Posted May 13, 200520 yr This thread may have run before, but what's your single favourite pop record from the 60's? I know, it's hard to narrow down to one (or two!) but makes for better reading than endless lists (IMHO) Here's your starter from the Day household.... Alone Again Or - Love My fave. Bloody beautiful melody, stunning arrangement, a perfect record from first note to the last. Edited May 13, 200520 yr by Dayo
May 13, 200520 yr Lovin' Spoonful - Do you believe in magic - one of the best Pop records ever made. Bugger, I'll be singing it all night now
