Rules:

  • @pjd gets 6 entries this round.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • You are allowed to make changes to your entries up until the time that the polls are posted.

  • Final poll, also in this thread, will narrow the field to 10.
