Reminder this is due on August 19th! I already got a list from singingrulebritannia, the resident first submission on every rankdown lol. Honorable Mention #1: The Kinks - "You Really Got Me"Such a great and catchy song. Simply harmless fun and it just barely missed the list.

Exactly one month away from the deadline! Honorable Mention #2: Aretha Franklin - "Respect"The ultimate popular pick. Perhaps too popular, so I choose another one of Aretha's classic for this rankdown.

This is a great idea of a Rankdown to share our viewpoints and appreciation to classics of classics —and to learn more in the process! I’m familiar with about half of the list, and I’ll happily listen to other half with full attention. Count me in!

A little more than 3 weeks left from the deadline! Got list from Red and wrip in the past week Honorable Mention #3: Ray Charles - "What'd I Say"A masterpiece from the musical genius. The piano is exquisite. The reason i left it off this rankdown is because it appeared on another recent rankdown.

Now we're exactly 3 weeks away from the deadline! We're still on 3 lists so keep em coming! Honorable Mention #4: The Beatles - "Here Comes The Sun"Many contenders for a song to represent The Beatles with. The beauty in this one in particular is undeniable. In hindsight, a 60s playlist without The Beatles may seem incomplete but the 30 songs I choose have more special style for me personally.

A little more than 2 weeks left from the deadline! @humanshazam and alexcuse sent and now we're up to 5 lists! Honorable Mention #5: The Chiffons - "One Fine Day"SHOO-BE-DOO BE-DOO BE-DOO BOP POP. A sweet little love song this is. 60s girl group is where it's at. Even though this song didn't make the Rankdown, they already have their rightful representation from the Vandellas, Crystals, Shirelles, Shangri-las, and Supremes!

Reminder this rankdown is due in exactly 2 weeks. Got a list from Soulsista and now we're already at 6 lists Honorable Mention #6: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrel - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"Possibly the best duet ever? Their vocal performances are gorgeous!

We are now less than 6 days away from the deadline! Thanks to American Idiot we are now up to 8 lists. Honorable Mention #8: Little Eva - "The Loco-motion"Simple-structured, a little cheesy but all in all they're fun and enjoyable. That's 60s pop music for you. Always have a soft spot for this one.

We still have 4 more days before the deadline! With @trilogy's and BB🌕's lists we are now 10 lists Honorable Mention #9: Ritchie Valens - "We Belong Together""La Bamba" is the more iconic hit but my personal preference is always for this song. Great little tune.

2 days until the deadline! Beno's list added to the participant count and now we have 11 lists! Honorable Mention #11: The Everly Brothers - "All I Have To Do Is Dream"This probably sounds dated today to some people but it's still a damn haunting song for me.

Only 21 hours left until the submission is closed! Thanks to samo🦕, aerodynamite, willapted33, fearlessarrow, and aerodynamite, now we have 16 lists! This also means I probably won't have to extend the deadline because I already exceed my personal target. I will allow late submission but there will be no more than one day to send after submission is closed.

I feel like it’s really hard to guess these since there’s so many good songs but here we go: 1. I could see Think, My Girl, Put Your Head On My Shoulder, You Keep Me Hanging On being top five possibly. 2. I genuinely have no clue. 3. Highest could be something like Elvis or something. Lowest could be a lot of songs, I’m just going to randomly guess Somethin’ Stupid, will probably be extremely wrong though. 4. I don’t think I see my #1 going too far, but if it escapes bottom ten that would be cool!

1. What songs do you think will be in the Top 5? What song will be #1? -- I...genuinely don't know. I feel like the women will have the best chance of getting to the top, particularly The Supremes and Aretha (I think one of those two wins), though I hope The Shirelles get close. I'm doubtful, but fingers crossed. I like wrip's prediction of "My Girl", that doesn't seem like a song that a lot of people would dislike. "Wouldn't It Be Nice", but that depends on how deep the tank is. It's probably too much to keep it from making the top five. Maybe "At Last"?
2. What songs do you think will be in the Bottom 5? What song will be #30? -- I don't feel confident about any song making the bottom five, outside of, maybe, "That's Amore". Anything after that is guesswork.
3. What song do you think has the highest SD? Lowest SD? -- I feel like "That's Amore" has a really good shout at lowest, just because I'm not sure who exactly would boost it. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is a mortal lock for a high SD. It's preordained. "Runaway" might have a high SD, too.
4. Any other prediction? About your #1 or your #30? -- The only thing I'll say about my #1 is that it probably won't be bottom ten. Probably. I really hope my #30 doesn't last a while, that's the only song here I don't really care for, but I fear it could.
