Dappled Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 The Green Berets was a hit here in Sweden, but I didn't like it much, not the Swedish version either, which is about a Swedish UN-soldier in a blue beret (listen to it here) I loved the Battle of New Orleans, though I pity the poor alligator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Lots of great hits in 1976 from which to choose. I was very surprised to see that my two nominees had never made a previous top ten. Unbelievable! I think these are two winners. Classics IMO. 1. Right Back Where We Started From-Maxine Nightingale (1976) (best sounding)I feel like I'm on that bus in Slap Shot. What a great scene with the perfect song. or... Maxine Live Turn up your speakers. 2. Lowdown-Boz Scaggs (1976) (best sounding). From one of the greatest albums ever..Silk Degrees. or... Boz Live In Japan Now you're groovin' in your chair. Diggin' it. Gittin' down wit it. Vote for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Laurie_ Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 It sure is! No Time ~ The Guess Who Angry Eyes ~ Loggins & Messina (The great nomination. ) "No Time" has been on my "lista" for quite awhile...I think I might of nominated it at one time also....depending on the other noms...I just might put this one as my #1.... "Angry Eyes"...also on my "lista"...I think it's a pretty heavy tune for L and M...I like it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 A lot of good noms this week, but I hope you will all find room in your Top Ten for these: Brilliant Disguise - Bruce Springsteen (1987) Simple video, with Bruce singing live over a recorded track. I'm going to post these powerful lyrics on the Random lyrics thread for all interested. What I Got - Sublime (1997) Rap, ska and rock all rolled into one song. Cool.

Steel2Velvet Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Why Can't We Live Together - Timmy Thomas The message is as relevant today as when this came out in 1972.
