33 votes for this. Interestingly, though the albums list received more votes, only 722 different albums were voted for, with over 1100 different singles getting votes for the singles poll. Naturally, the albums that topped our poll scored much higher than the singles.

Anyway, like I said earlier, this poll's gonna be a lot slower going than the albums one. More time to appreciate the YSIs and whatnot I guess.

Non-singles voted for that would've made the poll:

Jimmy Cliff - "Many Rivers to Cross"
The Sonics - "Strychine"

there was another one, but I can't remember it at the moment.

Easy there, sally. All in good fun.

yeah I know, that wasn't meant to sound angry or anything.

And hey, now I know the name of at least one New York Knickerbocker. Can't put a price on good trivia.

ahhhh....not seeing you in the LP thread and folks changing avatars all the time throws me sometimes.....

You're Gonna Miss Me...dig the sound of the jug...and you can even see it as an instrument in the photo.....
Also the opening song to my film.....rock on Roky

Here's Zep's Rock and Roll...the link on the original post was wack....




...I know...if you don't have this...wtf...but like many of us music freaks..we're completists....

I was the highest voter for that track and I actually don't have it on my hard drive at the moment. Guess it was one of those songs that I knew so well and heard so often I didn't even realize it wasn't there.

The Paul Revere song is doing the same thing that Rock and Roll was doing for me, its saving as a text file. There must be an easy way to remedy that once its downloaded but I haven't figured it out.

Try changing the extension to .mp3.

link fixed. Apparently YSI doesn't much care for ampersands.

Yay for the Flirtations, and the mighty Clem Cattini on drums.

Did James Jamerson ever play better than he did on "Reflections" and "I Was Made to Love Her"? I think not. Picking with one finger, yet.

The files for "Kicks" and "Rock & Roll" were fine, you just had to add ".mp3" on the end and they would play.

I assumed it would be an easy fix like that but I tried it even before I made the post and it blew my computer's mind for some reason. I'm sure it was just a problem on my end, not the file's. But whatever, its working now.

There's the man.
