My favorite k.d. lang song is "The Mind of Love", but I don't know if anybody else knows it?
Girlfriend - Matthew Sweet Layla - Derek and the Dominoes - it's not one of mine but it belongs on the list dammit. Hello It's Me - Todd Rundgren Melissa - Allman Bros |
Crying - Roy Orbison. I know "Oh Pretty Woman" is his most famous hit, but if you ever saw him close a show with "Crying", you vote this one. It stops your heart.

More seconds. My seconds are:
Moon River - Henry Mancini Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum Kashmir - Led Zeppelin Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers And You And I - Yes I Wanna Be Sedated - The Ramones Shine on you crazy diamond - Pink Floyd Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve all Neil Diamond All the Young Dudes - Mott the Hoople We have 215 songs and 53 with seconds |
ut, On my old Saturday Night Live Music a Go-Go VHS tape, Orbison doing Crying was one of the handful they showed the whole clip. It is hauntingly beautiful. Wow. He was amazing.
|
I remember that SNL. It was so awesome.
|
So, I'm reminded too of:
Pick a Stevie Wonder. Pick one. I dare ya. Alive--Pearl Jam (If either mentioned before then I'm seconding.) These were both inspired by their live performances on aforementioned SNL tape. Wonder did Overjoyed, but there are so many I couldn't pin it down. Sir Duke? |
I'd like to second 25 or 6 to 4.

|
Puh...how could I forget Natalie?...yeah, and...I forgot Norah Jones, but mostly I forgot:
Pussy Control--Prince. :D |
Field of 256?
|
It could have been worse. I showed remarkable restraint.
|
I know it's closed, but if it weren't I'd add
I Can't Get Started and I Can't Get Next to You |
what the fuck is taking so long at this point?
|
I have a last bit of coding to do and it's driving me batty. Any minute now...
|
I thought maybe you were waiting on that asshole Flint to give us a Steely Dan song. ;)
And just because it's been bothering me. I hate Freebird. Really. It goes on and on and on and on and it's raucous and repetitive. I feel the same about Layla...after the actual singing is over. Sorry. :bolt: |
The field is set.
You can see the full name of the song, and the seeding, if you mouse over the shortened song name. In future I will make this thing longer so that longer names can fit in there. Let me know, y'all, if there are any display errors from your browser. |
Little Wing twice?
|
When's the first vote?
|
Some match-up consfusion?
Whole Lotta Love Aqualung Personal Jesus Sweet Dreams Crazy Diamond |
We'll start once we know things look good and these little errors are fixed.
It should have been Into the Mystic, not a second Little Wing. Does it look better now P&M? |
Yeah, Flint sucks.
No Steely Dan, at all. Only the best band evah. |
Into the Mystic and Crazy Diamond still need a match-up.
|
Now?
|
Looks good, but Aqualung is the only on that doesn't highlight.
|
Fuck it.
|
Doesn't highlight, what does that mean? Is it fatal? Should we just begin?
|
LOL. Yeah.
|
Best of 5 votes wins, to start. Seed number is in parenthesis. Seeding for this one was pretty arbitrary, based on randomness and seconding...
Who should advance... Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding - Elton John or Whipping Post - Allman Bros. Vote right here in the thread. |
Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding - Elton John
|
Whipping Post - Allman Bros.
although I personally love EJ |
ah crap I'm having second thoughts.
sorry Elton but you just don't translate over a cult following |
