Lucky Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Hello my friends!! Due to a slight technical problem ( a stinkin' rat chewed our cable wire), I won't have access to a computer for a couple of days. } I've pt'd Martin, and I think he's going to provide links to my nominations. So here goes... Blue Velvet ~ Bobby Vinton (1962) The Ballad of Dwight Fry ~ Alice Cooper (1971) (excellent Alice audio) The Ballad of Dwight Fry (excellent Alice performance...in case you've forgotten!) Also, since Independence Day for us here in the US is Wednesday (the first day of voting, normally), we may have to do some re-arranging. I've pt'd that to Martin as well. We'll figure out if any scheduling changes need to be made! **Well the cable man showed up today, so here are my links... once again opposite ends of my spectrum! Edited July 4, 2007 by Guest the rat got fried.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 and a song I'm sure won't get as many votes: No Milk Today ~ Herman's Hermits It will get mine, for sure... Actually, I thought it made the Top. It´s one of the great classics... So this Top Darryl nominates 90s and Martin 60s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 It will get mine, for sure... Actually, I thought it made the Top. It´s one of the great classics... So this Top Darryl nominates 90s and Martin 60s? yep, that's the gist of it and No Milk Today was nominated twice before: in TT #8 it got 23 points (barely in the Top 30) in TT #20 it got 25 points (barely in the Top 25) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Everything About You - Ugly Kid Joe I love the all-out revenge theme The Freshmen - Verve Pipe What attracted me to this song was the riff... it didn't leave my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Living In The USA -- Steve Miller Band .. One of the best-known songs from before Miller's run of hit singles Right Next Door (Because Of Me ) -- Robert Cray .. A favorite 'suave' blues number from the Grammy-winning Strong Persuader album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I chose Rearview Mirror from the Pearl Jam songs my sons Brian (27) and Peter (24) put forward, because it was the only one which hadn't been nominated before. It's Brian's favorite and Peter likes it very much too. I should have had them join Songfacts, I nominate it, and I have 30 Points between them and Martin. Trouble is, I wouldn't vote for it. Sorry Martin ! I know you nominated Eddie Vedder in the 'Best Voices' Special, but every vocal by him sounds the same to me. I like the music though. I said 'it would make a good instrumental' to Peter yesterday and he just stared at me. Funny - I remember my Parents saying exactly the same about my favorite music when I was younger, "it all sounds the same", and "turn that noise down !". In another 30 years or so you might be saying the same about your kids' music. Frightening, isn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you like it! I saw Alice perfoming this song back in 71 when it was a new release. My first concert ever! You'll have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, I don't understand that sentence... the only... what exactly? (btw it's "Rearviewmirror" - one word ) Sorry Martin ! I know you nominated Eddie Vedder in the 'Best Voices' Special, but every vocal by him sounds the same to me. I like the music though. I said 'it would make a good instrumental' to Peter yesterday and he just stared at me. that's okay, I know you're not listening to them (or that music in general) much... I can perfectly understand your son's reaction after that statement though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 It wasn't a very well framed sentence, sorry ! I meant my sons suggested (put forward) their favorite Pearl Jam songs, and Rearviewmirror (one word - I got it now) was the only one of those that hadn't been nominated in our Top Tens before. I wanted to be original ! It's Brian's favorite, but Peter prefers 'Black'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head ! I can't believe it hasn't been nominated before ! Same with Kevin's Mull Of Kintyre. It was the biggest song of the 70s (whole decade) in the UK, and the biggest song of 1978 in Australia. The flip side Girls' School charted higher in the U.S. Maybe they didn't like the bagpipes. And Blue Velvet by the Polish Prince; should get Sammy's vote ! (Mine too). There's just so many songs nominated that I like this time ! It's going to be murder leaving some out.

OLD 55 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 It looks like they worked their way up from playing violins, Lars.

Goodnight All I didn't notice that it was slow... you could try putting a post in the "About Songfacts" thread, but I slowly get the impression that not too many people of importance read these posts... you probably would have better chances to PT Carl or contact either this Nik or Josh person by yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
