Steel2Velvet Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I love this version... There was another version of this song in '69, I think, by a somewhat obscure band called "The Road." It was the best version I have heard of the Zombies' big hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I'm just sick and tired of seeing the SAME songs week after week. There's thousands ----> tens of thousands of songs to choose from... I would like to see fresh, succulent nominations each week, not the same old stale nominations. A quick search of the archives (using the find function) is all that's neccesary. I do it every week. I couldn't agree more, Bluesboy! We seem to get more and more renominations every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Excuse me if I give this week's Top 10 a miss, since I won't be around later in the week to view the list of nominations or, indeed, to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I couldn't agree more, Bluesboy! We seem to get more and more renominations every week. I really don't want any rules either for nominations each week. If people like this idea for a special top ten down the road... that's fine. I don't use renominations in my future top tens. To me, once a song is used I go on to other ideas for songs. I don't like to vote for renominations either, unless I need to fill out my voting with ten selections.

OLD 55 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I don't agree about only giving a song one chance. There's many good songs have missed out first time around and susequently made it on renomination. When I do re-nominate a song I only do it once though. BTW: Our Top Ten was started as a venue for Pop songs and good Album tracks - not unknown or little known songs that only the nominator or a minority of people would know. I thought that was why we started the 'Videos For Prospective Nominations' Thread - to run them by others before nominating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I have never paid any mind whether or not a song was a re-nom. I just get a hankering, and check to see if it's made it yet, and then plug it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Thank both of you for your thoughts, Shawna and Ron. I've yet to discuss the idea with Lucky, whom I haven't seen around today, but neither Martin nor I are really in favor of excluding renominations from our Tens. However, Dappled has said he can produce a List, so I suppose there's no harm in giving it a try sometime, similar to the "NO #1s" we have occasionally.

Lucky Posted May 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Ok, Lucky's quick two cents: I think Bluesy was just stating his opinion, and throwing a suggestion for a one time deal out there. Not too big a deal, the same way others have. If it's not a popular one, so be it. I will say that what makes a song top ten material in my mind, has nothing to do with whether or not it was a hit song, or is well known, or was a top 40 tune, or an FM album track. It's what I think is the best offered that week. Now, can we play music?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Sigh ! I never thought I'd long for the days when we had countless Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, etc. nominations. At least they were real songs, FM or otherwise. What's the good of nominating a song and only the Nominator votes for it ? We certainly started the Ten as an 'alternative' to the Songfacts Top Tens which perennially featured the same songs, but surely we don't want to get 'too way out'? Now, as Lucky said, let's get on with the Music !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I vote what I want for, regardless of its success, fame, etc. And I just make sure it didn´t make the Ten Top before. I have rediscovered songs I had forgotten thanks to posters nominating obscure tracks. Now, I agree we first must post those obscure tracks on the "Thread for Next Nominations"...

OLD 55 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Thanks edna.

The Seeker Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I like renominations... the nominations get more obscure as it is, simply because we've had 64 top tens already and covered quite a few songs, so naturally nominations get more obscure as time progresses... and if there were no renominations, I think that'd be even worse.
