**Rules:** - If you edit your already-posted entry to make a change, I may not see it. Please do not re-post your entire list – this gets confusing - just add a new post with changes or additions only. **EXAMPLE** : _Remove “Yesterday” and add “You Light Up My Life.”_ - You are allowed to make changes to your entries up until the time that the polls are posted. - Please do not post title suggestions for others to submit. This takes a little of the fun out of the process. It is ok, after the polls are posted, to name titles that have been overlooked. - Submissions are limited to 5 per person. - Exclude articles such as “a”, “an”, “the”, etc. that begin the title. Example: “The Hokey Pokey” belongs in the H poll, not the T poll. - Exclude titles that begin with punctuation, such as an apostrophe, parenthesis, etc. - You must include the artist (not the composer, unless they are the same person) or your submission will not be counted. - Polls will appear in this thread once submissions begin to wind down. - Classical releases are excluded. - Final poll, also in this thread, will narrow the field to 10. - Thanks for playing! ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > (Is the Guess Who song considered one song or two?) No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature is a single track on their Best Of album. Many years ago, I tried to find recordings of each as a separate song, and came up empty. So I’d say it has to be considered one song. ---
