Band on the Run:
Did I win?I have the following entries for the two contests. Please let me know if I missed yours! I should have farmed out these PMs, as keeping a tidy inbox between these and the actual countdown entries has been impossible. Please just bump our PM conversation if you're not listed and should be.
Still hoping for more entries! Remember that 1st AND 2nd place will get significant contributions to their charities due to the generosity of several of our brethren.

I watched the first two episodes this morning and I like it. I'll stick with it.Anybody here watched Daisy Jones & The Six? It hasn’t gotten the best reviews but I liked it. Gotta kind of Fleetwood Mac feel to the story. And the music is pretty good:

Reading the book now — enjoying it. Been meaning to read it, and decided to get it in before watching.I watched the first two episodes this morning and I like it.

I think it was from some TV Show.I remember this song from my childhood, but until I heard it recently on the Sirius 70s on 7 station, I had no idea it was by the guy from An American Werewolf in London: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F47AfASOnA8
Yep.

They actually made a TV show out of it, also starring David Naughton.I remember this song from my childhood, but until I heard it recently on the Sirius 70s on 7 station, I had no idea it was by the guy from An American Werewolf in London: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F47AfASOnA8

I guess ABC was desperate for a Saturday Night Fever knockoff/New Travolta.
It's hard to be more square than that. It's really bad. Anytime an AT40 comes up on SXM from 1979, I'm frightened this will get played.I remember this song from my childhood, but until I heard it recently on the Sirius 70s on 7 station, I had no idea it was by the guy from An American Werewolf in London: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F47AfASOnA8

It always sounded to me like they were trying to recapture what Barry Manilow did on Copacabana.It's hard to be more square than that. It's really bad.

Better than Billy Joel, though.
Network TV was pretty horrid in the 20th century.Yep.

In 2002, TV Guide ranked Makin' it at number 40 on its TV Guide's 50 Worst TV Shows of All Time list.
There were worse shows. 39 of them in fact.
I remember that commercial but I had no idea that was the Werewolf guy.I remember this song from my childhood, but until I heard it recently on the Sirius 70s on 7 station, I had no idea it was by the guy from An American Werewolf in London: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F47AfASOnA8

...they fired the poor guy after his werewolf movie role ...bastards.

@JMLs secret identity , I think?).
This makes "Copacabana" sound like "I've Been Loving You Too Long". It is the whitest record ever made.It always sounded to me like they were trying to recapture what Barry Manilow did on Copacabana.It's hard to be more square than that. It's really bad.

Looking at some of the last five out, I clearly didn’t do enough research on this one and missed some artists I might have taken.I completely forgot the Scorpions existed. Whoops, too late now
When I realized that all 5 of these previously ineligible songs were going to be in the upper half of my list, 3 in the top 5, I decided to make them my last 5 out. I left a few of the ineligibles in my top 31 but they are widely dispersed throughout the list and the large majority of the songs are from eligible "world" nations.LAST FIVE OUT (PART TWO):
The Dreaded Marco:
Someone Great - LCD Soundsystem
Debaser - Pixies
Poses - Rufus Wainwright
Soon - My Bloody Valentine
Blood And Roses - The Smithereens
Those Pitt twins are built like guitar strings.I have basketball on, and as I was typing one of my prior posts I heard someone say, "He was born in the Canary Islands, part of Spain," and I instinctively jerked my head up to see if it was someone whom I should choose for the countdown.![]()
I award myself a bonus selection for doing all this work.Of all the artists on my top 31, the Bee Gees were the most difficult from whom to choose one song. I wanted to highlight their incredible harmonies, but I also wanted to give a nod to Robin as the most underappreciated and talented of the brothers. I will have another song of theirs on my official list, but my bonus song, more than any other IMO, shows Robin's immense talent. I love to watch this live version from 1969, when he would have been 19 and looks as awkward and goofy as most teenage boys do. Poor kid...in that video he is such the ugly duckling, particularly compared to the always-dreamy Barry, regular guy Maurice, and the Aussie drummer who's just happy to be there. But Robin KILLS it on the performance. For the playlist, I asked Hawks to include a truly stunning live performance of the song from 1997. His voice was always vulnerable but angelic. Gives me chills.

I had them in my original 5 out, but replaced them right before submitting. I'm hoping someone took my favorite by them.I completely forgot the Scorpions existed. Whoops, too late now
Also had a Scorps song in my top 50I had them in my original 5 out, but replaced them right before submitting. I'm hoping someone took my favorite by them.I completely forgot the Scorpions existed. Whoops, too late now
I just ate some pistachios and they were great. I always lick the salt off the shell first. Do you remember this Naked Gun scene? You don't see those red ones anymore.Tell me something good
Sorry I never sent a last 5 out. Include/don't include these or whatever...
