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

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