"Shoulda Been A Bigger Hit" Poll (2019 Edition)

Once again I voted in this poll.  This is from a Facebook group I'm part of that used to be  called I.R.S. ("It Really Shoulda" been a bigger hit!).  Now for some reason they changed their name to Wow 100. The concept now is to list songs that make you say Wow! the first time you hear them. I like the old concept better. And besides, when I hear a great song I'm always thinking in terms of Wow-ness. In the past they wanted only songs that missed the Top 10. Now it's any song you think should have charted higher.  But I still like the original concept better.  So, all of my choices below peaked outside the Top 10.  List can go up to 100 songs.
