I was probably already thinking about looking up a link to the Concrete Blonde performance later in my list when I was typing the X song. And the Wilson Pickett song? I just fat-fingered that one.

At first I voted for Satisfaction, Don’t Fear the Reaper, and 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. Sorry Paul, I had to take yours out and and replaced it with Otis’s Dock of the Bay. Tough call. ---

Just a heads up on a **new rule** : 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. Thanks, mmm ---
