    We're halfway done ... and we still need to "squeeze" in a bunch of songs ... :p

    No. 150: TEMPTED -- Squeeze (Also nominated: Another Nail in My Heart)



    Some heavy-duty early 1980s fashion in this clip.

    A couple of "natural" piks to follow the last song:

    No. 149: PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE -- The Temptations



    (I think this clip might be from "Soul Train")


    No. 148: AIN'T TOO PROUD TO BEG -- The Temptations

    It's getting late, so I'll drop a clue about one of the top songs:

    The following band performed one of the six songs that received three votes!

    No. 143: FOOL IN THE RAIN -- Led Zeppelin
    No. 142: THE LEMON SONG :D -- Led Zeppelin
    No. 141: THANK YOU -- Led Zeppelin
    No. 140: ROCK 'N ROLL -- Led Zeppelin



    All of the above received one vote apiece.

    Southern Rock block:

    No. 137: THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN -- The Band
    No. 136: IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE -- The Band
    No. 135: DEAD FLOWERS -- The Rolling Stones

    Obviously, these are not necessarily "southern" bands. But this one is:

    No. 134: SWEET HOME ALABAMA -- Lynyrd Skynyrd
    No. 133: FREEBIRD -- Lynyrd Skynyrd



    RIP Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines and the others who died in that plane crash.

    We will be hearing from these artists later in the countdown, needless to say.

    Man, this is a great thread! No idea how many times I told myself to contribute to it and never found the time for it.
