Jill's choice is the final year of the sixties. Make your selections, and post them here, with a youtube link if possible. They'll go in a poll later in the week and we'll vote for the best. To get us back on track with Monday starts/Sunday finishes, this game will be either half a week longer or shorter, depending on how quickly the songs are posted.

Go.

One of my favourite songs ever and also a reason to hate Paul Weller.

My choice:



Frank Sinatra - My Way - Release: Apr 1969 - Chart High: 5

Always liked this song, didn't care much for the Sid Vicious version though.

In a year where Led Zep was rife in the charts, it may surprise some people here that i'm going for this, but it's such an amazing song, I had to.

I love good vocals, this was a great year for that. However, one stands out vocally head and shoulders above all others - Zoot wins.

The more I listen to the Beatles, the more I think George did the best songs - never mind Lennon & McCartney!

The Beatles - Something



Love how McCartney now does this as part of his tour as well. Wonderful tribute to a friend.

Was tempted by David Bowie with Space Oddity, and Simon and Garfunkel with Please Mrs Robinson, but in the end had to go for this classic:
