I wouldn't call any of these songs obscure.
"This Old Heart of Mine" OH YEAH. "Knock on Wood" another important omission, but it's still a very strong list. "Pushin' Too Hard" isn't here either. There aren't that many songs I can quibble with the inclusion of (whether I love them or not), although I don't get how "Friday on my Mind" made this list, that just seems like a pretty typical rave-up next to something like, oh, "Bus Stop" by the Hollies (missing).
Also, I favor the cool short songs on Blonde on Blonde like "Sooner or Later" & "Most Likely You Go Your Way" to the long snoozers on the list.

Ah, I should have expected 'God Only Knows' would take this.

the lone vote for "Psychotic Reaction". Not quite as psychotic as 1966's "Mirror of Your Mind" by We The People
Mirror of Your Mind is one of those records like Slade's "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" - that have done serious longterm damage to my eardrums

I ended up voting Walk Away Renee but now I'm thinking maybe I should have given the Spencer Davis Group some lovin'
