Re: Rolling Stone top 100 pop songs

I agree.  It's kinda interesting to listen to the old stuff on Who's Missing 
and Odds and Sods that really does sound like sixties pop. Funny to hear The 
Sho sound like that.  TKAA qualifies as sixites pop, or it did before they 
got to fooling with it this year.
