View Full Version : Rock Wars 13 Nomination Thread: Favorite 50s/60s Song
OK, I think this ones pretty simple, just choose some of your favorite songs from the 50s and 60s (going off the few rules below), giving links to each song please, and weve got ourselves a new Rock Wars TOC. :)
As usual, any song thats been in a RW before is ineligible here (please see the below list for them all if youre unsure). I figure a 128 song TOC for this one, so lets start us all out with say 6 song picks for each of us, though no more than 3 songs from any one group will be allow, and only 1 song per band from a single member here.
So what say you, lets start getting this list together and see if we cant get one very cool list from these classic decades (50s/60s) ready for us to pit against one another!
Thanks all.

I've got a ton that I could nominate here too. I love the oldies and hope to be able to bring some good ones to the table. But I've got some narrowing down to do. A lot of narrowing down in fact.
Not a problem, well have this up for several days Im sure.
Also, if anyone lists a song that doesnt fit into the years 1950 - 1969 (which they may have done unknowingly) please let me know. Thanks.
Doing some research Ive found quite a bit of very cool songs from this era, none of which Ive chosen myself yet, so if anyone wishes to officially chose any of these, youre more than welcome to. :)

Actually, and this is my fault entirely, after you first picked I realized that 7 might be too much for each to start, so I quickly changed it to 6, so if you could possibly lose 1 of those, which Im sure someone else here will nominate afterwards, that would be great. :)

Let's get my nominees started. Where possible, I'll be linking to MP3s as opposed to YouTube clips, as the YouTube audio stream tends to "flatten" the audio signal, causing some of the production brilliance of the era to be lost (having to use MP3s is bad enough, but I can't exactly send around vinyl copies of all these tracks):
The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil (http://www.fusion45.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/Stones/The%20Rolling%20Stones%20-%20Sympathy%20for%20the%20Devil.mp3)
Ike and Tina Turner - River Deep, Mountain High (http://classes.berklee.edu/mfarquharson/CW275/CW275%20Project%202%20MP3/Phil%20Spector/Tina%20Turner%20-%20River%20Deep,%20Mountain%20High.mp3)
The Ronettes - Be My Baby (http://www.deliciouscopitone.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/be-my-baby.mp3)
Tom Jones - Delilah (http://airbornedivision.com/holding/Tom%20Jones%20-%20Delilah.mp3)
Two more as I ponder this throughout the day...

I just found out that Marvin Gaye's What's Going On was actually 71, so in it's stead I'll nominate:

The Great Pretender (The Platters) - The Great Pretender (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riFR_UxRwaQ)
Cry (Poor Old Johnny Ray) - Cry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKxbEtevitI)
That gives me three fifties songs I need to do 1 more 60s tune. I'll be back.

Well personally I think Suspicious Minds is a biggie, and probably my favorite Elvis song. Though in saying what you have, it reminds me Id better place a Beatles pic before they all get taken. I think Ill go with:
I Saw Her Standing There (The Beatles) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlB8i9AqFaE
So at this stage Elvis is fully taken up, and The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are allowed only 1 more song each.
MSU already nominated this one.
Good catch, and I urge us all to watch the list for other such mishaps, makes my job easier having help catching such things. :)

Excellent! Bonus pick! Let's go with:
The Beach Boys - God Only Knows (http://airbornedivision.com/holding/The%20Beach%20Boys%20-%20God%20Only%20Knows.mp3)
And because I need to make at least a couple picks that aren't Wall of Soundy:
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son (http://podcast.xs4all.nl/upload/werksman-creedence_clearwater_revival_-_fortunate_son.mp3)
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit (http://www.fantasticweapon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/jefferson-airplane---white-rabbit.mp3) (wanted to recommend The Doors' "The End," but 12 minutes seemed kind of excessive).
Just for the record, you all dont need to evenly split your pics from the 50s and 60s, you can make them one all or the other, or any combination therein.
Oh, and DONT FORGET we still have a Duets TOC going on, so get your butts over there and keep voting til its done first and foremost! :)

I was going to nominate Runaway, but since readyeddy? already did that, I am not going to let an hour's worth of listening and re-listening to that song go to waste and post three links (in order of preference).
Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TLLcvWeiKw), here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S13mP_pfEc), or here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGlUnzaFvGU&feature=related).Take your pick. :)
As for my nominees, I guess I will go with:
1) At the Hop, by Danny and the Juniors (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-oiH0V1sBU) (1957).
2) Nobody But Me, by the Human Beinz (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxtJoGdujYo) (1968).
3) Reach Out (I'll Be There), by the Four Tops (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xggIgxW_xis&feature=related) (1966).
4) The Kids Are Alright, by The Who (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmowtt9vhLY) (1965). It's at this point that I start wondering if I should just load up the rest of my list with Who songs, but decide against it. You can count on more coming, though. Too great a band, even though the Beatles and the Stones get the most praise.
5) Runaround Sue, by Dion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c49klxPex-k) (1961).
6) Be My Baby, by the Ronettes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzhbGaCwBzs) (1963).
Not all of these are my absolute, absolute favorites, but I wanted to catch a mood more than just make a list. I bumped Procol Harum (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ0BEXn_6mE) to make room for Danny and the Juniors, but felt it important to include some 50s music.
Besides, if I want to sit here and second guess myself, I would never get a list done. :cool:

Now how about somebody considering "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys?
For me, it was a toss-up between Good Vibrations and God Only Knows - I ended up going with the latter because I felt like it was a stronger track throughout (Good Vibrations kind of breaks down at about the halfway mark, before picking up for the final minute of the song).

