**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 “Eleanor Rigby” and add “Ebony and Ivory.”

- You are allowed to make changes to your entries up until the time that the polls are posted.

- Please do not post title suggestions or comments on alternative titles. 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!

Uninvited - Alanis Morissette  
Untitled - Collective Soul (The song is listed as “Untitled” in the liner notes, so I would argue that the song’s title is “Untitled”)
