It's amazing the difference a year makes! I would think pretty much all these songs would be familiar. At least, most of them. I think there are some strong contenders here. Stand By Me, Crazy, Runaround Sue, and Hit the Road Jack present a formidable Top 4 seeds. But there are some upsets bubbling under. Never sure how attached to songs some people are, positively or negatively. Looking forward to seeing how you vote! Once again, thanks for coming along on this journey with me :)

Take Five- good choice!
I was born in 1961. Runaway was the top song the week I was born, but it's far from my favorite on this list.
this one was actually pretty easy for me, as virtually every matchup is a song I like against a song I can't stand....

Not my favorite song in here either, but, all the songs are a decade before I was even born. I just know'em from driving around with my dad.

Glad you liked it! I may not have the widest musical knowledge, but, I try to have a reason to include good songs no matter the year ;)
First round was easy for me....and yes, I knew every song ::)....second round things should get a bit tighter.
Patsy Cline FTW! :bd:

I voted for her too. That's my favorite song in the bracket.
Whoa, Stand By Me is in trouble. Didn't see that coming, but Take Five has style.
How are you able to see the scores?

I can see them after I vote. Can't everyone? If it's a mod thing...whoops!
Cheater!!!
I voted yesterday or whenever the poll came out. I can't see the scores now. Not sure if I was able to immediately after I voted. Or maybe I'm missing something obvious?
I have it set to only be seen after the poll expires. I really want everyone to just pick what they like and be surprised. Keeps the suspense up ;)
I'll try to avoid any future spoilers, Dawg.. My bad!
All good! It's not like we're guarding state secrets here ;)
