I received SSOL cd last week and wanted to get anyones opinion on their favorite songs (all of them) on this album in descending order. I would like to do that with other albums too. Before I give mine, I want to listen to it one more time. Anyone game?

geez, Marc ... ok ... let's give it a whirl.
Same ol' Loverman
Talking in Your Sleep
Cotton Jenny
Migue/SSOL
Go My way
Cabaret
10 degrees ..
LAMS
Redwood Hill
Nous Vivon Ensemble

THis is at the moment ... apart from Same ol' Loverman, I am sure this list will change.

Who's next?

<< as I was shaking my head while reading Bru's picks.>>

hmmmm ... but what a great list of picks! ;)

SilverHeels 03-02-2006 10:00 AM

you are most definitely right! :)

charlene 03-02-2006 10:13 AM

1. Same Old Loverman (are you paying attention Billyboy????)

everything else can come in any order but I'd rather not hear Love and Maple Syrup...

SilverHeels 03-02-2006 11:10 AM

but I'd rather not hear Love and Maple Syrup... >>

I'm not too keen on that either.

joveski 03-02-2006 03:07 PM

looks like many people dont like it!

marc in maine 03-03-2006 01:00 AM

I don't believe the songs on the bottom of these lists are disliked but they're a reflection of a consensus of order. A pecking order. We still love those chickens but we feed off the other ones more...should I change my name to "chicken"?.

Clarification: They are not necessarily disliked and some still love them. Some of the bottom dwellers on my lists are liked by me. That would mean no clunkers for me. I think you must have an album or two without clunkers, don't you?

I haven't liked that song since Roseanne joined that strange Yahoo group. That lady... you just couldn't keep her out of trouble. :eek:

Sheryl 03-03-2006 11:33 AM

Marc, do a search and you'll find we did do a topic (within the last 6 months I think) about having an album without clunkers. We didn't use that word, though. LOL

charlene 03-03-2006 11:38 AM

LOL!! Cathy!
I almost wet myself...
