18 697 Sam Cooke - Shake
Funny, this was a top ten hit, but I don't remember hearing it much or at all during my years of listening to oldies radio and such. I know the Otis Redding version better.

Voting "My Girl" over, gosh, "Don't Worry Baby" and "I Feel Fine" and lots of others.

the best part of that Top 100 list is that there is a "Bubbling Under the Hot 100" section." there was so much good music coming out that they needed to add an extra 35 slots.

"Don't Worry Baby" is such an amazing song - it's all about car racing, and yet it's so not about car racing. It pains me I can't vote for it.

Re: "antique stuff" just think: if ilx had existed in 1964 they would have been polling the top songs of 1914 at this point.

Stabbing was a fairly common sign of critical approval in '64 IIRC.

"A Change is Gonna Come" may be the most absurdly great song ever relegated to the B side of a single
