Hated Aquarius. And I could come up with a lot better Beach Boys songs than Barbara Ann. Would have added Like a Rolling Stone by Dylan and Satisfaction by the Stones.
That reminds me, I forgot to list the NYC top 10 from 2/24/65:
1 6 EIGHT DAYS A WEEK - The Beatles 2 2 THIS DIAMONG RING - Gary Lewis & The Playboys 3 3 DOWNTOWN - Petula Clark 4 4 MY GIRL - The Temptations 5 1 THE NAME GAME - Shirley Ellis 6 5 YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVIN’ FEELIN’ - The Righteous Brothers 7 11 STOP! IN THE NAME OF LOVE - The Supremes 8 19 GOLDFINGER - Shirley Bassey 9 8 THE BOY FROM NEW YORK CITY - The Ad Libs 10 9 HURT SO BAD - Little Anthony & The Imperials
Beach Boys? I like their version of Barbara Ann a lot but wouldn't pick it as a favorite. I'd go with Help Me Rhonda or I Get Around or ....
My kids (oldest is 22; twins are almost 17) know at least 13 of these by heart--especially all the Beatles music--because they grew up in a house with (older) boomer parents who listen to that music all the time. Sixties music is part of our family's DNA.

Love all these songs! The Sixties had some great music!
I miss the old days.

Too bad WCBS-FM doesn't practice what they preach, since they've moved more and more to the '70s and'80s music.

A couple I would have taken off, agree with Steve on a Beach Boys selection, Dylan, Stones.
