Sucks that you can only vote for one at a time. I guess simply listing them would be easier, but still kind of a PITA. Good amount of suggestions so far. I don't know any by title but will definitely check them out. |

I really enjoy "Ain't Talkin 'bout Love", "It Ain't Like That", and "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution". My favorite is probably the AC/DC track.

The Sparks would be my favourite followed by Bill Withers. By the way, I ain't gonna vote right now. -------------

it's not a Three Dog Night song as far as I know, Trevor Bolder wrote it. |

Actually, Ron Davies wrote it and it was covered by several people, including 3 Dog Night and Bowie. I just think the Bowie version is the best. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Ah, I suspected as much, 3 Dog Night were pretty much a covers band anyway. Curious factette about the Bowie version: his pre-Angie ex-Girlfriend Dana Gillespie sang backing vocals on that. On her 1969 album 'Box of Surprises' there is a track called "For David, The Next Day" - probably completely co-incidental but who knows. ------------- What? |

Kudos! That is one obscure factette, Dean. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

And speaking of covers (and factettes ), many songs supplied in the poll are covers from other composers or performers. Just off the top of my head I know "Ain't Superstitious" was written by Willie Dixon and first performed by the wonderful Howlin' Wolf, "Ain't Misbehavin'" is a Fats Waller tune, and "I Ain't Got You" was done by Jimmy Reed and a later great cover was done by The Yardbirds.

I like both very much. I think the Stones version is quite different and therefore deserving of its own spot in the poll. To the poster who suggested Ain't no Sunshine. That is undoubtedly a GREAT song. I have it on the "Sunshine" disc, because this one already had so many great tunes, whereas the Sunshine disc was a bit weaker. I try to not reuse songs from theme to theme if at all possible. |
