**Rules:** - **CLARIFIED** : 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 a new post with changes or additions only. **EXAMPLE** : _Remove “Wish You Were Here” and add “We Built This City”_. - 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! ---

I would like to argue that the El in El Paso is not an article, but part of a single name. No one ever lists the city as Paso, El, and it is always listed alphabetically. The song is not about “the passed”, it is about a city whose monolithic singular name starts with E. If my appeal does not succeed, then I’ll go with: [Edge of Seventeen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmPgMc3R8zg) - Stevie Nicks [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-your-favorite-songs-that-begins-with-the-letter-e-see-rules-in-op-final-poll-added/993288.md?page=2)
