Er, looks like you forgot a little something here. Though, based on your list from 2015, I assume it's The Band's version?

Correct.

EDIT: To be more specific, the deadline is as soon as July 7 ends and July 8 begins.

Is this what you're looking for?

Waving my magic wand, I have extended the deadline by a week. You can now take an extra few days to make sure your list is perfect for submission!

I have also lowered the minimum per list to just 200. Discussion about lowering it any further is still open.

Sweepstakes Ron

I'm running out of time on this aren't I? Want to participate but so much work...I'll try to at least get to 200. The deadline is a soft one, so if you don't think you can make it before the deadline, I can give you an extension! Also, I know I've been rather anal regarding certain aspects of the p...

There's two weeks left to vote, so I'll just declare this now: the results will probably not be ready during the month of July. When they are ready, I want to be absolutely certain that the rollout can go off without a hitch.

Great list, BryanBehar! Just to verify, it is in ranked order, correct?

I've also discovered some duplicates: Pavement - Cut Your Hair, The Beatles - Penny Lane, The Cars - You Might Think, David Bowie - Heroes. So you can switch those out for 4 additional songs.

Live versions of songs (and other alternate versions) are counted with the original version, so no need to worry about that!

For posting purposes, which is preferable?:
A) Whole list in the >1000 thread
B) Top 1000 in the regular thread and songs #1001 and down in the >1000 thread

I'd say option B is preferable, but either is fine.

Aw, I wish it wasn’t so short. He said his new album has 7 tracks, so I hope some of them are much longer (then again, Kanye’s said that he’d do a lot of things he didn’t actually do).
