I have to abstain from this one.

I can see the electoral college fucking this whole thing up anyway.

a handful of good ones there, I went with Everleys. just above ELO & Stones
A rare hoypista. Except I'm not big on ELO/Stones. Everleys beat out Monkees in my book.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

If only it was the Freddy version, All I Have To Do Is Dream would be running away with this.

Is Telstar the band? Or is it the Tornados? Why is this song almost winning? Weird, you'd think I'd know this song from my dad indoctrinating me on oldies my entire childhood (hence the Everlys vote). This song is quite cool.

Tornadoes is the band, Telstar (originally written by the legendary, homicidal Joe meek) was a weird, amazing hit back in the day. Just the strangers and danger of rock all in a catchy, off kilter package.

Gotta be "Telstar" for me. I quite like The Monkees track but boy is it overplayed and over used.

I really like The Stones track also.
