I think we've got this top 6 almost exactly right, apart from maybe swap the two Beatles tracks.

Read Sandie Shaw's autobiography recently, she seems to have an exaggerated opinion of both her talent and her signficance in the history of rock and pop.

Might be tinny '60s recordings, but to me the Dave Clark Five sound a bit like daleks.

I’d swap the Beatles shite for the other Rolling Stones track, but if we absolutely must have a Beatles song going through, then I agree I Feel Fine is the better of the two.

True but that’s bc there’s a lot of good ones.  Only 2-3 left imho that are out of their league but the rest are quite interchangeable.  Going to get interesting.

Properly distinguishing the very good Beatles song from the ok Beatles song.  Looks like the masses have done the same with the Stones.

When y’all get tired of waiting to downvote the Kinks song that is inferior to the other, let me know.

[TQR 12,133]

Congrats. Top class counting. Now kindly stop making it more of a ball ache than is necessary for the next person to copy & paste the scoreboard. W’all will make our own decisions what to vote up or down.
