To me, this was the weakest bunch of songs so far. Very hard to even come close to casting 10 votes in each poll. ---

A bunch of songs in the polls that begin with “The” – was there a rule change that I missed? ---

My voting strategy is “I have heard of this song”. ---

How come Poll 1 of 3 doesn’t show who picked what songs? It’s totally different than all the others. ---

I’m not sure what happened. Now it is fine. Originally it had navy blue bars on the songs I picked, and no avatars showing. ---

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 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-the-best-song-that-begins-with-the-letter-k-see-rules-in-op/992822.md?page=3)
