60s

Ennio Morricone 'The Ecstasy Of Gold'

[Azkal]

60s

Ennio Morricone 'The Ecstasy Of Gold'

You have outdone yourself Muppet

[Sara]

LOL, I think with lyrics, "my name is s**t", you may struggle if I am honest. You would certainly get my vote for 'Make Worry For Me'.

Well, at least you listened to it! I've consciously tried to pick more 'commercial' tracks this time, so it was a bit of an outlier. Hopefully 'Make Worry' will fare better.

My favourite Tom Petty track, although I have to say that it bombed when I nominated it eons ago, Will get my vote though.

Have to agree that if you want to get votes, you need to "dumb down" on nominations. With the lack of prog fans on here, I have had to forget about most of the stuff that I really like.

I'm the same with certain genres especially soul music.

Didn't realise it had been nominated before... and there was me thinking it was a sure fire winner! It's my favourite track by him too, never tire of it.

I'm an album fan (and a prog fan) rather than a singles fan, so I'm finding it difficult to come up with sub four minute tracks which will grab people's attention. With so many songs to listen to, I suspect that anything longer doesn't get a full hearing. I wonder how many made it twelve minutes into the Fela Kuti track I chose for the singing to start, for example.
