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.

Lovin' Spoonful - Do you believe in magic - one of the best Pop records ever made.

Bugger, I'll be singing it all night now

Joe Dolan - Make me an Island

Andy Williams - Cant get used to losing you

Nashee...The beat ballad junkie

Pet Sounds is a great shout, what an album.

Would have had Itchycoo Park but Ged had already been there so will go for either Waterloo Sunset or Street Fighting Man.

Alison, my friend swears by this record ! It's got everything a thinking man's pop record should have - this is the best choice of out and out pop on this thread

Also can I put forward Lovin Spoonful "darling be home "

Good call John. I used to fancy Venus like mad when I was a young boy (until Dianna Rigg came along...)

However, I have to go for:

Group X - "There are 8 Million Cossack Melodies - and this is one of them" Fontana 1963

Godz
