I'd recommend adding Green Days "jesus of suburbia" to songs and the Killers "Sams Town" to albums.

[Billys Boots]

Just over two hours left if you've any additional nominations.

For me personally, the Beatles have quite a few better songs than Strawberry Fields Forever, not that it's not a good song either.

Daytripper, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Let it Be, Blackbird, Come Together, Here Comes the Sun to name but a few.

I'd say Daytripper as an alternative to Strawberry Fields Forever.

Other songs worth a mention - Rubber Bullets - 10cc, Rock the Casbah - The Clash, With or Without You - U2, A Town Called Malice - The Jam


As for albums The Rolling Stones don't get a mention. Let it Bleed should be in there.

I think its the best selling album in Ireland ever.

So theres a handful that agree 

[glens73]

That doesn't make it good. Does that mean the Spice Girls are up there with the Beatles cos they sold loads.

Half an hour left for nominations.
