I saw a t least two other songs that are on the 1967 list. I wonder why they are listed for both years on some sites? I would Google my question, but I'm not sure anymore I would get a correct answer.

I suspect there are some songs that are released late in one year and really don't climb the charts until January and later of the next year. Thus there would be a discrepancy between the year the song was released and the year it was popular.

No, that's not the problem with For What It's Worth. The tune was recorded on 5 December 1966 but wasn't released until January 1967. Since songs can be recorded years before they're ultimately released, KissingWillie very properly phrased this list as being one for songs released in 1966. Therefore Zombeels in effect jumped the gun.

Now I would have no problem with Hodad's example of a tune released late in 1966 that ended up hitting big on the charts in 1967 showing up on the list for either year. But once it's grandfathered on the earlier list, I don't think it should be eligible for the following year as well.

For What It's Worth though made the 1966 list by mistake. It was released in 1967, made its splash on the charts in 1967 and therefore belongs on the 1967 list.

For What It's Worth was released on December 23, 1966. I did not make a mistake. It belongs on the 1966 list.

Nope.

For What It's Worth is a song written by Stephen Stills. It was performed by Buffalo Springfield, recorded on December 5, 1966, and released as a single in January 1967; it was later added to the re-release of their first album, Buffalo Springfield. The single peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This song is currently ranked #63 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time as well as the eighth best song of 1967 by Acclaimed Music.

And you are wrong. Check Acclaimed. They have the song listed in 1966.

Rateyourmusic, Discogs, Songfacts, Ultimate Classic Rock, AMG and Acclaimed all have it listed at 1966.

It does say 1966, and I also a few other songs on the 1967 list, also listed for 1966.

[Zombeels]

I do lists for Acclaimed and they jump all over me when I put a wrong release date. Discogs is supposed to be the most reliable site for release dates.

Discogs also says 1966. Things can be added and corrected on Wikipedia. I've done it before, but it was for horse related information.

If a song was released in 1966, but didn't hit the charts until 1967 and wasn't nominated for our 1966 strip, I'd say it's still eligible for the 1967 strip.

I have no problem with people having an issue with a list entry, a dispute can be interesting and educational. The question is who has the right to remove the song from the list? This is the order IMO:

1. The poster. Present the facts to the poster and give that person the option of keeping or removing the song.

2. The OP of the thread if the poster doesn't respond or if the song blatantly violates the rules and the poster refuses to remove it.

3. Admin staff always gets the final say in a dispute.

4. Wait for the strip list and remove the song if you don't think it belongs on the list.

I guess I feel that if it's right on the line and the poster didn't do it on purpose, it should just be left alone, as not to stall the game. After all, it is just a game. I see a few songs on the 1967 list that are 1966 songs, but it's no big deal to me. That's just my opinion.
