yeah i couldn't vote for it but in this context it's something else - i like that 'ode to billie joe' almost plays as an aftermath to 'to sir w/ love' meets 'light my fire' - innocence yielding to death, you can almost imagine 'light my fire' being what bille joe listens to before he jumps off the tallahatchie bridge. all you need is love my ass.

I thought this was gonna be really tough but once I saw The Box Tops - The Letter I knew there could be no other choice

They're all so great (except for Billie Joe which annoys the hell out of me). My shortlist is I'm A Believer, Happy Together, Groovin, To Sir w/ Love, The Letter, and Hello, Goodbye. But after listening to them all again, and to my own surprise I have to vote for Love Is Here and Now You're Gone.

The bass is just outrageous on that.

Insanely tough call. I'm A Believer by the tiniest sliver.

This was tough. Went for "Groovin'", but I still think Fugazi should have covered "Windy".

The answer is right there in front of you all. "All You Need Is Love."

obv aretha is all-time but i'm voting "groovin'" by the young rascals cause blue-eyed soul doesn't get enough love, see also "the letter"
