This year I nominated these songs:
Elvis Costello - "Radio, Radio" - One of my favorite songs, but clearly not something anyone else wants to vote for, at least not at this point. I'm the only person to vote for it so far, so unless it receives a ridiculous amount of votes at the last second it'll be retired from my nominee queue for awhile.
Pink Floyd - "Welcome To The Machine" - This one fared a little bit better, gaining 3 votes so far. The current vote total needed to get induction is 6 (there are still 4 more voters from last round yet to vote this round, so that total may go up), so while there's some interest in this song (just like "Us And Them"), it's not something that needs to be brought back again immediately.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - "Foxy Lady" - Things are looking good for this Hendrix classic, though they could look better. With 6 votes at the moment, "Foxy" would gain induction without needing a tiebreaker, but it's at the bottom of the voting, so it's far from a sure thing. It is gaining a lot of ground, so if it doesn't make it in this year, I'll nominate it again next year.
Santana - "Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen" - Santana looks to be very close to securing their first song in the Hall as it currently has 7 votes. This is my favorite Santana song and the most famous song of Carlos' career until "Smooth" came around and ruined his reputation forever.
T. Rex - "20th Century Boy" - With 8 votes so far, "20th Century Boy" is a lock for induction this year and it's about time. Outside of Bowie, there haven't been many glam rock songs inducted into the Hall. Also, I feel as though we've done justice by Marc Bolan and T. Rex with this song inducted along with "Bang A Gong (Get It On)".
