For me the Vogues, Kinks and Animals were the main attractions of this poll and were my main votes. Of course there were the Fab Four, and while the Mamas and Papas, Tommy James, New Vaudeville Band also got my vote, these latter ones were featured on the American polls. Too bad The Kinks never had a #1 song south of the border. ---

I voted for these songs: We Can Work It Out As Tears Go By Nowhere Man Paint It Black Sweet Talkin’ Guy I Saw Her Again If I had to pick just one, it would be “Paint It Black,” but “I Saw Her Again” definitely gives it a run for its money. ---

_Paint It, Black Bus Stop Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby_ The first one is perhaps the only **Stones** song that I really like. That and _Angie_. _Eleanor Rigby_ is such a wonderful song that it makes the balance with the rather poor _Yellow Submarine_ positive. And _Bus Stop_ is a song that I only discovered, incredibly, in the past 12 months or so. Loved it instantly. Its charm might wear off in the future but for the moment, I was almost tempted to vote for it only. ---

I forgot to include “Yellow Submarine/Elanor Rigby” in my vote (mostly for the latter). “Sweet Pea” is dead-ass last. ---

I forgot to vote for “Magic Town”, I only discovered it yesterday and man, what a great song! Judging by that and “Five O’clock World”, The Vogues seemed to be pretty good.
