What? No "Crystal Blue Persuasion" from Tommy James & Shondells? That would've been my first choice.

As for Sly & The Family Stone, I would've chosen "Everyday People", but that ain't on the list either. :-\\ But the song you did list is fine.

I cannot decide which ones to vote for at the moment. :-\\

Yes, I have limited the song listings because it can take forever if I were to list all the songs from just one particular year.

This was the 1st year I really started listening to pop music. My faves from 1969 are:

Beatles - Here comes the sun
B.J. Thomas-Raindrops keep falling on my head
Fifth Dimension -Aquarius/let the sunshine in
Beatles - Something

From your list, B.J. Thomas-Raindrops keep falling on my head is my favorite

I've decided to always pick 5 from your list and then list my own 'other' favourites...

The 5 from your list are:

Sugar, Sugar----The Archies
The Boxer----Simon and Garfunkel
He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother----The Hollies
I Can Hear Music----The Beach Boys
Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head----B.J. Thomas

My actual top 10 list from that year would be: Not very cool...but I don't care... :P  ;)

Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In - The 5th Dimension
First of May - The Bee Gees
Goodbye - Mary Hopkin
He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother - The Hollies
Hooked On A Feeling - B.J. Thomas
I Started a Joke - The Bee Gees
Melting Pot - Blue Mink
Something/Come Together - The Beatles
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes - Crosby, Stills & Nash (my fabourite for that year)
Sugar, Sugar - The Archies

I like your list, but never heard of "Melting Pot" . I must check that out.

I understand. And it can get tedious. Especially when there are lots of songs that came out in a particular year (as there often are).

It's one of the iconic songs of that era...

Because I was only 9 at that time (and that rhyme's)....I stil;l liked a lot of the 'bubble gum' type songs like...Indian Giver, Sugar Sugar etc.  :)

Oh ....and I accidentally left out David Bowies - Space Oddity and The Hollies - I'm Sorry Suzanne. I really liked those songs...

I like the bubble gum songs too, and I was 9 upside down ( 6) , but I never head of melting pot. Will try to find on youtube or somewhere.

It was one of those late 60's 'peace movement' ..... racial integration songs.  The chorus may be familiar to you... :-\\

Thanks. First time I ever heard it.

I assumed that they were an American band....but the were British and the song was a number 3 hit in the UK. Australia tended to get music from both UK and North America. I guess we were lucky...

They sounded like an American band. Usually in Canada we got to hear lots of bands from the UK...but I guess not this one.
