One of my favourite musical facts is that the lead singer of the Spencer Davis Group, is also the lead vocal on this 'classic'

That's Steve Winwood for anyone who is unfamiliar with his work.

Cash is overrated and you know it, ya Beatles hating lunatic... I did actually vote for Purple Haze though, and voting against Hey Joe was a tough call, but I really love You Don't Own Me.

Cash is a legend.

Ah, tbh Folsom Prison Blues is a 50s song really anyways, it's only in on a technicality as the live version from the prison charted.

But it was by far the better song out of those two

The Beatles deserve it tbf. They must have about 50 songs nominated.

Need to eliminate a few for some actual diversity in the latter rounds, I'm just doing my bit for the good of the people

Ah I'm only messin', I've nothing against the Cash Man... Folsom Prison Blues is certainly a classic, I'll give you that, but its no Summer In The City.
