Ronettes, always and 4ever

needles and pins

and still they begin-ah
needles and pins-ah

a young mark e smith taking furious notes

"Surf City"

"Surf City" and "7 & 7 Is", two of the best songs ever

needles and pins

and still they begin-ah
needles and pins-ah

a young mark e smith taking furious notes

and taking "Popcorn Double Feature"

"Indian Giver" is one of the greatest recordings of all time

chambers brothers (the dead moon version of this song is also excellent)

Spotify playlist featuring all but two tracks (Tom Waits, Max Frost & the Troopers): http://open.spotify.com/user/nstewart/playlist/513QzNggheA9ZgrPq9HHkr

"Shape of Things to Come

Protest vote for Bobby Freeman's "Do You Wanna Dance." From what's there, I'm surprised to say that there are a bunch of songs I like but not one that I love (or am not tired of).

I was going to say, no "Do You Wanna Dance" and no "Have You Ever Seen The Rain"!

Still, prob going w/ Surf City.

Oh wait, Beach Boys but no Bobby Freeman. Didn't see their version on there. Poor Bobby.

"Do You Wanna Dance" is on there, but by the Beach Boys. I even prefer the Mamas and Papas' (great) version.

Ronettes, always and 4ever

But I also have to give a nod to the entire radiohead catalog v. surfin bird

Also, Cliff's "DYW2D" predates the BB's.

Would've voted "Substitute" (likely $$$$ to license for a comp), went with the Trashmen.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"Indian Giver" without a doubt.

Are we voting for the original songs here, or the Ramones' covers of them? In either case, the answer is "California Sun," but I'm just curious.

Ronettes. Come on.

Really wanted to vote for Ronettes but that's far from their best song. 1969, now we're talking.

Protest vote for Bobby Freeman's "Do You Wanna Dance."

yeah wtf at including the Beach Boys version (which is great, but... it's a cover!)

Are we voting for the original songs here, or the Ramones' covers of them?

I have the same question

Are we voting for the original songs here, or the Ramones' covers of them? In either case, the answer is "California Sun," but I'm just curious.
