Thanks everyone. There's still a few of our regulars I haven't seen around, but they know thay are all very welcome to vote. When you're voting, it IS important to place your Ten in Preference order because of the Points allocation, 10 for your #1, etc. I think 50 Nominations is a good round figure, so we'll close them now and start voting !

This was, for me, by far the most difficult selection. I could easily have picked 20 songs from this fabulous list!! After careful consideration, however, I have whittled it down to these 10 songs:

1. All My Loving - My favourite Beatles tune.

2. California Dreamin' - The Mamas & The Papas. IMO, the greatest folk/rock song of all time.

3. Ohio - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. One of the best protest songs of the rock era.

4. Abraham, Martin & John - Dion

5. La Grange - ZZ Top

6. S.O.S. - I'm not a big ABBA fan, but I love this song.

7. Here Comes My Baby - The Tremeloes.

8. Garden Party - Ricky Nelson

9. 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) - Simon & Garfunkel

10. Money For Nothing - Dire Straits

I would have included I Say A Little Prayer in my top 10 if it had been Dionne Warwick's version.

I have a feeling this one is going to be close - I can see Imagine and All My Loving should be near the top, but otherwise I'm not sure.

2. 96 Tears ~ ? & The Mysterians

3. 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin Groovy) ~ Simon and Garfunkel

I think you're right c s. I reckon it's between them. :)

Mockingbird and California Dreamin' could be a couple of 'smokeys'.
