Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood - summer wine

I missed that vote but I would have voted for Summer Wine ahead of Sunny Afternoon or the Monkees one. I actually thought of Some Velvet Morning after I submitted my list, so many good songs out there that nobody submitted.

If it makes you feel any better, two of my nods got ko'ed 6-0 in the first round when I wasn't around to vote. (The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat and Nico - These Days)

At not so fun fact-

Cass Elliott (Mana Cass) from The Mamas & The Papas died aged 32 in a flat in Mayfair, London.

Four years later Keith Moon from The Who died in the exact same room in the same flat. He was also 32.

What are the chances?

My other fun fact is that Jefferson Airplane evolved from the late 60s to the mid 80s into this...

Yeah, there's no excuse for that really, is there?

Bad moon rising because werewolf song
Sympathy for the devil because I once got laid for knowing who the troubadours were
I can't get no satisfaction because Sam fox
Hey Joe because Jimi song ( watchtowers isn't)

#5 CCR, I like Watchtower but I just enjoy listening to this one more.

#6 Rolling Stones, WOOH WOOH!!

#7 Jackie Wilson, a very nice track that I was only vaguely familiar with before the contest but really enjoy. Satisfaction is good, don't get me wrong, but I think Paint It Black and Sympathy for the Devil are stronger.

#8 Marvin Gaye - a proper classic.

I never knew that and would never make the connection.

I'm going to put up the quaterfinals shortly. There won't be a quota, and there will be a cut off time tomorrow.

Before this contest, I always thought it was "Pale Moon Rising". Either way, not better than All Along the Watchtower, but what can one do..

California Dreaming. Paint It Black is probably the better song and will likely win but sticking with my nomination here, I just enjoy it more.

Jefferson Airplane - no contest. Fun song, and Elvis must be stopped.

Bad Moon Rising - another of my noms here, up against a beast of a song. Will likely lose but surely we don't need three Stones songs in the semis... right :P

Satisfaction - my nomination. I nearly nominated Marvin Gaye also so I don't mind who goes through here but I'm voting for my own pick.
