Eagle eyed amongst you will have realised that Monkey Man should be 94=.

Gives me a good idea for a thread: "Songs ruined for you by horrible, horrible movies"

A lot of my picks are showing up in the early going. Sorry I didn't write any blurbs, Billy.

Wasn't the woman there in the picture his wife? Intresting poll so far BTW. Can't wait for the next segment.

I don't care if people say it's a tired old classic. If it came out today, as is, it would be my pick for song of the year. Eighty Fucking Seven Bull Shit

A few of mine already up. Woulda thought "Look of Love" and "Marie's the Name" to be higher. And "Wonderful World" at 100?? Dear me. But that's the way it goes I s'pose.

Nice job on the poll, Billy Dods. I wish more people would have voted. The 60's were the greatest.

The 60's were the greatest.

It's true.

Where did Mama Cass come, please?

i always thot that it was such a queer, complicated, heartbreaking song, from a singer who had three careers before engaging in this urban metatorch...it reminds me of all that lonely, desperate crusing that i imagined happened (and happens) in cities in cold winter nites...sundar adn i were talking about it last week, and i love clarke, because im a fag

Not sure what I'm doing wrong -- I'm logged in and everything.

I already knew VU ripped off Hitchhike. But Crimson and Clover too? Can you confirm this??

So was the albums part of the poll ever published?? Can't find it in search. I've been enjoying the 1965 albums by Them and the Sonics for the first time. I blame the non-appearance of this poll for not inspire me to do so sooner.

198 Ventures - Walk, Don't Run

Blimey. Well.

i could be blind, but a search for his name didn't bring it up...so i don't think so?

or just go to that other thread! oops sorry etc.

25. ? & The Mysterians - 96 Tears (249 points, 10 votes)

was the picture for this always some testicles?

the fact that the top TWO-HUNDRED lacks 21st Century Schizoid Man is probably the greatest crime in any of these polls ever

What?!??! LOL (xpost)

Oh man, that just killed me! "96 Tears and Two Hangers"

Pretty sure it wasn't like that in 2006.

That's the original single cover, doh! There's a reason they never became popular.

I guess we all know what a Mysterian is now.

And I guess "?" is what's between the "mysterians"...

if the mysterians are male genitalia then i guess captain scarlet...oh god, ban me

So that's why Genesis P-Orridge is such a fan of them then