I knew that, it's just a personal preference for me.
My last song I'm going to go with something Psychedelic era. I've been waffling between The Blues Magoos - We Ain't Got Nothing Yet, The Count Five - Psychotic Reaction, ? and the Mysterians - 96 Tears or Maybe some lighter fare that's considered Psychedlia like Mamas and Papas - Creeque Alley.
I may change up this pick, but for now it's:

Not to mention that the Beach Boys, the Monkees, Credence, and Simon and Garfunkel are so far woefully under-represented in this. I wouldn't presume to choose just one or two of the dosens of gems from them.
So pick my suggestions, not these other guys.

Yes it's true. It could be taken as sad and pathetic, but I prefer to see us as so passionate about these songs, that while we can only nominate six ourselves, we take it as our solemn responsibility to get the names out there at least so that if we can't, at least someone might nominate them.

There's so many great songs to choose from, this has to be the toughest nomination thread yet.
I wanted to see if I could narrow my nominations down to a single year (initially, it was 1968), but I ended up going with a four-year spread (1966-69). Two decades of some of the best music in pop history is just too much to choose from.

those are great years and I believe that 1969 is considered by many to be the single greatest year of album and music releases in the rock era.
I chose mine as a couple of personal favorites and a few "just great songs" and hopefully open up some ears to the awesome sounds that came out of those decades.

How can no one have nominated "Wake Up Little Suzie?" by the Everly Brothers?!?!??
The first song about the walk of shame....
Well KiwiGirl and I havent done out full amounts yet, incredible still has more if he wants them, and Grinner, lurker, BudPalmer, charlesx, and Space Jawa havent done any yet. Im sure at this stage several of us will get a 7th pick (which I do not want now, thanks) :)

First of all - So Long Marianne is a great choice. I'm glad someone picked that.
I would have loved to pick a VU song, but I wanted to grab something no one else would and that came down to some of the Psychedelic songs, Nina Simone and VU. As much as I would love to see I'll be your Mirror, Femme Fatale, White Light/White Heat I wound up passing for personal reasons. Mostly because I would get way to snobbish if a VU song was crushed in the first round and I have a feeling it would be.
Now you got me in the mood for some VU. I was going to go with their version of White Light White Heat, but something inside me said, "No, you want tom listen to Mick Ronson's killer guitar version that's part T Rex style boogie and part Bowie circa 73/74.

My #4 is a song I've really discovered this past year. Sure I knew it but never got into it until recently. I love the fact that two stories are going on at once, the first; an old English tale about a love made impossible and the second in the background, an anti-war tale. Here's Simon & Garfunkel's 'Scarborough Fair'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEhAXQ5QQzs
I'd have nominated their 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' but that came out in 1970. That list should be fun.
flyingicarus
11/07/2009, 10:16
#5 is a favorite band of the '60s who hasn't been represented here. I'll select their most famous song from their controversial Ed Sullivan appearance (where they actually used the word 'higher'). Here's the Doors, "Light My Fire".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LtPVBqQsf8
flyingicarus
11/07/2009, 10:19
#6 goes back to the '50s. It was a toss up between choosing this and a song I've discovered lately (Beyond the Sea). But this I have always loved:
Bobby Darin "Mack the Knife"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qrjtr_uFac
flyingicarus
11/07/2009, 11:07
And my final choice. So many good songs/artists that will get missed. Going through so many options. CSN's "Suite; Judy Blue Eyes", Four Seasons "Walk Like A Man" and "Rag Doll", Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love" (and the lesser known "Lather"), heck even "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is way up there for me.
For my #7 I'll give the edge to a classic Beatles tune that always, always, always makes me feel good: "Here Comes the Sun".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQKcpmnRsP0&feature=related
As Beatles song might no longer be allowed nominated I'll choose this alternate by Manfred Mann, "Do Wah Ditty Ditty".

Glad you took me up on my invitation to check this out.
While I like The Lion Sleeps Tonight a lot, it didn't make my final cut. I'd have personally gone with Beyond the Sea over Mack the Knife, but that's me. They're both good, and Mack the Knife does have a certain something.

