SECOND

[mae]

And we just hit 100 seconded tracks! Take a moment to look over what's been nominated, if anything is missing that should be nominated. Only 12 more to go here.

[divemaster]

I know I've got quite a few nominations not seconded. Please at least consider these two to move forward! (If not any of the others)

I want to second Call Me the Breeze but I have two other Skynyrds I like more, Tuesday's Gone and Simple Man. Have to get those nominated!

[Tommy]

Surprised your song, wild horses and it's too late haven't been seconded. I've got about 6 or 7 left on my list right now.

[divemaster]

Being from the south, I was raised on Synyrd. I could nominate about 8 more tracks but I know they probably wouldn't get far in the tournament. My sister worked in the hospital that the survivors from the plane crash were taken to. She saw them that night but of course no one wanted to disturb them after such a tragedy. I still wonder what their career would have been. I'm just glad they gave us the great songs they did.

2nd

[T-Dogz_AK47]

There are very few slots left available for this time period. Please consider seconding the following songs before it's too late.... :panic:


This is one of the most commonly covered Lennon songs, with at least 92 recorded cover versions currently available. Often imitated but never equalled, John Lennon's original version is a true masterpiece...




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIbUJdkZBW4


This is a truly awesome song....



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wxI4KK9ZYo


This song demonstrates why Harry Nilsson is widely regarded as being one of the greatest songwriters of all time....

Already seconded a little earlier.

[mae]

There are very few slots left available for this time period. Please consider seconding the following songs before it's too late.... :panic:


Tons of great stuff still unseconded. We have two great Leonard Cohen songs, three classic Pink Floyd songs, and awesome tune by Rufus and Chaka Khan, an early Genesis classic. Just loads of stuff. Plus even more stuff can be nominated as well!

[mae]

I promised Pablo I would nominate something from The Statler Brothers, one of my favorite groups ever. I've got their mega CD box set and had a hard time choosing what other song I could nominate.

I chose the following b/c not only does it spotlight their amazing harmonies, but the song itself is a nostalgia piece, and as a lover of oldies it really speaks to me. Whether this gets seconded or not, I at least hope you will give a listen.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSM7ErKNMDw

Awesome song. Seconded.

[Tommy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJV2pWFyfn4

[mae]

That's another great pick!

[divemaster]

OMG! I almost let this close out without considering my most favorite Led Zeppelin song. Hope someone else likes this one also...

:panic: :panic: :panic: :panic:

I'm not going to nominate any further tracks for this thread, as I have the following three songs left in limbo that require seconding as a matter of absolute urgency!

These are all absolute classics and I would like to ask everyone to please listen carefully to each one so that they can be considered for seconding?

I would also like to thank everyone for contributing to the nomination process in all these threads so far, and for making this tournament a thoroughly enjoyable experience!!! :smile:

[Mattrick]

Not one single Guess Who song. Not one! Did everyone forget about one of the greatest bands of all time or something?

From Their best album full of deserving nominations, Album #10, released in 1973:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibn-Ak_nfQU

[jonp]

"You see it? Right there! That fucking helicopter's been following me the whole day...."


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVsgDbwqrFs

Seconded

[mae]

And we are done here as well! Two down, twelve to go.

For my part, I'm surprised Leonard Cohen didn't manage to get in with the late '60s and now the early '70s. But I'm loving the variety of nominations, and it should be a hell of a time voting on these amazing songs!

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Yeah, based on what was nominated, I think we got a great mix. No complaints. I do wish



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXJQOWsp6f4

would have gone through, but I nominated it very late in the game.

A couple of other songs, not nominated, that would have been good for consideration:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQHUAJTZqF0


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDbAtWpoA6k

[divemaster]

Another great song from this era I just thought of...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXE_n2q08Yw

Awesome soul/funk with poignant lyrics too...

...people will steal from their mother; people will rob their own brother...a woman will sell her precious body for a small piece of paper...for that mean oh mean mean green...

[Tommy]

Well damn. I missed it! :(

I voted through 'Help Me' (pablo's pick) which I love, but Big Yellow Taxi is a more important song.

A pretty amazing and funky track from South Africa:

It looks like one Doobie Brothers song made it through. I'm not a huge Doobie Brothers fan, but this is my favorite from them:

Without love, where would you be now?
