I abstain on the first match up.

For the rest:

“Oh, Pretty Woman” Roy Orbison

“Light My Fire” The Doors. (I never got the appeal of The Righteous Brothers.)

Finally, it is incredibly tough, but I choose “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In.”

[OrangeHoof]

I’m a big Roy Orbison fan but 2 of the Top 4? And no Beatles?
