    I was still compiling my list of entries and had no idea that the competition had already started. So for the craic, here's a couple of songs that didnt get nominated and undoubtedly would have exited the competition in the first round :)

    James Taylor - Something in the way she moves - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfk9nvUni88
    James Taylor - Carolina in my mind - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR9CH10KdB0
    Creedence - Fortunate Son (their best song imo) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0XKhAHR5I

    Almost every song entered so far though is amazing. Great memories of listening to my parents old 60's compilation CDs going on here :)
