those are my top 3 too, but i'd make "come together" #3 and bump the other two up.
("crimson and clover" is one of my favorite songs ever, but i think it took joan jett to realize its full potential.)

The "50 Worst Records of All Time" guys were right: Stupidest thing about "2525" is when they exhaust all the rhymes for "five" and are forced to use 7510.
Like Alfred, I'll take FYC's "Suspicious Minds" over the King's. Frankly I've never known why it's considered one of his greats, it could practically be anyone's unremarkable voice among the doubletracked harmony and background singers.
Voted "Wedding Bell Blues", with Sly and the Archies coming close.

How would one decide that "Come Together" should be on this list and not "Something"?

Great list. I went with the Tempts, but it's good to see the love for "Suspicious Minds." I could just as easily have voted for that, Tommy James, Sly, or the Stones.

(Something is waaaaaay better than Come Together btw, and I probably would've voted for it over Everyday People too)
Am I the only "Leaving On A Jet Plane" lover??

Fantastic year for #1s--all that's missing is CCR, who I think had a few #2s that year. Anyway...1. "Wedding Bell Blues"2. "Crimson and Clover"3. "Dizzy"4. "Everyday People"5. "Leaving on a Jet Plane"6. "Someday We'll Be Together"The top three are almost dead even. The Rolling Stones, Elvis, and Archies records are great, but I'm a little tired of all three. The Beatles check in near the bottom with Steam and Henry Mancini!

Get Back is really not that great a song

PP, on double a-sides I've taken the first listed. I've been consistent about this.
