Then Jeff went on to become a major producer, working with Petty and Harrison amongst others, and became a Wilbury as well.

Any time I see Jeff and the Wilburys mentioned, I think of this tweet.

Mr R looked at that and said, "That looks like the lead singer for ELO."

No kidding. Let the mocking commence.

I have to admit, I am struggling hard to figure out how these things are supposed to be submitted.

So ... each entry in the Google Form. Are they supposed to look like this:

#1 -
Joe Blow Blues
htt ps://open.spotify.com/track/joeblowblues


or are they supposed to look like this:

#1 -
Joe Blow Blues


???


EDIT: All right, I took a chance. I did them all like the top option above. Hope it flies

Top is correct

Assuming you filled out the form with your FBG handle etc, type the song title in the space provided. Hit ENTER. Paste your YouTube or Spotify link right there.

Go to the next entry.

Alive in Seattle could be three selections, because it has a fantastic rendition of one of my top Heart songs. I went with the studio version, but the live one kicks arsze, too.

#1 just post the link to the song and hit return.

Not quite -- had to post both both title and link. And in a certain form (Title on one line, Link on the line under).

The directions said: When you enter song title, you don't have to type out title of song. Just put in the Spotify or YT link and the MB puts the title in automatically.

* I didn't bold that. It was like that on what I copied.

Are we starting tonight? I readied a pour before I opened the thread expecting to jump right in and...

 

[Mister CIA]

I will entertain y'all while @Zegras11 works hard to turn on a computer.

Take it away, 3 Balls of Fire.

 

[Scoresman]

Switched my band at the last minute to Hanson. Sorry if that’s causing the delay.

 

[timschochet]

I have one list with no song links on it. Hi Timmy! I will be adding live versions of those songs. That will take like 30 minutes.

Just saw this post, my apologies. I meant to add them and then got too busy.

Then in a subsequent post:

It's VERY important that you :
1) Type the Song Title First.
2) Most important thing - Then press RETURN BUTTON so so link is on the next line.
3) enter song link.



This also threw me off, from the initial set of instructions:

When you enter song title, you don't have to type out title of song

Yes, the second set of instructions supercedes the first.

I would have had a much different '70s/'80s ratio for Heart, as you could probably tell from my Chicago ratio of 31 '70s/0 '80s.

I only read the first set which said ALSO IMPORTANT. He didn't ask me to edit and put in the song title, which I would have. Sorry Zegras if it messed anything up for you.

 

[MAC_32]

I went to see Ringo's show last night and considered throwing in a last-minute Ringo top 31.

Well, he is the Leader of the Band.

So, about the Electric Light Orchestra / ELO


Xanadu Soundtrack – 2

I’m way more excited to see Xanadu soundtrack on your list than I should be.

My older sister LOVED that movie and soundtrack. As we only had one record player and stereo in the house we had to share our musical choices. This was big in the rotation for a couple years. She liked the ONJ songs best and I liked the ELO songs best.

We got together last summer with our other sister and played a bunch of old records and Xanadu was one of them. We were all still able to sing along to all the songs and were crying laughing the whole time.

Most of the Xanadu songs are money -- both from ELO and from ONJ.

Ok, just finished listing appt on my home that took 2.5 hours. My son plays goalie in a hockey league right now. He's almost done with this list.

I have 3-4 lists I have to check out.
So I will work on those now. Don't know how long it will take, but we might start tomorrow night.

Computer issue resolved, so back up and running nicely there.

And my hands hurt
From playing my guitar
Every night in all those bars
We played like we were stars

I think and am hoping @timschochet is adding the song links right now, because Elton has disappeared from my spreadsheet.

It wasn't me.
