Re: Albums and Songs of 1960 Polls
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.

How do remixes work for song titles? For instance, would the "Perfecto Mix" of "Mysterious Ways" count as a separate song? Or would its vote get merged into "Mysterious Ways" regular version?

I'm not a copyright lawyer but the intro is a blatant ripoff. The rest of "I'll Take You There" deviates so it might just not be enough?
Anyway, this is OK but the Staples tune is far superior IMHO.
