Edit:
#94 (Howlin' Wolf "Back Door Man") is 1961, removing it and moving everything up one slot. This shouldn't affect my top 20 but I wanted to maintain its voting eligibility.

Since a few people have put Penderecki's "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima" on their list, I'll follow and put it on my number 1. I don't see why it wouldn't be eligible (the first recording was in 1961, says RYM) and I really adore it. I just didn't think of putting it on my list because I don't have the dates for classical works in my brain.

My general rule of thumb with classical has been to include it in songs lists based on when the composition was completed. (Threnody was completed in 1960.) For classical albums (and this only my preference), I include them if they came out in less than 10 years after the composition was completed (e.g. they still feel contemporary to when the work was written).

It's the only way I could square this in my brain, personally...

Alright, about four days left for this! For monthly polls, I always take them until it is the next month in all time zones, so you are going to have until noon on March 1st Forum Time to submit lists! I can't speak for Schuttlebrine specifically, but this is when the albums deadline will be.

Thanks, I've edited my list accordingly.

And happy 1960 to everyone participating in this poll this month. At the start of the month, I wasn't sure if I'd have the energy to do another decade poll, but then I revisited some favourites and explored a few songs and albums I hadn't heard before, and I came to the same conclusion as the last time I'd done the 1960 poll: the early 60s have so much to offer, from plain and simple acoustic blues and folk, to catchy pop and rock & roll, to avant-garde jazz, to deeply felt soul, to a variety of international gems. I'm excited about 1961 next month.

No contest for me either but the other direction. I like the way the strings become a musical "call and response" to Domino's vocal and serve as a secondary melodic hook. The undubbed version sounds "unfinished" to my ears as a result.
