Songs from my list that didn’t make it:

Why - The Byrds

The Way I Do - Melissa Etheridge

Weather With You - Crowded House

Waitin’ For The Bus - ZZ Top

We Are The Roadcrew - Motörhead

War - Edwin Starr

Very sorry about that, @EinsteinsHund. The W category has been a nightmare. I think I overloaded the system.

(for those wondering, I was having trouble posting the W polls, kept getting error messages. It finally worked, so I edited my above post about the issue to “never mind”.)

mmm

No need to worry, I picked seven others that all went into the polls. My list above are only those that didn’t make my or anybody else’s cut.

Oh, whew, I get it now.

mmm

There are also some songs that made the polls, but have other remarkable versions:

Woodstock - Joni Mitchell

Woodstock - Matthew’s Southern Comfort

Willin’ - Little Feat

Willin’ - Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs

With A Little Help From My Friends - Joe Cocker
