Rules: Submissions are limited to **5** per person. @Q.Q.Switcheroo gets up to 8 and @gkster gets up to 6 due to past sins on my part. Exclude articles such as “a”, “an”, “the”, etc. in the title. Exclude titles that begin with punctuation, such as an apostrophe, parenthesis, etc. You must include the artist (not the composer, unless they are also the artist) or your submission will not be counted. Polls will appear in this thread once we reach 100 or 150 nominations, depending on when we hit a wall. Final poll, also in this thread, will narrow the field to 10. ---
