I was rooting for this so hard. I didn't want a perfecto here. :(
2 vs. 9
If anything, I think my 9's going to win now. I don't know who the hell would rank it low.

I didn't want a perfecto here. :( Really, though, "My Girl" is great. I wouldn't have ranked it over Roy if it wasn't great. I would completely understand if you don't host another one of these, Sambalada...but please do. Please.

Amazing top 5! Anyone would be a great winner in any RD, so let the best voted win! 5. House Of The Rising Sun (1): This is one of my favorite songs ever. And it really was a song ahead of its time. The instrumental and production are much more 70s than early 60s. The vocals are strong as they can be, with lot of soul, attitude, power. Great melody and strong lyrics, too. It's all compactly packed gem of a rock / soul song. It's worth mentioning that Hailey Reinhart's cover of this song is one of the best American Idol performances ever, too. 4. Think (5): Another great classic, with strong melody and instrumental, and of course Aretha's superb vocals and great vocal harmonies. One of my favorite songs by Aretha! 3. Wouldn't It Be Nice? (9): Another forward-looking song, in terms of complex instrumental, layered vocals, dynamic production, and very strong melody. Personally, I like Good Vibrations more, and a couple other songs, but this is a pretty good song, too. 2. You Keep Me Hangin' On (10): I changed my ranking of this song several times, oscillating between 5-12, so no complain at seeing this at #2. Another timeless classic. Great melody, vocals, instrumental, production. What's particularly interesting to me is that this has had several great covers. including the solid rocker version from Vanilla Fudge and the catchy synthpop from Kim Wilde. 1. My Girl (8): This is another amazing, timeless song, with astounding vocals and harmonies that are perfectly accompanied by a lush production. Listening to this gem gives you the feelings!!! Despite my ranking, I'm happy to see this atop. Thanks a lot, Sambalada for leading a great RD with an astounding list of classics. Look forward to your next one!!!

"You Keep Me Hangin' On" is a major jam--I sent it for a PAR roadblock so, that much is obvious. What I find peculiar is how it's become the de facto The Supremes track in Pulse games, since in the GP's eyes it's arguably not even among their 5 most famous songs lol
"My Girl" is one of the rare songs I would not change a single thing about, and an instant pick-me-up type of listen

I do wish I had found the time to participate in the rankdown as I dang near love each and every one the songs featured. For the record at least here is what my top five would've looked liked: 1. Patsy Cline - I Fall To Pieces 2. Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman 3. The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody 4. Elvis Presley - Blue Suede Shoes 5. The Temptations - My Girl Favorite live performance: Favorite covers: "Runaway" - The Cox Family "Unchained Melody" - LeAnn Rimes Thanks for hosting this, Sambalada !
