Rock Town Hall’s playoff series to determine—once and for all—the best song on the original Nuggets compilation begins with a determination of the Best Song on Side 1. This part of the process is surprisingly simple, provided you can handle the turmoil that may come with selection a BEST SONG from each of the original Nuggets‘ 4 albums sides. I, for one, will experience tremendous turmoil over my choice for Side 1’s BEST SONG. What a killer top 5–seeded songs, if you ask me!

Before you place your vote and/or you lobby on behalf of a particular song, please take some time to review each of the songs in this division. Then, you are encouraged to state your choice for BEST SONG on Side 1 in the Comments section (you must be registered to add comments, if you’re not already registered, please do so: the more chatter the merrier) and place your vote in the poll associated with this thread.

What’s the Best Song on the Original Nuggets LP?

That’s the question members of popular rock music discussion blog Rock Town Hall are set to tackle. Rather than simply providing an opportunity to simply cast votes for a favorite song, with or without explanation, the Hall has been sanctioned by the International Rockolympic Committee to conduct a week-long playoff series, beginning on Wednesday, August 17. Initial details follow. Please hold your votes, but feel free to add analyses of the divisional match-ups and other related comments as we anticipate the start of this historic showdown!
