My gut says George Jones. Going with the gut.

1. "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now," 2. "For Your Love," 3. Chiffons, 4. "Liar, Liar." This may be the one time I vote for a disco song--a couple of others would have a chance if they're in the book, but it'll depend on their placement. Big assist to P.T. Anderson.

Welcome to the Boomtown.

"The Boxer." I still have no idea what it's about.

― Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 23 August 2009 03:36 (sixteen years ago)

McFadden, Fats, Supremes, S&G, George Jones, D&D and Yardbirds.

― jetfan, Sunday, 23 August 2009 04:25 (sixteen years ago)

So so so Supremes.

― irreconcilable aesthetic criteria (Eric H.), Sunday, 23 August 2009 04:45 (sixteen years ago)

So so so George Jones (even though that's my fave Supremes).

Tempted to go with the Beach Boys, weirdly enough, but I'll stick with Dion instead. Least exciting list of the last few, I'd say.

― xhuxk, Sunday, 23 August 2009 05:12 (sixteen years ago)

Ike and Tina Turner, "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" is fantastic and gets my vote.

― afternoon "delight" (Euler), Sunday, 23 August 2009 05:35 (sixteen years ago)

"Wendy" for me.

― Dan S, Sunday, 23 August 2009 06:04 (sixteen years ago)

"You Keep Me Hangin' On" over "I'm Walkin'" over "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" over "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" over Aretha's "Don't Play That Song"

― Matos W.K., Sunday, 23 August 2009 06:24 (sixteen years ago)

1) Can't Get Next to You 2) Leavin' Here 3) Ain't No Stoppin... was Wendy ever a single?

― ρεμπετις, Sunday, 23 August 2009 06:47 (sixteen years ago)

811 1965 Chiffons Nobody knows what's goin' on (in my mind but me)

― Samuel (a hoy hoy), Sunday, 23 August 2009 07:50 (sixteen years ago)

Was too lazy to vote this time (actually, I think I've only voted in two of these things), but pretty much a 3-way tie for me between McFadden & Whitehead, Yardbirds, and Paul Revere & the Raiders (the last one largely for sentimental reasons, as it's a memorable cut on one of the very first LPs I obsessed over as a kid).
