November 24, 2024Nov 24 Author Next batch is prepared now. Good news: it is a longer list of eligible #2s this year. Bad news: literally what are any of these songs? The only one I know (from the title) I am not a fan of so I'll just remain neutral, good luck everyone else picking something from here (maybe there are some good songs I'm just not familiar with x). England Dan & John Ford Coley - I'd Really Love To See You Tonight The Floaters - Float On Gary Wright - Dream Weaver Gary Wright - Love Is Alive Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald Lou Rawls - You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine Maxine Nightingale - Right Back Where We Started From Peter Frampton - I'm In You Rita Coolidge - (Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher And Higher Silver Convention - Get Up And Boogie The Spinners - The Rubberband Man Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle Looking at the list of deaths for the week I see the composer of 'Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien' died on Monday so I might give that a play (as averse as I am to Fr*nch songs, that is a classic x). Nothing else jumping out at me so open to any other suggestions.
November 24, 2024Nov 24 The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is a classic Otherwise a poor list indeed so that is my sole nomination
November 24, 2024Nov 24 The Gordon Lightfoot song sounds interesting so I'll give that a vote. The Maxine Nightingale and Steve Miller Band songs are just OK. Don't remember anything else, bar The Floaters but I'll pass on them.
November 24, 2024Nov 24 Silver Convention - Get Up And Boogie The Spinners - The Rubberband Man Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle I think you will all recognise The Rubberband Man when you hear it if it gets enough votes to be played.
November 24, 2024Nov 24 Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle The Gordon Lightfoot song was played in the RIP slot in May last year at my request. Several people who hadn't heard it before liked it.
