Your #9 is my #1...Yay! What a great song.

indeed, i have a feeling that'll definitely make my top 10.

anyone who doesn't have "A Change is Gonna Come" in their top 10 just doesn't just doesn't have a soul as far as I can tell.

I'm game.


Also have a question. One of the best things I enjoy about songs from the 60's is the "side 2 medley" on Abbey Road. Can we count that as one song?

if you want, i'm not worried.

Ive been meaning to listen to Sam Cooke, havent got around to it though, so he wont be in mine.

Im going to fish through all my records and CD's right now to make my list, gonna be a huge pain in the ass, can't wait!

You have one song listed twice at #63 and #70.

Here's my list complete with 200 songs.

woops, hah, thanks for pointing that mistake out to me. Like I said, i was just kinda blabbing things down to give people some ideas.

I'll give your list a look now. can't wait.

I started with a list of 129, and Ive began ranking them. I should be done tonight, so I can post tommorow. So far my top 5 are:

The Ronnettes- "Be My Baby"
Dick Dale- "Miserlou
The Beach Boys- "Wouldn't It Be Nice"
Jimi Hendrix- "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)"
The Beach Boys- "Surf's Up (Solo Piano version)

To make my list I listed like 130-140 songs, went down the line as to which one was better than which, and got this. The results even surprised me, since I never really think about which songs I like in what order. This is the closest to satisfyed Ill ever get, since I would spend days switching over and adding then removing songs as they come into my head, something like this is very fluid, which its why its tough to make it a solid.
