IPOD Decades Songs Draft - Rankings underway

[John Galt]

I will finish my 70's set with one of the greatest songs of all time and far and away the best 70's live track... It's crazy when the live cuts are better than the studio cuts.

I Want You to Want Me (live at Budokan) by Cheap Trick (1979)

Most excellent sir!

 

[D-Mass]

TIME AFTER TIME - Cyndi Lauper (1984)

[yt=Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper]AMU_8lmBmzM[/yt]

Well, this is a little confusing. The link you posted leads to a title page that says a page for this entry has not been created. I've never heard of the song, but will list it pending verification of release date...

The song is Eternal Flame by the Bangles.

Here is the proper wiki page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Flame_(song)

Great selection, by the way!

 

[VF21]

Okay, I'm not sure what's happening with my browser or whatever, but when I follow that link - which is the same as the one he posted - I get a wiki page that says:

Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. Please search for Eternal Flame (song in Wikipedia to check for alternative titles or spellings.

There is no actual information about the song, the group, etc.

 

[Larry89]

two very good and classic songs still haven't been taken yet and im in awe

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Okay, I'm not sure what's happening with my browser or whatever, but when I follow that link - which is the same as the one he posted - I get a wiki page that says:



There is no actual information about the song, the group, etc.

For some reason the closing parentheses doesn't work on the link, if you add it the page is there. It is a definitely an 80s song.

I don't believe it. If I had to put my money on one guy I figured NOT to take a song from my list, it would have been you with your expansive musical tastes. Why you gotta take one of my "one track mind" classic rock staples? why, why I say???

Bizarre - if you do a search for "Bagles +wiki" and then click on the song in the article text under "Bangles join forces again", it takes you to the page. But then the hyperlink itself doesn't seem to work correctly.

 

[John Galt]

If you go into edit mode and shove that ")" character into the url code it works (and you can remove the parenthesis from the end at the same time)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Flame_(song)

It's something about this board - when I cut/pasted the url into an email page it worked fine

 

[VF21]

Aha! Thank you! And to the rest of you who helped me. I'm trying to do this while battling the flu and it had me totally and completely flummoxed.

sorry about the link, i just copied and pasted so not sure how it left off the end parenthesis. my bad!

 

[Jespher]

That happens all the time to me. That's why I have to edit so many of my draft posts.

Okay, all I've got are 70's songs left. Time to start turning it up a little.

LoungeLizard has timed out, and so it's back to me. Can't have the 90's without some Nirvana...

[yt=Come, As You Are, As You Were]YqN0ZOEO9oI[/yt]

Come As You Are - Nirvana - 90's

[John Galt]

Fame - David Bowie - 1975

co written by John Lennon

Just outstanding. It was on my list. I was telling my wife on the drive home work that Fame was the first 45 record I ever bought, and maybe I ought to pick it on the kingsfans draft. good one.

 

[John Galt]

Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen - 70's

I have rifled through my list and rejected a couple sappy songs for this round. Not in the mood for that right now. I needed to find Freddie Mercury for a proper masculine classic rock number - go figure.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Bottomed_Girls

[yt=Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me]-D99n9f3vU4[/yt]

 

[VF21]

According to wikipedia, this song was the 10th single released off my favorite Shania Twain album. I like all of them but this one is upbeat and fun...

Rock This Country! - Shania Twain - 90s
