Fleetwood Mac
Paul McCartney and Wings
Curtis Mayfield
Paul McCartney and Wings again!

Man Vs ManUre

Hotel California would get my vote. I think it’s one of the greatest songs ever recorded. I don’t understand people fussing over a simple and small song like Yesterday while this epic masterpiece goes discussion free.

And last but not least.....

Stealer's Wheel came to mind when I was compiling the list because of the scene in Reservoir Dogs....

Dancing Queen was a surprising omission from the Abba nominations.

Having the privilege of seeing the line up evolving, and I needed to fill a few gaps, I put in Another Brick in the Wall as a nomination of mine... because nobody else had.
