For me it's "Crystal Blue Persuasion" followed by "One"

Suspicious Minds. 

Ah, c'mon Mark...be fair...one from these?

1969 - some right gems there, and no mistake...

'Proud Mary' just pipping 'Aquarius/Sunshine'...

This was a GREAT year for music!  I had a tough time choosing, but I finally went with "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In", followed by "Get Together".  8) 

Another favorite of mine from that year (though I don't see it listed) is "Everybody's Talkin'" by the late Harry Nilsson.

Hot Fun In The Summertime!

Ah, c'mon Mark...be fair...one from these?

Paul, these are the Top 20 from that year...I mixed them up a bit though. I have also posted 21-40 in order this time...take a look ;)

This is a tough one! So I'll pick from when I was 8 in 1969 I liked "Sugar Sugar", but now that I'm "all grown up" (yea right!) I'll pick "Crystal Blue Persuasion"! I love that one! :)

Let's see out of the ones listed that I actually like

Friends Of Distinction - Grazin' In The Grass
Henry Mancini & His Orch. - Love Theme From Romeo And Juliet
Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup
Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson And Clover
Three Dog Night - One
Sly & The Family Stone - Hot Fun In The Summertime

I went with
Tommy James & The Shondells - Crystal Blue Persuasion  :)

as the favorite.

Foundations - "Build Me Up Buttercup"

I went with 'One'.......but can I change it to the artist who had a hit here with it, Johnny Farnham  :-\\

Excellent version, I might add !

I didn't even have to look past "Suspicious Minds" - one of all time favs ;)

I picked Proud Mary. But I also like One, Build me up Buttercup, and yes, Sugar, Sugar.

Not a big Elvis fan, although he had tunes I do enjoy as a music lover! Suspicious Minds is one of them. All of these tunes are great. The late sixties had some great tunes.

Tanya

Tommy Roe- Dizzy

what a fun song!

Rolling Stones - Honky Tonk Women

I wish I could choose but I can't.  Too many great songs on that list to just pick one. 


Fifth Dimension - Aquarius / Let The Sunshine In
Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds
Friends Of Distinction - Grazin' In The Grass
Youngbloods - Get Together
Sly & The Family Stone - Everyday People
Henry Mancini & His Orch. - Love Theme From Romeo And Juliet
Tommy Roe - Dizzy
Tom Jones - I'll Never Fall In Love Again
Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup
Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson And Clover
Three Dog Night - One
Sly & The Family Stone - Hot Fun In The Summertime
Tommy James & The Shondells - Crystal Blue Persuasion


I have all those songs and I listen to them alot.  My favorite changes daily, so I can't really pick.

Some of my faves;

'Old Man Willow' - Elephant's Memory
'Everyday People' - Sly and the Family Stone
'Something' - Beatles
'Here Comes the Sun' - Beatles
'Everybody's Talkin'' - Harry Nilsson
'Space Oddity' - David Bowie

Of the ones listed, I'd go with "Everyday People" by Sly and the Family Stone.

He's a great guy Tommy James, although its' not his real name, he lived in North Jersey and one time his business manager accidently gave me a business check that bounced for clothing he purchased and I had to track him to correct it, he did, it was an innocent book keeping error. So I voted for him, for  sentimental reasons and I liked most of his songs too.

'Sugar, Sugar' was from 1969??  ::) Well, I guess it was the beginning of the 70s bubblegum pop phenomena

Fifth Dimension - Aquarius / Let The Sunshine In
Rolling Stones - Honky Tonk Woman
Three Dog Night - One

these are the three I probably listened to the most. We would buy 45's and play on our little phonograph. I vividly remember playing Honky Tonk Woman over and over and over.

This is a tough one! So I'll pick from when I was 8 in 1969 I liked "Sugar Sugar", but now that I'm "all grown up" (yea right!) I'll pick "Crystal Blue Persuasion"! I love that one! :)


Very tough choice but Gemini says it well for me.  I was 10 in '69 and "Sugar Sugar" was the Bubblegum hit.  As an adult, I wouldn't chosen "Crystal Blue" although it would have been a difficult choice -- so many good songs.
