OLD 55 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Well, we're really pleased you joined us Ken. I know I speak for everyone when I say I hope you'll become a Top Ten Regular. It's great to share all of our different tastes in Music here. It's nice to get one in the Top Ten occasionally too, but participation is the real enjoyment of this thread.

OLD 55 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) I'm not sure what's going on ! I made a Post and sent PTs to Lucky and Joe, but nothing's happened. I'm not banned, or dead, like in 'Sixth Sense' am I NO - here we go. For some reason my browser didn't have a page 3 I didn't want to waste a good sandwich and cup of coffee on a dead man. Catch you after Lunch and watching last night's '24' episode which we taped. Edited May 4, 2007 by Guest PAGE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Yes darryl you are really here! Ken, RonJon's right, it's easy to become hooked. We're glad you've joined the rest of us Top Ten junkies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Thanks Lucky and Joe. Yes, we hope Ken comes back next week for a 'fix'. I've seen Rayzor and Peaches both around, and have suggested in PTs to them that in the rules of the Top Ten, being Regulars, they're both entitled to vote if they wish to. And, if my calculations are correct, #1 and #2 is still 'open', #3 is virtually assured, but #4 to #14 are still 'wide open'. Farin will confirm all later.

Dappled Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 12 renominations this time. The Faces' Stay With Me is liked by many this being it's 4th nomination. Hope it will make it this time. Not much chance, though, as we have so many bloody aces this time! As usual the numbers are the song's highest placement. 1. Stay With Me - Faces feat. Rod Stewart - 12 - Nom 3 times before 2. Ain't Even Done With The Night - John Mellencamp - 13 3. Like A Hurricane - Neil Young - 16 4. Only Women (Bleed) - Alice Cooper - 16 5. The Pretender - Jackson Browne - 16 - Nom twice before 6. Down on The Corner - Creedence Clearwater Revival - 17 7. You're No Good - Linda Ronstadt - 18 - Nom twice before 8. Come A Little Bit Closer - Jay & the Americans - 31 9. All Or Nothing - Small Faces - 33 - Nom twice before 10. Mockingbird - Carly Simon And James Taylor - 38 11. Rock This Town - Stray Cats - 51 12. Sail On - Commodores - 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Nice Top Ten for me!!! Very classic: Stones, Beatles, Led Zepp, CCR, Neil Young... and even some Talking Heads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Woh ! It was a lot closer than I thought. Apparently someone voted for Jumpin'Jack Flash in 7th place, (4 Points)in his Ten, but changed his vote later ! Just so long as you let Farin know for our Records (which he did). Maybe our Statistician, Dappled, could tell us if 92 Points for You Can't Always Get What You Want is the highest ever for a song which didn't reach #1 ? Lucky was very Unlucky. And someone has to mention this, because it's never happened before (I don't think) and probably never will again: Both of Farin's nominations made the Top Ten Goodnight All. Way past my bedtime.

I would almost be offended, but in reality it's your fault (not YOURS, but you all), you could all just vote for my nominations... simple as that, I mean - I do it too, so it isn't THAT hard...

Dappled Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Something had 98 points and Hotel California 95. Both were #2 beaten by Bohemian Rhapsody and You Really Got Me (nominated by me!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hey great!!! Both Martin's noms made it... and what's greater is that I Lov them! Excessively great going, ji!! Ironic a little bit that this would happen the week he breaks his nominations from the 1990s rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't have done it (well I didn't do much anyway ) without you, ji Ironic a little bit that this would happen the week he breaks his nominations from the 1990s rule I think that's what Darryl meant with "it propably will never happen again" *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Jumpin Jack Flash is the name of my dog. Leon Russell may be one of the most underrated singer/songwriters of all time because he can't sing very well. His version of this, his own song, did squat; while the voice of Jagger carried it to number one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Jumpin Jack Flash is the name of my dog. Cool. My brother used to have a dog named Jagger. He died several years back (the dog, not my brother). Leon Russell may be one of the most underrated singer/songwriters of all time because he can't sing very well. His version of this, his own song, did squat; while the voice of Jagger carried it to number one. What are you trying to say? That Leon Russell wrote "Jumpin' Jack Flash"? Not true. It was a semi-autobiographical tune written by Jagger (with Richards, of course). They called their slow-footed gardener Jumpin' Jack Flash (Richards' gardener, I think). Leon Russell did do a live version in 1971 at the Concert for Bangladesh. And Frampton does an excellent version on "Frampton Comes Alive". But nobody's version beats the Stones. It's also, in my opinion, the greatest live song ever performed, and I think EVERY artist should perform it at their concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
