GROUP A

 

 

"Sold To The Highest Bidder" by Electric Prunes

vs

"Build me up Buttercup" by The Foundations - Love this song. Have it on my Ipod and I'll admit I sing along to it still.

 

 

"Ring Of Fire" by Johnny Cash Possibly my favorite Johnny Cash song.

vs

"Psycho" by The Sonics

 

 

"8 Miles High" by the Byrds

vs

"Venus" by Shocking Blue I'm hoping this is "I'm your Venus, I'm your fire what's your desire?" Or I just voted for the wrong song.

 

 

"I Can't Explain" by The Who

vs

"Respect" by Aretha Franklin sockittomesockittomesockittomesockittomesockittome

 

 

"Hang On Sloopy" by The McCoys

vs

"Return to Sender" by Elvis Presley A decent Elvis song, and I never cared for Hang on Sloopy. Although as a kid I thought they were saying hang on Snoopy, and I liked that.

 

 

"Itchycoo Park" byThe Small Faces

vs

"Cupid" by Sam CookeThere was a homeless guy near my dorm at UW that used to sing this. Pretty well too. And he'd shake his coin cup to the beat.

 

 

"Sunshine Of Your Love" by CreamPossibly the only Cream song I could name, but it's a favorite of mine.

vs

"Hair" by The Cowsills

 

 

"Suspicious Minds" by Elvis Presley

vs

"She's Not There" by The ZombiesNot as good as the Santana version, but close.

 

 

"The House Of The Rising Sun" by the Animals

vs

"Try a Little Tenderness" by Otis Redding I just never cared for house of the rising sun.

 

 

"Remember (Walkin' In The Sand)" by The Shangri-Las

vs

"Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkle Depressing song. But I don't know the other song.

 

 

"Bonnie and Clyde" by Serge Gainsbourg & Brigitte Bardot

vs

"Are You Lonesome Tonight?" by Elvis PresleyDepressing song. But I don't know the other song

 

 

"She Loves You" by The BeatlesOne of my favorite Beatles songs.

vs

"Handy Man" by Jimmy Jones

 

 

"I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin GayeWhat, no California Raisens version?

vs

"Waterloo Sunset" by The Kinks

 

 

"Incense and Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock

vs

"Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob DylanI prefer the Byrds cover.

 

 

"Good Vibrations" by Beach BoysClassic Beach Boys song. That cover on the Sunkist website by Gym Class Heroes is one of the worst things I've ever heard.

vs

"Monkey Man" by The Rolling Stones

 

 

"Under the Boardwalk" by The DriftersAlways makes me think of Monopoly.

vs

"Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash

 

 

 

GROUP B

 

 

"Eight Days A Week" by The BeatlesAnother Beatles one I like, and I'm not a big Jan and Dean fan.

vs

"Surf City" by Jan and Dean

 

 

"Dance to the Music" by Sly & the Family Stone Don't know the other song.

vs

"Alone Again Or" by Love

 

 

"Unchain My Heart" by Ray Charles

vs

"My Way" by Frank SinatraRay vs Frank in the first round? Ouch. Narrow win to Frank.

 

 

"Hey Jude" by The Beatles

vs

"Crying" by Roy OrbisonI never understoof all of the Hey Jude love.

 

 

"It Ain't Me Babe" by Bob Dylan

vs

"My Girl" by The TemptationsNow when I hear this song I think of the movie My Girl and McKully Culkin dying. That's a good thing.

 

 

"In Dreams" by Roy Orbison

vs

"You Really Got Me" by The KinksI got an A+ in my 9th grade English class when we did song Parodies and I turned this into Girl You Really Are a Cow. Not creative I know, but it made me laugh! (You really are big, you really are big, you really are big!) Plus turning the so I can't sleep at night line into blinded by your cellulite was genius I says!

 

 

"For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield

vs

"Dazed and Confused" by Led Zeppelin For What It's Worth sounds familer, but I just can't think of what song that is.

 

 

"Sloop John B" by Beach Boys

vs

"Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater RevivalNot my favorite CCR song, but Sloop John B is one I tend to skip when it pops up on my Ipod.

 

 

"Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In" by The First Edition

vs

"I Fought The Law" by The Bobby Fuller FourDon't know the other one, and it's a good song anyway.

 

 

"A Day in the Life" by The Beatles

vs

"Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In" by the 5th Dimension

vs

"Stand By Me" by Ben E. KingI'd vote for Stand By Me over most other songs anyway, but I have always HATE HATE HATED Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In. Damn hippies. We used to tease our friends that were Aquariuses because of this stupid song.

