I can do these for you:
# 204 The Clovers - One Mint Julep
# 141 Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Mickey's Monkey
# 093 The Ronettes - Baby I love you
# 048b Sam Cooke - Bring it on Home to me
# 025a Bob Dylan - Blowin' in the wind
# 023 Eddie Cochran - Somethin' else

well, i didn't vote but just wanted to say that i am proud of you soombies who put this song into the top ten. well played!

oh, i think the song might be about pussy.

That would be just great
Thanks a lot!

PS what about that YYY 256 kbps? You have it?

Heres the following tracks you needed, daniel.

# 204 The Clovers - One Mint Julep
# 141 Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Mickey's Monkey
# 093 The Ronettes - Baby I love you
# 048b Sam Cooke - Bring it on Home to me
# 025a Bob Dylan - Blowin' in the wind
# 023 Eddie Cochran - Somethin' else

edit: Nope, just the original 192 without track 12.

Great job, GDB! I noticed that "Laugh, Laugh" by Beau Brummells and I think, "My Girl" by The Temps were in the sub-250. Weren't these released in early 1965? Both American acts,so the typical delays in British domestic releases don't apply.

If these, or any others ranked lower than 250 were listed in the total tally, could we still vote for them in "65-74 poll?

I can get you the rest, Dan:
# 228 Little Willie John - I'm shakin'
# 218 The Drifters - There goes my baby
# 090 Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Mickey's Monkey
# 054 Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - You Really Got a Hold on Me
# 022 Dionne Warwick - Walk on By

EDIT: Here it is:

I'll add to the chorus of thanks to GDB. Bang-up job sir. Extra kudos for all the mp3 tagging you did

I think so, I didn't much quibble with release dates for singles that didn't make the poll.

Yes, only songs that made the top 250 are totally inelligible. Anything else is fair game (assuming, of course, that it's in some way arguable as being a '65 - '74 single).

Nice one, btw.

Well, it was a predominantly 50's poll (10 yrs as opposed to 5). I don't know what the percentage of actual 50's songs was, but it was a fair bit.
Not complaining, just sayin'...

Breakdown by year (this is including b-sides, so it adds up to 301, not 250)

'50: 5
'51: 4
'52: 3
'53: 2
'54: 7
'55: 14
'56: 33
'57: 22
'58: 27
'59: 15
'60: 18
'61: 20
'62: 33
'63: 39
'64: 59

And by half-decade:

'50 - '54: 21
'55 - '59: 111
'60 - '64: 169

so yeah, kinda very skewed. Inevitable, though (and not necessarily regrettable).

and here's where I jump back into the countdown!

you got nothing? um... uh... it WAS a HUGE joke on a rather popular 90S sitcom. think about it man!

not so horribly skewed really. Biggest issue is 59 songs from 1964. Early 50's was pretty sparse rock-wise, and rockism or no, this board ain't a jazz or early 50's pop or country board. 1956 trailed only '63 and '64, and '63 only had 6 more songs. Not bad.

And all you naysayers for the Kinks having 2 tracks so high in the poll - the reason is simple - there aren't that many "modern" rock songs eligible. For many around here there just isn't the knowledge of the 50's stuff, so the stuff that's modern enough to be played on current or recent radio formats will do better than stuff that isn't. That and both songs are great.

Thank you so very much, man!

So now I have it complete, is there people interested in me uploading packages of this (50 each)?
Hm... I guesss I'll just start doing it for all the people who was late.

+ + +

Things I didn't know at all and that from now on I truly love:

- What'd I say from Ray Charles, specially for the instrumental intro.
- Eddie Cochran: Summertime Blues (well, his tracks in this list are all huge)
- The Supremes: Where did our love go. Well, I did know it, but I love it even more now that I have it.
- Santo & Johnny: Sleep Walk. What a great discovery. Thanks for this guys. Aaahhh...
- Pipeline, from The Chantays. Another great instrumental.
- Etta James: At Last. I think I already said it. I get goose bumps with this one.
- The Ventures: Walk, don't run. I just knew John Barry's version. This is so great.

... and many many more

Thanks again!!!

Not if you count the R&B scene.



Tell 'em. I'll defend the country - believe it or not, it has a lot more in common with the rock than you'd think - but I do wonder why some of you felt that this list needed more pop (Esquivel) or jazz records.

thanks for the re-ups.
I just miss this one:

# 141 Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Shop Around

Apart from that John Lee Hooker... is there another track that should be replaced?

My only suggestion will be:

Hank Williams - Cold Cold Heart (58 kbps)
The Monotones - Book of Love (64 kbps)
Frankie Ford - Sea Cruise (96 kbps)
Irma Thomas - Wish Someone Would Care (96 kbps)

In case anyone is interested, I compiled an all-time songs list for atease late last year. It wasn't just singles, and I allowed up to 300 votes. Here's the Top 100 tracks from 1964 and before.

So much jazz!
:-P

Lotta jazz fans on that board! (Myself included.) And The Ronettes on top....

So much jazz by so few artists.

This song is absolutely terrible.




















k

That too.
*yawn*

True, only the jazz titans made much headway near the top of the list. But that's generally the trend with any poll. All the Mingus made me happy, though.

I haven't heard them all nor checked all the bit rates as you've done but I did change Del Shannon's Runaway

Here's you go....

h**p://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1LFAEBKOIFVA12M2PUMN1DN0VU

You've been wrong dozens of times before, you will be again.

Is this version older or something? It sounds different and it's a little bit shorter...





I think it's brilliant.
When the "...for you" comes I get a delicious shiver, something that until now it only happened with the "listen, listen, listen..." from Beach Boy's Don't Talk.

The Del Shannon is from a oldies comp. It's much crisper. It's the real deal...trust me.


And...I'll bet Bruce would not say the Flamingos song sucks.

I've been listening to the songs and here's a couple more you might want to replace....
Booker T's Green Onions is from the American Graffiti soundtrack and thus has Wolfman Jack talk over the tail of it....so here's a clean copy in beautiful 320....

h**p://s42.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0PJYV36HSCHT612SBWXGEI80SK

I also noticed that Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley must come from some sort of documentary because he starts talking at the tail of this one....again...here's a clean one of that in 320 as well....

More on the way.

Hey Mitchell.....I don't need this but...man....just goes to show....you are awesome!

Cheers! Hopefully I'll be able to the same thing for the next lot. I imagine that for the last two polls I won't be able to log on every day and d/load stuff so I think we need to get things like this up.

what kind of files are those?
i downloaded one and my computer doesn't seem to recognize it.

cool, Mitch, thanks for doing this.

I thought they were .rar but if not WinRAR isn't working on them, try d/loading StuffIt (http://www.stuffit.com/) to open them.

They are rars but for some reason the file extension is getting stripped when you upload it. Just add the .rar back on yourself and they work fine. And thanks again Mitch.

yep, it worked. thanks a lot, guys.

done.

mitchell doesn't get enuf credit around here. Great work. Hopefully, they'll still be up by the time I get a chance to grab 'em.

Thanks dude.

Thanks. The links stay up until they go 30 days without a download.

Thanks again for these mitch.
