Any of the noms could have made my list and in any order.

CanAm Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 This was Sooooo hard!!! I love almost all of the nominated songs and there are probably hundreds (no exaggeration) of other songs that were not nominated that would not have been out of place on this list. 1. Venus - Shocking Blue 2. California Dreamin' - The Mamas & The Papas 3. Fortunate Son - C.C.R. (This isn't even my favourite song by this group, but I thought it was so representative of the political atmosphere of the late 1960's). 4. In My Life - The Beatles 5. Get Together - The Youngbloods 6. Mrs. Robinson - Simon & Garfunkel 7. Somebody To Love - Jefferson Airplane 8. Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys 9. Crimson & Clover - Tommy James & The Shondells 10. Yesterday - The Beatles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
