Sorry about the interruption, you may resume voting now.

[CanAm]

My revised nominations are as follows:

1. Help Me - Joni Mitchell

2. Penny Lane - The Beatles

3. Which Way You Going Billy - The Poppy Family

4. Love The One You're With - Steven Stills

5. Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) - Looking Glass

6. Flirtin' With Disaster - Molly Hatchett

7. Legs - ZZ Top

8. Rock On - David Essex

9. Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon - Neil Diamond

10. I Want You To Want Me - Cheap Trick

[TheLizard]

1. "Peace Frog"- The Doors (The lack of support for this song is just sad)

2. "Jailbreak"- AC/DC

3. "Ice Cream Man"- Van Halen

4. "Under My Wheels"- Alice Cooper

5. "Legs"- ZZ Top

6. "Read My Mind"- The Killers

7. "Bonzo Goes To Bitburg"- Ramones

8. "Flirtin' With Disaster"- Molly Hatchet

9. "Love the One You're With"- Stephen Stills

10. "Land of Confusion"- Genesis

[Lucky]

'Sides, we all know none of you would vote for my songs anyway.

Now there you are wrong, kiddo. I was voting for The Doobies!

But, there is absolutely nothing wrong with concentrating on your school obligations, in fact I applaud you. You come back whenever you do feel that your schedule allows it. I guarantee, we'll be here!

CanAm and Steel both revised their votes, leaving only Sammy and edna. They've both been sent pt's, and since they are fairly reliable about being here, there should be no problems!

[OLD 55]

I'd hate to think that some people aren't voting for 'Penny Lane' because of what I said. CanAm very kindly offered to withdraw the song, but voting had already commenced.

We've tried to address this nominating/not nominating 'Biggies' for a long time. I nominated a Queen song a few Top Tens ago and upset someone + there's been various others that I've withdrawn because I don't want to appear too 'competitive'.

Anyway, let's make #80 'Biggies whoever wants to'. Give me that anyday rather than obscure songs that most of the population have never heard of.

I don't want any fuss, but thanks for the good wishes from so many people, both here and in PTs. I'll at least be taking a long break after #80.

I'll PT my votes for 'The Ultimate Top Tens' to Chris and probably vote in the Final of that. It's worthy of your support. I'm really disappointed that the last Round received so little !

Oh, and I'm really sorry to see young Ry leave. Hope he comes back after his studies. He's a good Kid. I thought what Lucky said was very wise. And I would certainly have voted for 'Listen To The Music' too.

[OLD 55]

1. Penny Lane - The Beatles

2. Runaround Sue - Dion

3. Love The One You're With - Stephen Stills

4. Everyday - Buddy Holly

5. Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon - Neil Diamond

6. Sea Cruise - Frankie Ford

7. September - Earth, Wind & Fire

8. Rock On - David Essex

9. Good Rocking Tonight - Wynonie Harris

10.Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) - Looking Glass

[TheLizard]

I'd hate to think that some people aren't voting for 'Penny Lane' because of what I said. CanAm very kindly offered to withdraw the song, but voting had already commenced.

You're giving yourself way too much credit, mate. I didn't vote for Penny Lane because I don't really like that song.

[OLD 55]

Thanks Tim.

[Lucky]

And I voted for it, when I often leave the Beatles out!

I think we've all overcome that voting/not voting thing. As long as everyone nominates and votes honestly for the songs they like the best, then the Top Ten will be an honest representation of SF's likes and dislikes. That is the point, yes?

[TheLizard]

I think you should stick around a little longer, see if this little game of yours will really catch on.

I guess I'll just have to replace myself with someone emotionally stronger than I , who's only interested in the good of the Top Ten, and who's not afraid to make any necessary calls and stick by them ! This isn't a 'poor me' Post. Many of you know I've been thinking of leaving for a long time.

Everything was going along fine until you decided you couldn't get along with Martin and got rid of him.

Why don't you bring Martin back (if he'll accept ) and have Lucky, Seeker and Martin run things while you're gone.
