TOURNAMENT OF CHART-TOPPERS 1970S PING LIST
(This is a temporary ping list, so don’t worry!)

Just another ping for any who haven’t voted yet! 16 winners to pick here.

Currently 1 tie, and a couple close ones. (I still have to make my picks as well as my husband; maybe it’ll break.) Many are run-aways.

I’m sad some of my “awesome!” songs are losing again! And cannot stand the idea of certain legends not being in the sweet 16! Guess I have to be glad they made it to 32.
