The Songfactor's Choice Top Ten #62

[TheLizard]

Yay, somebody already knows my song!

[OLD 55]

Lucky, I was trying to 'promote' the song because I like it.

From his post, it sounds like he may not be able to vote though.

BTW: For anyone who didn't notice (or couldn't give a rat's patootie), my signature contains a subliminal message when read backwards, which says VOTEFORDARRYLSNOMINATIONS. Great joke, huh !

[Lucky]

Oh. Nevermind.

CanAm will not be able to vote, but sent me submissions for this week, and next. Meaning, we'll have to vote his songs highly for him Darryl! That won't be a problem for me, I like them!

For once I found them difficult to rank

I don't like this top ten. There are three songs I like--I don't care for the rest.

wow, I really had to think hard on what song I COULDN'T include in the Ten...

that hasn't happen often in the last few months

wow I guess it IS impossible to get Tens that everyone likes...

[Levis]

It's a lost cause, wot?

[The Seeker]

This is the worst top ten for me so far...

Lost cause indeed. Funny how diverse everyone's musical taste is.

[miamisammy29]

1. Gonna Raise Hell - Cheap Trick (nine minutes of blistering guitar with attitude)

2. Jealous Again - Black Crowes (the Crowes second best, after "Remedy", of course)

3. Werewolves Of London - Warren Zevon (classic Warren Z. blood and gore fest)

4. Redneck Friend - Jackson Browne (my favorite Jackson Browne tune...one of his few that I really enjoy)

5. You're All I've Got Tonight - The Cars (true classic off the debut album)

6. Man On The Moon - REM (not their best, by far, but a nice tribute to a great comedian)

7. Hey Jealousy (Nice debut single by the boys from Tempe)

8. The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylum) - Fun Boy Three (very laughable tune by a very laughable band)

9. Duke Of Earl - Gene Chandler (cool doo-op tune...Al Bundy's version is top notch, TOP NOTCH!)

10. Bad Boy - Miami Sound Machine (because S2V dedicated it to me, and there were kinda slim pickings in this top ten)

This is the first time I have been able to watch all of the videos and/or listen to the songs with the nominations. I loved "Bom Bom Bom", but I just couldn't fit it into my ten. I am absolutely over the moon about "Sweat". It's bluesy, it's sexy, it's downright filthy. How have I not ever heard it before? Thanks, my darling bluesy, for the nomination.
