Re: AMF Favorite Songs of the 1960s - RESULTS

What an amazing presentation, Schüttelbirne! I appreciated your comments regarding my personal favorite, "Nights in White Satin." (I really should've at least commented on that one. I spend so much time writing in my spare time, though, it's difficult for me to write about music, as well.)...

Odd that I've known all 11 songs so far. (I think about 60% of the Biggest Fan songs were new to me in the 1st edition.) I'm sure it'll balance out, but it's definitely a surprise given that all of these songs only made 1 list.
