Let's go back to...1967!!
 
1.  Beatles - Your Mother Should Know  
2.  Parliament - Testify  
3.  Byrds - My Back Pages  
4.  Bee Gees - Massachusetts  
5.  Pink Floyd - See Emily Play  
6.  Leonard Cohen - Suzanne  
7.  Doors - Break on Through  
8.  Monkees - I'm a Believer (BEST OF SET!!)  
9.  Otis & Carla - Tramp  
10.  Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth  
 
BONUS TRACK:  Beach Boys - Wild Honey

hmmm...back then I liked the Monkees, but wouldn't put them in the same class as the others in this list.  I guess now they seem different?

Depends upon how the individual defines BOS, i guess.  "I'm a Believer" is a fantastic single, and always brings a smile to my face.  But I wouldn't have voted it best in this crowd either.  

"For What It's Worth" seems the most qualified to me, over-exposed as it might be.  And, it lacks the innocent joy of the Monkey's tune.  Polar opposites, really.  But both great.  As was pretty much everything else.
