Didn't see Bohemian Rhapsody in that lot, Clive.

Poor selection all round I thought

We'll Meet Again?
It's a Long Way to Tipperary?
Lilli Marlene?
Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien?

Some of the items listed aren't even songs. What a contemptible effort - quite the worst I can ever recall.

I thought about posting it Clive, but didn't like the selection.

There are some greats included in that list!

For example:

"Big Yellow Taxi" Joni Mitchell (1970)

Freak Out! (Album), Frank Zappa (1966)

"Help Me" Sonny Boy Williamson II (1963)

"My Girl" William Robinson, Ronald White, as performed by The Temptations (1965)

"Pretty Woman" Roy Orbison & Bill Dees (1964)
