Les R. Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 OK, this is another "list" thread, and will require some effort, but it's fun! Focusing on the Classic Hits era (1964-89) or any portion thereof, what is your favorite song from each year? I found 1976-1978 were so very difficult to choose. But in the 2000s, half the years I've had trouble finding even one song I like a lot (as indicated by lower case lettering). And Eric, we would LOVE to see your list!!! So this would be a WONderful place for you to just jump back onto the board. ** (Hint, Hint!) **1955 HE, Al Hibbler1956 A ROSE AND A BABY RUTH, George Hamilton IV1957 DIANA, Paul Anka 1958 DEVOTED TO YOU, Everly Brothers 1959 SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES, Platters1960 EVERYBODY'S SOMEBODY'S FOOL, Connie Francis1961 TRAVELIN' MAN, Ricky Nelson1962 CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE, Elvis Presley1963 THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES, Bobby Vee1964 BECAUSE, Dave Clark Five1965 EIGHT DAYS A WEEK, The Beatles1966 WHAT BECOMES OF THE BROKEN HEARTED, Jimmy Ruffin1967 INCENSE & PEPPERMINTS, Strawberry Alarm Clock1968 AIN'T NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING, Marvin Gaye & T.

LC Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Tough assignment, Les! I might have to do this in 10-year increments. You must have used Top 100 singles charts as a starting point. I'd have a lot of stuff that would be off the charts, so to speak. (I'd have an easier time picking a favorite album every year :-!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I'd have to look at a Singles chart to remember tunes from years gone by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