 

 

"Tous Les Garcons et Les Filles" by Francoisie Hardy

vs

"Visions of Johanna" by Bob Dylan Don't know the other song.

 

 

"Daydream Believer" by The Monkees The Monkees vs. the Turtles? PETA will be outraged. And even though they played at Trisha Nixon's wedding, I didn't care for the Turtles, and Happy Together is played out.

vs

"Happy Together" by The Turtles

 

 

"MacArthur Park" by Richard HarrisJJF is a good Stones song, but MacArthur Park is just a purely brilliant song. And I say that with no sarcasim what so ever. Sure when I first heard the song I laughed at the lyrics about cakes melting in the rain, but after actually sitting down and listing to it I think it is just a brilliant song on every level.

vs

"Jumpin Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones

 

 

"Get Together" by The Youngbloods

vs

"Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison Supposedly about anal sex? Oh and I must have heard this song 400 times before I figured out what kind of girl he was calling her. Just could not make out "brown eyed"

 

 

"You Can't Hurry Love" by The SupremesPossibly my favorite Supremes behind I Hear a Symphony.

vs

"A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke

 

 

 

GROUP C

vs

"Hurdy Gurdy Man" by Donovan Don't know this one, but I don't like Crimson and Clover at all.

 

 

"My Generation" by The WhoBoth are decent songs, but My Generation is better.

"Heroin" by The Velvete Underground

vs

vs

"Out in the Streets" byThe Shangri Las

 

 

"Viva Las Vegas" by Elvis Presley

vs

"Reach Out, I'll Be There" by The Four TopsViva Las Vegas is just too over used. And I think the Viva Viagra ads killed it dead. I like the Four Tops too.

 

 

 

GROUP D

 

 

"Walk Away Renee" by The Left BankNot a fan of this one, but I don't know the other song, and I guess it's not the worst song ever or anything.

vs

"Venus in Furs" by The Velvet Underground

 

"Catch The Wind" by DonovanOh jesus. Catch The Wind is a bit too sappy for my wastes, but of all the songs on this list that I hate In the Year 2525 is number 1 with a bullet. Hopefully aimed at Zager and Evans. God what a pretentious pile of shit that song is. In the year 2525 man won't still be alive, and woman will not have survived, because of this shitty song.

vs

"In The Year 2525" by Zager and Evans

 

 

"I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5If the Mamas and Papas choice was Creeque Alley then they'd have my vote. But not for California Dreamin'.

vs

"California Dreamin'" " Mamas and the Papas

 

 

"Tears of a Clown" by Smokey Robinson & the MiraclesNever quite understood this song, but it's catchy.

vs

"(I Know) I'm Losing You" by The Temptations

 

 

"Green Onions" by Booker T. and the MGsReally tough choice, but Booker T and the MGs get my vote here.

"In The Midnight Hour" by Wilson Pickett

 

 

"I Was Made To Love Her" by Stevie Wonder

vs

"Turn, Turn, Turn" by The BirdsGreat, great song.

 

 

"God Bless the Child" by Blood, Sweat, & Tears

vs

"Sealed With A Kiss" by Brian Hyland

vs

"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by The Band

 

 

"Gimme Shelter" by Rolling Stones Stones > CSN

vs

"Suite/Judy Blue Eyes" by Crosby, Stills, and Nash

 

 

"Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" by James Brown

vs

"Spanish Flea" by Herb AlpertDamn, I was all ready to vote for James Brown here, as I like that song, but Spanish Flea is a guilty pleasure of mine. What a way to die, listening to Herb Alpert and the Tiauana Brass!

 

 

"Break on Through" by The Doors

vs

"Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye & Tammi TerrellDon't like the Doors, like this song. So it gets my vote.

vs

"Scarborough Fair" by Simon & Garfunkel Don't know either, so S&G get the win.

vs

"Be My Baby" by The Ronettes

 

 

"Come See About Me" by The SupremesI really wish I had remembered to nominate I hear a symphony

vs

it takes roughly the same time to type "I don't know that song" as it does to listen to a sample of it on itunes.

No sound on the computer I posted that on. If I'm on a computer where I can do that for the next round then I will.

I'm amazed that anyone doesn't like "Crimson and Clover". That's why I'm not voting in this at the moment. That's the best song of the 60s and I already know it. No question.

 

 

We should do best song of the 80s. That'd be a closer competition.
