Really surprised that Pleasant Valley Sunday got missed.
Three more that I didn’t have room for: Peace Frog by The Doors, Pilgrimage by R.E.M. and Panic In The World by Be Bop Deluxe.
Damn, that;s a beautiful song. It won’t win, but it should.
Hehehe, played and sang this for my co-workers at the Diwali event for my co-workers a couple of weeks ago.
Shouldn’t that be The Doors (or perhaps Echo and the Bunnymen)?
I submitted that song. I also picked it as a favorite. I knew it was supposed to be The Doors.
I think it might be too late for mmm to edit it.

Something went wrong with my nominations. I first had “Polk Salad Annie” (Elvis) and “The Priest” (Joni Mitchell) on the list, but edited it in time and replaced them with “Poor Boy” and “Police And Thieves”. @Mean_Mr.Mustard obviously didn’t notice and put the first suggestions on the poll. No biggie, but these are two more great songs that didn’t make it. Others I came up with later:
Police On My Back - The Equals
Paperlate - Genesis
Sorry, I obviously did not see it. I don’t go back and look at posts to see if they have been edited.
The funny thing is, when I saw that I thought, “huh, I didn’t know Hendrix did that one too, I’ll have to check it out”.
