This is so subjective to render any such poll just about entirely useless. Also, there is difference between "best song" and best record". Songs should stand on their own,
(I'm Into) Something Good is one of those, records are complete, unique productions, let's say
Mother's Little Helper is one of those. And what time period and genre are we talking about? Where are Hank Williams, Buck Ram, Don Gibson, Don Robertson, Bacharach, or the Brill Building songwriting duos?
This month, I'd pick something off Van Morrison's early albums, or Leon Russell's, or Elton John's first two, or the Stones Moonlight Mile, Torn and Frayed. (Sitting on the) Dock of the Bay is another favourite, and who can beat such lines as:
"I got sunshine on a cloudy day,
When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May"
(
My Girl by the Temptations. Unfortunately the geniuses who post song lyrics on the web in violation of copyright laws, don't bother to credit the songwriters. It's always "My Girl by the Temptations". Grrrrr!)
And what about The Brand New Tennessee Waltz by Jesse Winchester?
Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison (A fave of both me and the Mrs.) and anything by CCR! (And yes, I am a twentysomething who hates any music dating after 1993 for the most part)
