    Some really great songs now, and I'm not even a big fan of the 60s!!

    Match 17: Buffalo Springfield
    Match 18: Nina Simone (kudos to whoever submitted this, I couldn't decide which Nina song to submit and ended up submitting none)
    Match 19: The Beatles (another one of my nominations)
    Match 20: The Kinks (I was trying to find a reason to select here, and the only thing I could think of is that I prefer Ben E. King's version of Stand By Me)

    Upcoming gigs and events: Nova Twins, Tanita Tikaram, David Byrne, The Cure,

    Nomination thread said album tracks were allowed. A lot of the Beatles' best songs were never singles.
