Should Have Been Top 10 Hits Poll
A Facebook group I joined called H&z Rock's I.R.S. does a Poll every year asking which songs should have been Top 10 songs. You can list up to 100. I was going to stop at 50, but then became shocked to find out some songs I thought were Top 10's (Five Satins, Skyliners, etc.) didn't make it. So, I kept going to 100. These are supposed to be ranked, but that was a tough task. Consider Marvin & Tammi a lock at the top, and then every one else.
