvenience. If someone tells me how to make this a link, I will do so.

National Anthem- Radiohead

Foolonthehill, you can also copy the link, click on "reply", then click on the third case (URL link) from left to right just upon the box where you write your reply. You get a box with "Enter your link". Paste the link in the case. Click OK. You get another box with "text for link". Write the name of the artist and the song. Click OK. you get this:

"Every Night" - Paul McCartney (for instance...)

  • Tobacco Road -- The Nashville Teens .. the video includes much screaming and clapping.

    And now for something completely different:

  • Compared To What -- Les McCann & Eddie Harris .. I heard this for the first time in years, yesterday.
    Sorry OLD 55, I'm sure this number got no AM airplay, but it was a great hit among my friends and acquaintances back when. I wonder if other folks are familiar with it ?
    The video is in two parts:
    Part 1
    Part 2
    The video must be contemporaneous with this album recorded live at the Montreux (Switzerland) Jazz Festival in 1969.

Well baz, you have my vote on Tobacco Road, but, no, I haven't heard the other song before. I'll give it a few listens tomorrow.

And I really like Joe's idea. As I have a 1965 nomination this time, I'll put a 1960 song for Top Ten #65. How's that for logic ? Haven't got time to change things now. Our grandchildren are with us for a couple of nights, and Alyssa (our Grandaughter) sleeps in my office. I'm getting shooed off the computer now.

Goodnight All. :headphones:

There's a very good chance that both songs will get my vote. :rockon:

Windmills of Your Mind

From the soundtrack to the movie The Thomas Crown Affair

Words and music by Alan Bergman and Michel Jean Legrand

Round, like a circle in a spiral

Like a wheel within a wheel.

Never ending or beginning,

On an ever spinning wheel

Like a snowball down a mountain

Or a carnaval balloon

Like a carousell that's turning

Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping

Past the minutes on it's face

And the world is like an apple

Whirling silently in space

Like the circles that you find

In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow

To a tunnel of it's own

Down a hollow to a cavern

Where the sun has never shone

Like a door that keeps revolving

In a half forgotten dream

Or the ripples from a pebble

Someone tosses in a stream.

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping

Past the minutes on it's face

And the world is like an apple

Whirling silently in space

Like the circles that you find

In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket

Words that jangle your head

Why did summer go so quickly

Was it something that I said

Lovers walking allong the shore,

Leave their footprints in the sand

Was the sound of distant drumming

Just the fingers of your hand

Pictures hanging in a hallway

And a fragment of this song

Half remembered names and faces

But to whom do they belong

When you knew that it was over

Were you suddenly aware

That the autumn leaves were turning

To the color of her hair

Like a circle in a spiral

Like a wheel within a wheel

Never ending or beginning,

On an ever spinning wheel

As the images unwind

Like the circle that you find

In the windmills of your mind

Pictures hanging in a hallway

And the fragment of this song

Half remembered names and faces

But to whom do they belong

When you knew that it was over

Were you suddenly aware

That the autumn leaves were turning

To the color of her hair

Like a circle in a spiral

Like a wheel within a wheel

Never ending or beginning,

On an ever spinning wheel

As the images unwind

Like the circles that you find

In the windmills of your mind
