Bridge over Troubled Water

Riders on the Storm

Turn The Page

 

Stairway To Heaven    /   God Only Knows

How You Gonna See Me Now

Bohemian Rhapsody

[Jon]

Thank you Mike for the "God Only Knows" support! What's bugging me is how "Love To Love" is getting killed as well.

[RJhog (Admin)]

So, just to be sure, are you declining to vote on this one?  Either way is okay, I just don't wanna put the wrong vote down for you

[Michael J. Andrade]

Yes I decline on this one Beach Boys & led Zep -  or give them a point each ....   Yea ! That made sense ... LOL ....

Crazy Love

She's Gone

Rider's on the Storm

Turn the Page

Stairway to Heaven

[Mike Pell]

Alright, here are my choices, some very tough ones:

1. Hey Jude (The Beatles)

2. Crazy Love (Poco)

3. Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon & Garfunkel)

Mike

[Mike Mills]

I don't understand all the votes for "Turn the Page". I like Seger, but I do not consider this a great song, much less a great ballad. I think Metallica's remake is far superior to the original & yes, I am old School. I know saying this song stinks, is like saying Dylan can't sing. Both are true, but nobody wants to admit it. Stop pretending guys!

 

[Dannolonghair]

Hey Dylan could sing just fine if he would take all those damned marbles out of his mouth. haha!

 

My pet name for Dylan is MarbleMouth.

[Mike Pell]

Dan, those marble in Dylan's mouth turned out to be pieces of gold.

Actually that was a large part of Dylan's appeal in the beginning- if HE could sing and make records ANYBODY could!
He played the harmonica even worse, lol!

Mike

[Dannolonghair]

Dylan had appeal? Now thats funny.

[Mike Pell]

Hey Yogi, of course he had appeal.

He's been making records since 1962 and sill going.

You got anybody you like who's got that longevity going?

[Dannolonghair]

I know, I know Mike. There are tons out there that love the guy...I'm just not one of them.

I'll try not to be too judgmental towards you for liking/defending Dylan. Good to know I have someone new to pick on though other then RJ. haha! (seriously, just joking, don't take anything to heart).
