Ok, so this is the kind of list that will change on an almost daily basis for me but at this point in time it goes something like this;
1. Happy Together: The Turtles
2. Wuthering Heights: Kate Bush
3. Great Hosannah: Kula Shaker
4. Itchycoo Park: Small Faces
5. Saucy Sailor: Steeleye Span (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxXhA88ru0A)
But I feel a little uncomfortable posting this as I know in a few minutes from now I'll be kicking myself for omitting a whole host of other momentous tunes!
This is the time and this is the time and it is time, time, time, time, time, time, time.....

I guess if you guys have the guts to make a list...well here goes.
1)She Said She Said The Beatles
2)Satisfaction The Rolling Stones
3)For What It's Worth Buffalo Springfield
4)For A Spanish Guitar Gene Clark
5)God Only Knows Brian Wilson & The Beach Boys
Have I done wrong by you Neil Young, Mr Buckley, Marvyn Gaye, Judee Sill, Laura Nyro, Janis Ian, Joni Mitchell, Moody Blues..WHO...oh crap--Mr LEE!---well, he fills the top...oh well!!
For A Spanish Guitar.....just perfect...Gene's inner language is timeless with such depth and insight....

| A great, great song, LK...and also one of my all time favourites. I wonder just how few songwriters can also genuinely lay claim to actually being a poet. Dylan, Cohen and Paul Simon certainly....but for me, Gene would definitely be in there as well. |
