The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog
Nick Drake - River Man
The Impressions - Mighty Mighty
Tim Buckley - Buzzin' Fly
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil
Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay
The Left Bank - My Friend Today
Isaac Hayes - Walk On By
Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come

Martha & the Vandellas - Nowhere to Run
Smokey Robinson & the Miracles - Tracks of My Tears
Wilson Pickett - In the Midnight Hour
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
The Velvet Underground - Heroin
The Jackson 5: I Want You Back
Dusty Springfield: Son of a Preacher Man
Irma Thomas: Time Is on My Side"
Most of these are pretty obvious, but they're classics for a reason. As is most of the pitchfork list.
I would like to know what you have to go up against the 76% that you didn't agree with, from their top 200?
also I don't get why you can't have more than one track per artist? Maybe set a limit, but why only one?

I don't exactly understand the terms and conditions but here are my nominees:
Neil Diamond, Girl You'll be a woman Soon
Frank Zappa, Peaches en Regalia
Marlena Shaw, California Soul
Tony Basil, I'm 28
Patsy Cline, Crazy
not really in My top 200 but I'm sure they make the grade for others:
Strawberry Alarm Clock, Incense and Peppermints
Righteous Brothers, You've Lost that loving feeling
and then here are some Artists that could be included, need suggestions for specific songs though:
The Who
Roy Orbison
Love
Ike and Tina
Cream
Johnny Cash
Ohio Players
Bob Marley and/Or Peter Tosh??

I'd suggest allowing multiple entries per artist. There's no real rationale not to, from what I can see. If we even manage to get this list to 200 (kind of slow going right now), we can always debate the merits of cutting someone's third or fourth entries off it. I'm not about to nominate 10 songs by a single artist but it'd be nice to include, you know, three Beatles tunes or a handful of James Brown songs or Coltrane tracks or...you get the pic.
A few off the top:
Association: Never My Love
Brenton Wood: Gimme a Little Sign
Al Green: Back Up Train
John Coltrane: Alabama
Cream: Sunshine of Your Love

I don't want to be an ashole, but 1 vote against:
Neil Diamond, Girl You'll be a woman Soon
Or any other Neil Diamond song I've ever heard.
I like Crimson and Clover, I think there might be 200 better songs. Tommy James is real cool to me. He morphed styles over and over and his songs were always the best top 40 versions of whatever he was doing.
Since we've started I've been thinking about Johnny Cash, but I have not decided what his one best 60s song is. Maybe the spoken intro to Live At some prison where he tells them not to say words like ****

I'll nominate No Woman No Cry for Bob Marley

Its cool you dont like Neil Diamond, But No Woman No Cry is by far my most hated Bob Marley song ever next to Stir it Up. I think anything off of legend should be automatically void from this list.
Rainbow Country, Chances Are, Simmer Down, Bend Down Low, Soul Shakedown, Mellow Mood...The list goes on and on. I am definitely more partial to his earlier work and his discography is so large picking one would be impossible but No Woman No Cry doesnt even come close to making the grade.

Sure you don't mean Thee Midniters? (Totally different group from Hank Ballard's Midnighters, unless he did this song too?)
