Hmmmm

Well the KINKS had quite a few but I'll only have 2

1. Dedicated Follower of Fashion = The KINKS (Ray Davies' best at observing life, fads and it is timeless plus the music is kept to a soft undertone very steady and strong though.)

2. Ruby Tuesday = The Stones (The instruments used and the timing of the song.... it's by far the best song the Stones ever did musically... plus it was written by Brian Jones one of his only credited songs)

3. Southern Cross = CSNY simply put CSNY at their musical best and imaginitive

4. Imagine = LENNON extremely potent lyrics, musically well done as it is subtle but catchy enough to pay attention if the lyrics don't grab you at first.

5. For What It's Worth = Buffalo Springfield great guitar that catches your ear, a bass line that stays steady and sure so that the ping in the guitar stands out that much stronger, and lyrics that grab you, shake you and make you pay attention...... 40 years later and it is every bit as relevant as the day it was written... perhaps even moreso

6. LOLA = The KINKS what can one say..... Ray Davies at his geniusly best this is just the creme de la creme of his work that proves the KINKS are the greatest ever.

7. My Way = Frank Sinatra if you don't choke up even in the slightest during this song you ain't human, the music just pulls you into the mood of the song... from the sad beginning to middle coming in with the violins and slight piano.... then BAM the crescendo where Frankie's voice grits it out and almost yells that he has nothing to be ashamed of in his life then back to just grabbing you with smoothness "oh no not me... I did it my way" and then POW BAM with right uppercut-left hook-right hook-left straight to the jaw combos for the knockout........when he hits "What is a man... what has he got, if not his word than he has not....." and the way the music just leads AND follows just fuckin powerful timeless and FRANKIE 100%

8. Baby Elephant Walk = Henry fuckin' Mancini.... name a catchier and more fun piece of music, repetitive yes....but damn it just makes ya smile and feel good

9. Working Class Hero = John Lennon his steady guitar as his voice just comes at you and lets you feel his pain and shows he can empathize with yours..... the pain in his voice just so grabbing and the pain in his guitar it is crying .... Green Day's cover proves that adding anything other than just that simple guitar and Lennon's voice is a crime and bastardizing the song

10. Wipeout = the Ventures who can deny it is one if not the catchiest rock instrumentals ever and one of the strongest it just makes ya feel good and alive........

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
