I dunno why, but I was pleasantly surprised to see folks mention country artists like Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Alabama, and Patsy Cline. All great artists!

 

I also discovered a couple bands that I'm going to check out. Just goes to show how much music plays into our lives (pun intended). Great topic!

[Mo Mason]

And my list ain't complete without Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain."

 

My list isn't complete without this one, either. It's my favorite song, perhaps of all time...

[Mo Mason]

Moody Blues.

 

My pick as well. I'm pretty sure "Nights in White Satin" was the first song I ever heard by The Moody Blues, and I've been in love with them since high school. I would easily say "Days of Future Passed" is my favorite album, ever.

Or anything by CCR, really.

Notice how none of them is Diana Ross? She had the personality; they had the chops.

The Archies Sugar Sugar i dare you to listen all the way through and then try to get the tune out of your head.

I remember SUGAR SUGAR battling it out with AQUARIAS for the #1 song of 1969.

 

This is a list of Billboard magazine's Top Hot 100 songs of 1969.

 

№ Title Artist(s)

1 "Sugar, Sugar" The Archies

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

3 "I Can't Get Next to You" The Temptations

4 "Honky Tonk Women" The Rolling Stones

5 "Everyday People" Sly and the Family Stone

6 "Dizzy" Tommy Roe

Dizzy is the first record I ever bought. It skipped. I had to return it to the variety store across the street SIX TIMES before I got a copy that worked, which I probably still have in a closet somewhere. Between my sister and I, we had about half the top 100 that year. I turned 7 that August, she was 10.

Who else would notice, whilst checking out at the supermarket at 1AM, that Jingle Jangle (The Archies’ follow-up single to Sugar Sugar) was playing in the background? The cashier didn’t seem to recognize it. Go figure!
