But if you’d been among the first, you’d just be nominating songs someone else was going to pick anyway. This way, not only do your top five choices make it onto the list, but also some other favorites of yours that no one else might have thought of.

Ike_Witt beat ya to this one.

I dunno how I missed Roundabout, so thanks to kenobi_65.

This is turning out to be a bumper category for excellent songs. Going to be some tough polls.

I was going to nominate “'Round Midnight” but sadly it starts with an apostrophe.

Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town - Kenny Rogers
Renegade – Styx
Ramblin’ Man - The Allman Brothers Band
Red Headed Stranger - Willie Nelson
Rose, The – Bette Midler

This was so hard! So many of my best loved songs are on the cutting floor.

Looks like Renegade is a duplicate, so…

Replace Renegade - Styx with Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) - Bruce Springsteen

The search function must be broken, but if not:

Rock Around The Clock - Bill Haley & his Comets
Rocket 88 - Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats (Ike Turner’s Rhythm Kings)

Wow, I’m glad you caught that.

mmm

Rock-In Robin - Bobby Day
Rock Island Line - Lonnie Donegan
Rave On - Buddy Holly

Ripple - Grateful Dead

Rock Me on the Water - Linda Ronstadt

Rock This Town - Stray Cats

Rock You Like a Hurricane - Scorpions

I see what happened. He spelled it “Rocketman,” without the space, so it didn’t show up when I searched for it.

@Mean_Mr.Mustard Please replace my nomination of Rocket Man with Rag Mop by Lionel Hampton. Thanks.

Rosanna - Toto
Rockin’ Roll Baby - The Stylistics
Rainy Night In Georgia - Conway Twitty & Sam Moore (of original Sam & Dave)
Remember Me - Diana Ross
Rolling In The Deep - Adele
