Should Have Been A Top 10 Hit - Poll (2016)
This is from a Facebook group I'm part of called H&z Rock's I.R.S. They do a Poll every year asking which songs should have made the Top 10. You can list as many as you want. I was going to stop at 100, but then became shocked to find out some songs I thought were Top 10's (Five Satins, Skyliners, etc.) didn't make it. Eventually I had to stop because the list could have gone on forever, but I'm open for suggestions. I also tried not to list too many songs by one artist (Elvis, Elton John, etc.) that missed the Top 10.