Are the Beatles still allowed then? Because 'Here Comes the Sun' was my 7th but I'd gladly take it as #8.
Oh no, I was one of the three Beatles songs originally with I Saw Her Standing There, but now Im not sure if I want that or All My Loving (I want to represent the Beatles in a bit different tone than the ones that are already up, Yesterday and Guitar...) Id love to pick Hey Jude (possibly my favorite song ever) but it was already in the Favorite Song TOC.

Both of the other Beatles nominations have them in their slower, more reflective mood. I Saw Her Standing There is a little more hard-rockin'.
Even All My Loving is a little more up tempo than the other two, but I think I Saw Her Standing There is a bit more contrasting in mood and style. Up to you of course, but I think your original pick gives it a little broader Beatle variety

If you have to nominate the Beatles, how about this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vGv_d0mk6Q)?
Should I get an eigths pick, it will be Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtPF9M3nIHs)

I have a special place in my heart for the very early Beatles stuff like this and I Want to Hold Your Hand. Sure they're not as mature examples of songwriting and performance as their later stuff, but these just make you feel good.
I don't think DTM said anything about 8th picks yet. No jumping the gun, you! :)

Well this particular gun jumper says if I get an eighth pick I'll go with For Your Love by the Yardbirds which I have already provided a link earlier to.

For pick #8, If Hail didn't pick Velvet Underground's I'll Be You Mirror. I'll Be Your Mirror (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHmAUODVaLY)
If he did, let me know and I'll pick either Venus in Furs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwzaifhSw2c) or Femme Fatale (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8IV6lJSm1c)
Hey Hail, I was thinking, even though I'll be Your Mirror is one of my favorite VU songs, I actually prefer the Lou Reed on vocals live version better.

There is a song that I would like to see in, but the versions that I can find either aren't original, or aren't of good quality, so that one will just have to do. :cool:

So many good songs left. Tempted to choose Judy Collins 'Both Sides Now' but instead I'll take a song about her. My favorite era in the 50s/60s is easily the late 60s pop, rock, folk flower power stuff. This song is all of those:
Crosby, Stills & Nash "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes"

Yeah, I noticed that egregious omission too. I really feel he ought to be represented, but "That'll Be the Day" has been used, and I don't like his other songs quite enough to bump one of the ones I've already picked for them.

11/08/2009, 17:15
If this were strictly for the Fifties I definitely would have included Buddy Holly but the Sixties is just too rich a decade musicwise.
OK, at this stage its just the last few from Kiwi and myself (which Ill try to do asap), a few from lurker, and one each from MSU and Hail (though we cant wait forever guys, so get your picks in asap please).
Couldn't choose between these two so I'll nominate both:
TWENTY FOUR HOURS FROM TULSA (Gene Pitney) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIjUaxP7PPE
(THE MAN WHO SHOT) LIBERTY VALANCE (Gene Pitney) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDN4L7cAQf0

I'll defer to Uncle Velvet for the "I'll Be Your Mirror" pick and go for something that was actually released in the 1960s (thanks to readyeddy for the head's up on my little whoops with Zeppelin):
Love - "Alone Again Or" (http://tapasntapas.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/Love-Alone_Again_Or.mp3)

At the risk of making it harder for one of my own picks to advance, what was wrong with your Zeppelin pick?
Great. Since I'm a newbie how does this weeding through process start?
Ill be posting individual match threads, on it two paired up songs (randomly done, not by myself) with links for us all to listen to, and then you just vote for the song you like more than the other (even if its a lesser of two evils vote). Easy. :)

120.RUNNING BEAR (Johnny Preston)
Whose nomination was this? I missed it, but whoever you are, you deserve to be repped for this one, just for remembering it. I haven't heard that song in probably 20 years.
The nomination for that "unknown" (to me anyway) song goes to my wife, KiwiGirl. :)

if you look back through this thread, I was begging people to nominate this song. But oh well. This is why I wish we were doing seperate decades. There's too much good stuff per decade. I don't think anybody nominated Cream for instance.
If the decades had been separated we would have had more room to expose people to good music that isn't so high profile. I would have liked to have nominated Mary Hopkin's "Those Were The Days" for instance. I did sneak in a Pretty Things song though not because I expect it to win but because I hope to let more people know it exists and this is a good format for exposure.
By the way DTM, The group is The Pretty Things and the song is "Private Sorrow". You made the same mistake with the It's a Beautiful Day song I nominated for one hit wonders,
If we did seperate decade TOCs, we would have done it at 64 songs, meaning we each would have gotten half the picks we did for this one, so in the end a 128 song TOC encompassing 2 decades pretty much works out the same. And Ill check your song and ammend as needed on the list. :)

Yeah, but, how many 60's song are there for this one?
I think some 50's songs got bumped out to make room for more 60's.

That would be the 70s/80s. She covered it on her "I Love Rock and Roll" album in 1981.

For what it's worth, I probably would have split them not straight on decades lines. I'd have liked to have seen something like 50s-1964 and then a 1964-1969. Most of the early part of the 60s was more musically akin to the late 50s than to the later 60s.
