Azkal - nearly my choice this one, but I plumped for the Jam
...and was thinking of Statesboro' Blues by Taj Mahal for my 60's choice Gessa

Another great Taj mahal song Cat
Re: Mega Favourite Song Poll Grand Final Result
Hey Cat, been on my list of potential 70's tracks to put forward for a while, made the cut this time. I really struggle with songs from the 80's, not many tracks from that era that really float my boat.

Re: Mega Favourite Song Decade Round 6 - NOMINATE NOW !
Considered it, also Truganini and Dreamworld but thought I'd go with something some might know, see if I can get at least 1 into the last 8.
There was also 4 Blue Aeroplanes considered and that was just off one album.

Re: Mega Favourite Song Poll Grand Final Result
Azkal - my problem with the 70's (and to a lesser extent the 60's) is just choosing one - when there are just loads and loads of great songs.Azkalwhite wrote: ↑Sun Jun 03, 2018 1:53 pm Hey Cat, been on my list of potential 70's tracks to put forward for a while, made the cut this time.

I agree the 80's is more difficult, things picked up in the 90's, but it's the 00's I struggle most with - which is why the 'new' suggestions on the music threads are really good.

as the Hold Steady (The greatest rock band on the planet) say "I survived the 80's one time already, and I don't recall them all too fondly"

Re: Mega Favourite Song Poll Grand Final Result
Totally with you there for sure, I have a stack full of songs for the 70's Just listening to a couple of tracks now from the thread which I am not acquainted with. Usually one or two gems, particularly with Faaip and Gessa's submissions, although Hector's songs are very popular........with my GrandmaMuppet the Cat wrote: ↑Sun Jun 03, 2018 2:10 pm Azkal - my problem with the 70's (and to a lesser extent the 60's) is just choosing one - when there are just loads and loads of great songs.

Cracking series Norfolk Peter Kay is a very clever funny man, one of very few modern day comics that make me laugh these days
